Happy Birthday Aunt Brie!

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

We took Aunt Brie out to breakfast on her birthday.  Maya spotted the horses in the water while walking to The Classic Cup so we had to take a detour.

Lilli!

Saturday evening we went over to Lilli’s house.  We had a nice dinner and played outside at Dawndy’s and over at Grandma Rosie’s in the water and sand.

Grandma Rosie put up Maya’s swing in her new arbor and the girls were thrilled to take turns going fast!

Jumping in Lilli’s bouncy house!

Hugs!

We spent last weekend in Tipton, IA at Grandma’s house.  Maya had lots of fun riding on the lawn mower with Grandma.

We had a nice visit with Carol at a coffee shop in town.

Grandma has horses in her barn which Maya had to see every time we came home or left.

More meow’s!

Swinging with daddy!

Bye Bye Grandma’s house!

Sweet Griffin holding his new baby sister Olivia.  She’s one month old now!

Everyone wants to hold the baby at the same time.  So here’s the compromise.  Good looking bunch!

Penguin Park!

Aunt Brie & I took Maya to Penguin Park on Labor Day.

There’s a slide inside this kangaroo that Maya loved to go down.

The highlight of every park, the drinking fountain.

Big slide!

Wine country

Dustin & I spent one day of our recent trip to Monterey touring different wineries.  Below is a pic of some of the vines at Chateau Julien.  Our tour guide was wonderful and we learned a lot.

They have a huge warehouse of barrels where their wine is being aged.

We stopped by Talbott for a tasting and then had lunch at a nice outdoor bistro next door.

Hanging out with Dad in the ocean.  We were at Carmel by the Sea for the afternoon.

Uncle Corey played with baby girl in the ocean as well.

Yes, that’s my daughter.  The one at the bar.  With the sippy of milk.  At 9pm.

Good thing we had Maya with us, she knew exactly where we should go!

Happy Birthday to Mama!  We spent the evening of my bday in San Fran and hung out at Fisherman’s Warf until we took a cable car back to the hotel.

Where’d she learn how to fake smile like that?  Brie, any ideas?

We went to San Francisco a couple weeks ago.  Maya wasn’t too happy about being woken up before 6am.

The beach!

It was time to go, but she was telling us, “more oceans!”

Hanging out with Aunt Brie.

Maya may have a bit of an attitude.

My girl.

Lilli

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Lilli & Luna came over to play outside in the water. The girls weren’t really listening when I suggested not sitting in the water table.

Kindermusik!  Maya’s going to take a break from MyGym and go to Kindermusik instead with her friends Lilli & Luna.
