Tae Kwan Do

Laura has been taking Tae Kwan Do classes and here she is working on her kicks!

Fair

We took Aubrey to the Southern California Fair in Perris. She looked around at the rides, rode her first horse and looked at animals. What more could a kid want?


Looking at the colorful lights

Having fun!

Aubrey's 1st time at the beach!

In October after Laura's birthday, Uncle Richard, Philip, Aubrey and I went to Huntington Beach and stayed at the Hyatt. It was a gorgeous hotel with direct beach access. We took Aubrey out on the beach and she had a blast. We explored and found some great pools perfect for little ones. Here are a few pictures. I hope we can go back and visit again soon.

I have not been faithful in posting to our blog. A lot has changed in our lives and it has been the last thing on my mind to post videos and pictures. We moved back to Southern California in the summer and its been a great move, but stressful at the same time. I'm going to try and keep it going, life has taken over and I intend to keep our family page alive. Updates are on the way :)

Walking baby!

So, here I am. Its been a long time since I have posted. Many things have changed for our family. I am way behind on blogs so here is a special one for my sister. I had good intentions of posting this weeks ago and with all the craziness we call life, I never posted what I promised. So here are a few videos of Aubrey walking! She is very fast now and runs as best as she can. Enjoy and let me know you were here! Love, Lisa
