Mae's first ballet class.

I present to you- the cutest ballerina I've ever seen. 

Mae started ballet & tap today at Pasadena Academy of Dance and Music.

She was so thrilled. 

I was probably more excited than she was...

maybe. 

A little.

I mean, just look at her! 

Ridiculous! 

She even had to do some moves at Josiah's school on the way to pick him up.
Check out that bar work.

She had to have a little bun and her necklace.

Here she has her tapshoes on. I'm sure our downstairs neighbors are thrilled. 

Playing catch up.

After a day of scrubbing my house for the arrival of friends, I thought I would take a moment and update my blog. I'll be quick- I've managed to neglect my blog for a bit. 

Here's what the Brewers have been up to since my last blog entry (June 20th).

We had banana ice cream with the sweet little Daisy...

...and played on the playground with her sister, the darling Lily.

We had Vegan Organic KindKreme.

Cameron and I were graciously put on the guest list at Five Iron Frenzy's  Glasshouse show.

I danced to my heart's content and was dressed better than I have been at previous FIF shows.

I even got to say "Hi" to Jeff the Girl.

Cameron and I saw Moonrise Kingdom then came home and had a yummy meal.

Josiah learned how to peel carrots.

Mae took lots of pics of herself.

I found a great used music store in Northridge.

We partied with friends at the water park.

Mae held a baby for the first time! 

Great-Aunt Judy sent the kids ice cream money.

We stopped by the happiest place on earth.

There was too much happiness in Cars Land.

Also, goofiness. Lots of that going around.

My son, the hippie.

Mae put her ice cream money to good use at the Cozy Cone Motel.

First Summer "pallet" on the floor for movie watching.

We all got haircuts. I have bangs again! Also,
I lost about six inches of my hair to damage. Lesson learned, keep up with your trims!

We became members of the LA Zoo!

Mae and her monkey.

Siah and his alligator.

Cameron experienced intense heat in a prairie dog bubble.

Mae thought it was hysterical.

We bought a fish tank...

...and fish to go in it. Meet Minnie, Leonardo, Vedder and Kankle.
Yes, Kankle.

The kids picked out new bedspreads. 

We're doing a "woods/Fantastic Mr. Fox" theme. 

There you have it- a current run down of the Brewer's activities. I'm now off to clean a little more, prepare for the 4th, friends and ack- vacation!

And after the storm, I run and run as the rains come*

Day 17

Water

Today lends itself to the photo challenge. 

It's pouring rain & has been all day. 

Here is the view from our bedroom window.

I'm going back to fort building & reading. :)

After the Storm- Mumford & Sons

New Year, New adventures.

Yesterday was the one month anniversary of us moving to Pasadena. I still can't believe that we're out here. Cameron and I were talking last night about how glad we were to be here.
I created this blog for our family and friends that aren't as close to us physically. I'll be posting pictures and videos of our day to day life as well as our adventures. I hope you all enjoy it. Keep us in your prayers, we'll keep you in ours.
Love,
The Brewers
