I am in L.O.V.E

I am in love with Lake Tahoe. This year we rented a house and spent 10 whole days there on vacation! It was so much fun and the weather was beautiful. We went hiking, fishing, biking, swimming, tubing, beaching (is this a word?) and shopping. The kids got absolutely filthy, and they loved it. The house we rented had a roof on top that had a BBQ, and so went roasted hot dogs and had smores. Mmmmm... Anyway, I have tons of pictures, so the next three posts will be just

of our Tahoe trip. I've decided that we need to go every year--maybe twice a year.

Lake Tahoe Part 1

A big part of our Tahoe trip was spent fishing. Well, really it was Brock with the three older boys fishing and me and Sawyer hanging out at the house. One morning though, Brock, Tyler and Parker went on a charter boat and had a great time. Added bonus--they had plenty of free donuts, which my children clearly loved.

Lake Tahoe Part 2

One day at Tahoe we spent at the beach with some friends. We went out on their boat and went tubing, and the kids spent

6 hours playing in the sand and water. The water was beautiful!

Lake Tahoe Part 3

Here are some more pictures of Lake Tahoe. My dad was coming out to visit it, and it happened to overlap one day in our Tahoe trip, so it was fun to have him there to spend time.

4th of July

I love the 4th of July. What is there not to love--BBQs, swimming, fireworks, music and matching red, white & blue clothes. It makes me happy...

Trip to Idaho

Brock's grandpa died so we headed to Idaho for the funeral. He lived on a farm with lots of fun things for the kids to do--four wheelers, climbing trees, and most of all, playing with the fire. That fire provided HOURS of entertainment. Plus, the kids were able to hang out with lots of family that they don't see much.

Parker's Preschool Graduation

Parker had an amazing time at preschool this past year. He loved his friends and he LOVED his teacher. I am so sad that she will no longer be doing preschool, but I am very lucky that two of my kids have had her.
