Trip to Vegas

I was able to go to Las Vegas for a weekend this past summer, while Brock stayed home with the kids. I spent time with friends, got to see my sister Janeen, spend time at the pool, shopped, saw Beatles Love (amazing), ate great food and shopped some more. Unfortunately, I did not take my camera because it is so large, but I do have pictures of what went on at the house while I was away. Very comforting....

Brock's Birthday

We celebrated Brock's 32nd birthday. Wow--he is getting old. I actually came home from Las Vegas on his birthday (I know, what kind of lame wife am I?), so we celebrated it the next day. As you can see he got a spiffy yellow box cake cupcake per his request. I love cupcakes--you can put a candle in every cupcake for all of the kids, and that way they spit in their own cake. Maybe I will do something exciting next year.

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.
