We spent the day in Lake Tahoe yesterday with Paul and Kelsey. It was a very relaxing day on the water. We spent most of the day at a beach where the boys could play in the water, throw rocks, or float in the little boat. Allie was not feeling the best from her 2 month shots, so she spent most of the time sleeping on mommy's lap in the shade of the giant pine trees. The weather was beautiful. We ate a very good dinner at the restaurant that Paul works at and then finished off with some Hula Pie for dessert YUM!!! We stopped at another beach after dinner and let the boys play on the playground and run around on the grass by the water. By 7:00 we had the kids PJ's on, tucked them in their car seats, and Andy enjoyed our hour and a half drive home with 3 sleeping kids in the backseat.
I have been trying to get a picture of the three kids, but it's not too easy. This was our best one of the day. About 30 seconds after we took the picture poor little Allie spit-up all over the place..probably why she isn't looking the happiest in the picture.

A Day Fishin' with Grandpa & Daddy
The boys went fishing today with grandpa and daddy. Grandpa borrowed his friend's fishing boat. Andrew was very excited to be riding in "Ozzie's boat." They had good luck and caught 5 rainbow trout. The boys say that they look bigger than they do in the picture...I guess we will believe them. Andrew was pretty intent in watching his pole and learning about fishing from grandpa. Luke enjoyed eating snacks continually and throwing the worms into the water...luckily grandpa had bought two containers of worms. They were so excited when they got home from their adventure tonight, they ran in the house and rubbed their dirty fishy hands all over little Allie, who was all clean and in her PJs. They love her so much and they literally can't keep their hands off of her and they give her so many kisses. She is one lucky little girl to have 2 BIG brothers who love hr so much.
Thanks daddy for taking the camera and getting some great pictures for mommy & Allie!!!

We Did It...Our 1st Camping trip as a family of 5
Thanks Daddy for taking us on a super fun camping trip. We appreciated all your hard work and for having so much fun with us.
Daddy & mommy with Allie on her 1st trip to the beach.We just got home from a great camping trip on the coast. It was great weather and a good relief from the hot and smokey weather we have been having at home. We spent two days in the Bay Area at a hotel because Andy had a work conference and then we headed over to the coast near Santa Cruz to set up camp. The boys loved it and kept busy the entire time. We went with our friends Greg and Emily and their 2 boys. The beach was a short hike from our campsite, but the kids enjoyed the hike. We took a hike to see the tidepools and the boys were so excited about the sea creatures. Allie was a trooper and did a good job despite being a little chilly. She decided her favorite place to sleep was in mom's sleeping bag with her. We are excited for many more camping trips, especially now that the boys bought a huge two room tent.

Happy 4th of July
We had a fun 4th of July morning. We planned our 1st annual neighborhood parade and pancake breakfast. The parade was so cute. We had between 25 & 30 little kids (most about 5 and under) and a lot of dads and moms. The kids all decorated their bikes, scooters, and wagons, and they were all decked out in their 4th of July colors. Andy led the parade around the neighborhood on his bike. He was a great sport and wore a very festive hat that the boys has picked out for him. After the parade we made pancakes out front and hung out in lawn chairs while the kids played. We all headed in for naptime and it then it will be off to grandma & grandpa's house with friends for swimming and a BBQ. HAPPY 4th of JULY
