Lake Tahoe 2010

In August we had our 2nd annual trip to Tahoe with the Stork's, Towne's & Middleton's. The trip was the first week of December last year but we moved it to August because I think we'll be a little busy then :)

We rented a HUGE house in South Lake. It had a great living room for the kids to roam and play, a yard for everyone to play, a spa for the non-pregnant adults (everyone but me) to enjoy and a great creek across the road for the kids to throw rocks in. It was a wonderful relaxing weekend.

The ladies got a few hours to ourselves for manicures & pedicures. We came to story hour...

Our Big Boy!

A few weeks ago we moved Dylan into a big boy bed! He got all new furniture and came home very surprised one afternoon. So far he's doing great. He loves having the freedom to climb in and out of his bed on his own. He also loves the new "Michee" (Mickey) ball pit he got for his big boy room.

He was so exhausted from playing in his ball pit he climbed into his closet and fell asleep! I went to find him in his room and couldn't find him anywhere. I opened the closet door and found this:

We told you he was a dare devil...

Summer Vacation 2010

This year for vacation we traveled with my entire family to Southern CA. To celebrate my grandparent's 60th anniversary, they rented a house on the beach in Dana Point. The house was beautiful and right on the beach! It was so perfect for the kids. We walked right off of our porch onto the sand. It was so nice not to have to pack anything up to go to the beach. It was an adventurous week with all of us in one house but everyone came out alive. You think I'm joking but we survived a fire! While making dinner one night the BBQ caught on fire. Thankfully the 2 retired police officers also know how to put out a fire. Krissy, Mamaley and I grabbed the kids and ran out front as our house filled with smoke. Thankfully the fire was put out and all was well. As long as we were down south, we also went to Disneyland and San Diego to see Nick's parents. Disneyland was great! Dylan loved running around and meeting the characters. His love for It's A Small World also continued from last year. He got so excited while we were waiting in line and couldn't wait to get on the boat! Then he would dance and sing the entire ride! Absolutely adorable! He slept through Fantasmic but the rest of us enjoyed it.
