Lake Tahoe

We are lucky to be so close to Lake Tahoe.

  They think they are swimming.  So cute!

It's raining, it's pouring...

This was their first time playing in the rain.  They loved it!

The Big 30

I can't believe Brant is 30!!  Where did this sweet little boy go?  I just love this picture!

This past weekend Nicole threw Brant a surprise party and it was so much fun.  He kind of knew something was happening for dinner, but he was shocked when the party bus showed up.  I have so many wonderful memories with my brother and I am so happy I got to celebrate with him. 

It was a fun night!

 I got to make a cute little banner for the party. 



 

TJ is the next one to turn 30, I better start planning. 

Wild Island!

We went to Wild Waters yesterday and had so much fun. The kids are at a perfect age now.  They go down the slides together and I just catch them at the bottom.  There is no more having to take one down the slide while the other is running off to do something else, that was too stressful last year.  Now we can actually relax and have a fun time.  

Our poor little Bronsy

Bronson has had a really rough time lately.  I am hoping it is just a phase, but everyone keeps telling me he is just a boy.  I think that is the truth because with Isabelle I never had these problems.  I am not sure I can go a lifetime always being terrified of what he is going to do next.  Every time I hear that cry I think the worse.  Not only does he get hurt every other day, but I send daddy to take him to get his haircut and he comes back looking like Caillou.  He is still handsome, but it is not my favorite look on him.  Thank goodness it grows back so fast. 

About a month ago is when it all started.  We were in the backyard and he was playing on his little cozy coupe and fell right off into the rocks.  A trip to the ER and two staples later he was ready to start playing again.  He is a tough little man though.  Not even a tear when they did the staples.  Just gave daddy thumbs up.  The doctor was even asking if he was awake. While he was being strong I was a mess.  My poor little man. 

 On Saturday we were at my grandparents house and he was playing outside.  All of a sudden I hear that cry and he got stung by a bee on his eyelid. In between these two incidents there have been multiple scratches, bruises and too many hits to the nose.   

He looks like a boxer

I think this is just the beginning, I better toughen up a little. 

Dirt + Fun= Camping

We went camping last weekend and the kids couldn't have been more excited.  There is no kid that loves camping more than our little man Bronson.  He was thrilled to be able to explore and play out in the wilderness. 

Yes, this is what the kids looked like while we were camping.  I guess sometimes you just have to let the kids be kids.  If you know me I am a crazy cleaning lady and I have to say this past weekend I was actually OK with all the dirt.  The kids had so much fun!
