Tahoe!!

First of all, Yep I'm alive! We've had some seriously major family drama (not between me, Karl, and the boys... but other family members.)I've been kinda down lately and I just haven't been thrilled to write  anything... but I've been really working hard to get back to my old self, so I'm hopeful I'll be back to normal really soon! In the meantime, enjoy the pics of our yearly Tahoe trip!

A picture perfect day at the lake...

Check out the ladybug on Dillon's hand... Cam found it in the lake... it's some sort of gigantic ladybug...

Thanks for looking!! I will hopefully be posting more regularly, **fingers crossed!!**

Memorial Day Weekend 2010

                                             

This weekend was the epitome of summer for me. The boys running wild through the lush green meadows in Philo, CA at my uncle's ranch. The boys ran free for hours and hours, Jack trailing, never far behind. They caught dozens of blue belly lizards and kept them in buckets. Dillon was in little brother mode, loaded down like a pack mule with buckets and nets while Cam, hands empty, ran around trying to catch the lizards. At the end of the night, they ate s'mores around the campfire with their grubby little hands. They conked out late that night, only to awaken at first light, Dillon bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready for some more lizard hunting.

The second day brought more than just lizards. Cam's bounty....

                                                  A baby bird he rescued from our room...

A frog...

A dead scorpion and huge brown spider (not pictured- it was HUGE!)

And his buddy, "Co-pilot" The little lizard that stayed on his shoulder for our entire hike!

 Dillon came running over to Karl yelling "Dad!! I found the weirdest creature!" We just went along with it...

The Boy's blue belly collection from just a few minutes....

Dillon showing off the first lizard he's ever caught...

The kids standing under an old wooden footbridge that used to be the only way over the river... over a hundred years ago...

And last but not least, a great pic of Karl and I! We had such a wonderful time... I can't wait to go again1
