Tahoe, Round 2

Camping at Sugar Pine Point with the Blodgetts was a blast. It was good to be back in the dirt camping again. Parker ate his fair share of dirt, and was covered in filth 95% of the time- but it was a lot of fun! 

These are a little late~ but still fun to share :)

My families annual Lake Tahoe Vacation was a blast, as usual. This year however, we opted out of usual campground camping to stay in a cabin just around the corner from the campground in the city of Tahoma. 

With the babies, and Nora only being 3 months old- we thought it'd be easier then camping in the dirt and bugs like we usually do. 

And with a busy 1 year old, I'm sure glad we did!

 Parker looooves the water. It didn't matter that it was 60 degrees or lower, he wanted to be in until his little feet were getting purple! :(

Haley 'napping' on the beach....or the lack thereof

 Parker just wanted to be in the water with dad and grandpa

Beautiful Tahoe, with our favorite dock

Sweet little Parker decided he wanted to be an early riser on this trip! I think it had to do with the fact that his pack n' play was in the room we slept in, so he liked standing up at 6am and seeing us sleeping. Then he'd yell at us until we woke up and got him out! So in order to let the rest of the house sleep, we went for early morning walks. :)

"Want to try some sand mom? It's delicious!"

the beach was a lot of action for baby Nora!

Travis and abby enjoying the view together ;)

Of course a vacation would not be complete without a girls lunch to sunnyside cafe... so delicious. Carrie braided my hair all cool for the outing.  

My lunch- steak salad, yum

Brett is always amazed at how much dessert my family can pound in- this was no exception. this hula pie was so so good!

My crazy hubby going for a dip at 8pm- so cold! 

On our way to Lake Tahoe!! He loves his forward facing carseat. It makes better road trips for me too :)

If you really knew me...

(I've seen this on a few blogs and thought it was a fun idea!)

If you really knew me... 

you would know that I think my husband is the funniest person on the face of the planet 

(and the best looking too :) 

I do not wear the color pink. It looks crazy weird with my hair. 

you would know I prefer a nice, juicy grilled steak over any other food offer

I think I come from the most awesome family, and I think I married into an equally awesome family. 

i really scored in that deparetment

In our house, we don't say the "B" word. that is, "blood" 

I am so easily made nauseous by this word and my left leg goes limp whenever I hear it. 

Practical jokes in our house consist of Brett pretending to cut himself with a kitchen knife and me screaming my head off, running to the corner and covering my eyes. 

(hopefully he never really does hurt himself because I will certainly be no help)

you would know I consider ice cream to be the sixth essential food group. I gotta get my calcium, right?!

you would know that I get serious Seasonal Affective Disorder when I live in snowy/dark places during the winter months. 

 you would know that I am super sensitive to movies/shows that are in anyway sad, scary, or have an animal get hurt in them. Like serious sensitive. Like I may have sat in the other room for 3 hours while my husband watched the movie "War Horse" because I thought the horse died eventually. Turns out he doesn't die.

I know every line in every "Office" episode.

I love watching and/or playing sports with my husband, and I love going to games, especially baseball games.

You would know that I am insanely cheap- and hate to admit it, but if the circumstance is right, I am a re-gifter.  And I love getting re-gifted gifts, or gifts that you tell me what an insane deal you got, or that you got it for free out of a dumpster!! :)

If you really knew me...

you would know that my dream job is to be an oceanographer- but one of my most deathly fears is the open water, so.... not sure if that dream is ever going to work out ;)

you would know (and probably do know) I think my baby Parker is the sweetest, cutest, most wonderful baby ever

you would know that I love animals, fresh flowers, farmers markets and delicious food

I hate naps and fruit flavored gum

you would know I read the comics section of the paper every Sunday, and Brett thinks it's hilarious that I read them

I love to cook and I hate doing crafts (because they never turn out :)

you would know I would rather be barefoot then wear anything else on my feet. you would know my husband thinks I have a temper to match my hair...

you would know I'm a morning person, and definitely not a night owl

I own a lot of jewelry, but never wear a lot

you would know I think my husband is the most awesome, fun, loving, smart, sensitive guy out there

Now you know!

We love baseball season!!
