Lake Tahoe

3:58 pm by Janelle. Filed under: News

Every year my dad’s side of the family rents a cabin in Tahoe…it was one of my fondest memories growing up. Lots of stories from Tahoe! Though it would have been nice to go up there for a whole week…or even two :) we went up for just the day yesterday and is was awesome! I forgot how amazingly beautiful it is up there! The lake is perfectly clear and a lovely turquoise…wow.

I could have stayed a lot longer! Though, I may not have been able to enjoy it with the sunburns we all came home with!! I applied sunscreen TWICE to the kids…it was a 50spf spray on sunscreen…which I rubbed in…and the kids have some racoon eyes and random spots all over. Shaun…well, basically if you take off his shirt you might think he is still wearing a shirt. And I forgot to put sunscreen on just my back and well, it’s fried. So today has been pretty unproductive. Lots of whining by all :)

But anyway, here are a few pictures! Ada would stay still long enough to get a picture of her while Preston didn’t quite cooperate the same so there may be a few more of Ada…another reason being I couldn’t get enough of her duck swimsuit cover (which was mine and Kelsey’s when we were babies!) and her scrunchy face!

Since it’s been a month…

12:36 pm by Janelle. Filed under: News

Or maybe even longer than a month…i figure it’s about time to update this sucker…don’t you? :) Lots of changes happened here over the last month so it’s been crazy busy. We moved…the moved again. We are still trying to unpack! We took a trip up to Oregon…I got to run in the Oregon Epic Relay from Portland to Eugene. It was hard…but yes, it was epic :) Of course we had to stop at Rice Hill and get ice cream on the way up there (that’s where we…along with the whole Edwards/Morgan family stops to get massive scoops of Umpqua ice cream on the way up to Portland…)

We also said goodbye to my brother and his family as they moved to Chicago! Preston’s best friends :( He still thinks we can just go visit them….whenever he hears that we are on the phone with Jami or Tim he asks, “Are they coming over?” Sorry buddy…but luckily we will get to see them all soon!

Then we had a nice 4th of July…just a fun little BBQ with family and some fireworks with the kiddos. We got this box of pretty small ones since Preston has been afraid of fireworks his entire existence…so most of them were pretty tiny but he loved it! It was fun that he was excited this year!

Life has just seemed so crazy lately I feel like I’m being dragged around and I can’t catch up or keep on top of anything! Hopefully I can get things to calm down for a minute and then maybe I will blog more…how many times have I said that? I don’t know:) Well, below are just a few random pictures…or more than a few…I didn’t put them in any sort of collage format so it’ll probably seem like a ton. Oh well. Just look at one picture a day and then it will give you something until the next time I blog…haha…kidding.

Below are some pictures from our Oregon trip, 4th of July, playing with cousins, and a bunch of other random ones of just whatever we have been doing! P.S. Sorry about the tiny team photos…I snagged them off someone else’s page!
