Flu Flu Go away!

No time for a long post...but to finish off the Tahoe trip...

Turns out Ryan had the flu .... and then I got it Tuesday night... and Brandon got it Wednesday night .... and then Kamryn got it Friday morning .... and we left Saturday morning!

What a fun trip! :) jk

Actually....I'm really glad I went.
Tahoe is GORGEOUS. I got to spend time with family. I love having time away from real life (even if I am sick). And it was nice to have other people to watch Kamryn while I was sick in bed. My husband is the most amazing man to put up with 2 sick girls for the past week! I'm now finally getting over it...still hacking up a lung every once in a while...and Kamryn's fever has finally passed... But Ryan has kept this household going and kept me as sane as possible, wonderfully! :) I love you Ry!


PS... on a side note... my phone decided to quit on me while we were in Tahoe as well... so that means I lost some friends' phone numbers... email them to me again?!! :) I'm not sure quite yet what I'm going to be doing for a new phone...using Ryan's currently. I'll find out today if my card will work in an older one my dad had on hand! :)

South Lake Tahoe--Day 4

Here we are in South Lake Tahoe and have been here for 4 days now! Wow! It's going by so fast already... :( But it has been fun! HOWEVER, I haven't been great about taking pictures ... so the following are not my doing! :)

We got here Saturday night LATE ... checked in to the very nice Marriott Timber Lodge, and Kamryn and I were finally in bed by 1:30am Pacific time! It was a LONG drive...but not too bad. Kamryn has always been a good traveler so I've been lucky in that way! :)

Sunday we went to church with my Great Aunt Lori. (My dad's aunt). She lives here in Tahoe and we don't see her very often, but it has been so fun to see her so much over the past couple of days. After church, we came back to the Time Share to nap and then went to Lori's house for dinner. 3 of her 6 kids were there (Jeremy, Andy, and Alecs) with their wives, which was VERY fun as well because we REALLY don't know them very well. We had dinner, played games, and got to know our cousins more! :) It was a wonderful night (But unfortunately...no pictures!) :( (I know I know...I am a shame to the blogging world!) :)

Monday we hung out at the condo and then went to Lori's again for dinner that night. Not as many of her kids were there, but it was a wonderful dinner and again...the company is awesome! I'm just so sad that we don't see them all more!

Funny Story Moment!

Saturday night, we checked in and they gave us a unit on the bottom floor. We looked out the windows and all we saw was a concrete wall!!! Needless to say, we kept the drapes shut! haha But then we realized we couldn't get cell phone reception in that unit either! (which wouldn't work since Mom and Dad both needed to work on Monday) ... So my dad asked the front desk about switching units... Monday morning we packed EVERYTHING up again and moved up to the 4th floor!! We walked in and not only is the view better...but the whole unit is BIGGER!! So much more room!! So...although it was a pain to move again...it was definitely worth it! :)

Moving Again!!!

All our stuff waiting to get into the other unit!

Look how BIG it is though, behind Brandon! (The other one was probably 1/4 of the size in the front room. A cart wouldn't even fit...but Brandon and Kamryn were spinning in circles here!) :)


Kamryn LOVES her uncle Brandon! she has been laughing and laughing and laughing constantly for the last 3 days! He just knows how to get her to giggle! :)


Sad thing that has happened, however, is that Ryan is sick. (my brother Ryan) We think it's just a viral sore throat...but the poor kid is miserable! It's always not fun to be sick...but even worse to be sick on vacation! I'm just hoping and praying and doing everything possible to make sure Kamryn and I don't get sick! Hopefully it goes away soon!

It is BEAUTIFUL country here! You step outside and it smells like pine--reminds me of camping!! We haven't gone close to the lake yet because it has been so cold (but definitely pretty)

... yet it's not quite ski season yet, so there isn't snow. Just cold and rainy! Soon enough I'm sure it'll look like this! :)

Hopefully we'll take more pictures in the next few days! ... :)

We're off!

So, because it is fall break for the public school districts around here this Thursday and Friday, my parents decided to take the kids out of school for the entire week and go to Lake Tahoe. And because Kamryn is my full-time job and she's "glued to my hip" I can really go anywhere, anytime and not have to worry about anything. SO...Kamryn and I are leaving with my family today for an entire week! I'm excited to get away for a little bit.

AND ... (don't feel too sorry for Ryan yet) Ryan is going to come meet up with us on Wednesday or Thursday to also take some vacation time! He's been working very hard lately and needs a break! The nice thing is that this break won't require him to take any vacation days off work either! :) That's always good!

So...don't miss me too much while I'm gone...but I will hopefully have plenty of pictures and stories to tell when I get back! ;)

Love ya!

New Fun Blog

So I have been working on this blog background and the pictures for a while now and Ryan and I FINALLY got them all up. I'm pleased with how it all turned out! :)

The pictures were our family pictures we took a little over a month ago. I finally got the printouts a couple days ago and I am SO excited to put them on my wall! :) A guy in Pleasant Grove, Scott Hancock, took them and I think he did a great job! Kinda expensive...probably won't do it again for a long time! But I was anxious to do pictures before I was pregnant again...we BARELY made it! :)

Anyway, I'm just so excited about my blog...I had to post about it! :) Hope everyone is well! Thanks for visiting! :)
