Most people do bath time mohawks, but in our tub, this seems more fitting...

Memorial Day Weekend

I panicked a bit when I saw all this snow driving to Lake Tahoe on Memorial Day weekend. I wondered if I had packed enough warm clothing. The night before had a big storm that dumped a bunch of snow on the mountains. It was beautiful!

And Cody was thrilled! He had never touched real snow before! We pulled over into one of those snow play areas near the highway.

Tanner couldn't believe how cold the snow was when he touched it! And yes, we were too cheap to buy snow boots! The galoshes worked fine for a quick romp in the snow!

As we dropped down toward the lake, there wasn't as much snow. Whew!

Russell's sister Lani booked us some really charming cabins in Zephyr Cove.

Grandpa relaxing by the fire.

Kind of neat to be playing on the beach with snow on the mountains!

The boys and grandma going for a paddle boat ride! Tanner wanted to come back as soon as they got out on the water!

Thanks for a great trip, Lani and Bob!!!

Cody's Birthday, Part 2

Since we didn't have a party for Cody, the Party in a Box (Michelle, RJ and Reiko) didn't have a chance to give him his birthday present. In normal circumstances, people would just drop the present by the house. Not Michelle! She had a full blown dinner party for him! As a bonus, Mika and Lesly stopped by after dinner! Cody was very excited (and sweaty) about the whole thing!
