The Sneezin' Store

So yesterday my husband took my son to get his Flu-mist. He knew he would be getting a flu shot to help "keep him healthy & strong." I was getting ready to go to work when they got home from the pediatrician office & I asked him where he had gone & how it went. He told me he had been to "the sneezin' store." I then asked him what happened at the sneezing store. He proceeded to tell me "well, I got some nose stuff that is good. But it was really stinky!" The nurse told him to sniff like he was smelling roses- didn't smell like roses apparently!

Tahoe, Teeth & Trick or Treat

Okay, so it has been WAY too long since I last wrote. Well, we have been busy. My husband got a second job (very lucky for us considering the economy & all). I continue to work full time & be a mom the rest of the time. Not much time for other things. Well, the end of September we went to Lake Tahoe with some friends for our Anniversary/my birthday. It was a very fun trip. We did lots of fun things while there. M got her first tooth the last day while we were traveling home (Oct 4). She cut her second tooth just one week after the first. Then of course there was Halloween last week. That being said, here are a bunch of pictures.

The first day we spent on the beach. It was nice & warm & a clear day. The rest of the week cooled off quiet a bit.
C kicking the waves

M & our friends little girl. They are 1 month apart & look like they are related, they are not.This is the view out our hotel winow. Yes, that is a ski lift. We woke up the third morning with snow & were SOOO excited about that. Little did we know.

A nice cold walk on the beach & the piers. C has a huge band-aid on his forehead because he fell face first off a 3 foot wall because he "was trying to see my ant friends."

The boys.

The hole crew minus myself.

We went & watched the Salmon spawn. All that black, those are Salmon.

Us & more Salmon

C & L with more salmon. There were some photographers at this bend in the river that told us the day before we were there 2 black bear had been on this very beach catching the salmon. How cool would that have been!?

This bend in the river really reminded me of our old family cabin in southeastern Idaho.

Crystal clear water & more salmon.

C & the wooden firefighter that was at the station near our hotel.

C & the back of the paddle boat we went on. The Ms. Dixie.

Me with snow on my sweatshirt. This was the night before we left.

The view out our window the morning that we were leaving.

We were told you had to have chains or snow tires to get around Lake Tahoe that morning, so we went down the other side of the pass instead of going around the lake. There was about 2 ft! Beautiful.

The road further down the pass.

M in her cute black Halloween outfit for our pumpkin painting/carving party we went to with some friends.

C & M on the front porch. He insisted on being a firefighter, again, for the third year in a row.


Transformers, robots in disguise! Autobots, roll out!

My little fairy firefighter! How cute!
