Redding

We spent a week with Daniel's parents in Redding before going to Lake Shasta which is very close by. Daniel took 2 weeks off of work and I was sad to have him go back to work. We had a lot of fun with Grandpa and Grandma Lees. We hung out, played in the pool, went out to eat a lot, and wore out the kids (and Grandma).

Grandma had to remove her glass because they wouldn't stay off it

Thanks for having us, paying for us, and watching our kids so we could go out a number of times, we had fun and miss you!

Lake Shasta

We went to Lake Shasta in Northern California for a week with my parents, my brother Shea, my sister Tyne, my Uncle Steve, Aunt Tracy, their 2 kids, and their 2 friends. It was tons of fun!

Parker stuck his hand in a subwoofer and got his finger stuck, he ripped off a good chuck of it. Daniel learned how to surf behind a boat and loved it. We had lots of fun, didn't get enough sleep, but lots of sun!!! Thanks mom, dad, Steve, and Tracy for inviting us along!

It's a... BOY!

The Kids

Staucie and Parker LOVE to sit on their charis together. They like to eat that way too. I sit in front of them with one spoon and they take turns having bites. Staucie always sets up the chairs and calls Parker over ("Come on, Parker!") so he can have some too. Too cute. This picture is too dark because I took it with the sun shining in from behind...Oh well!

One day Parker decided to do laps around the island in the kitchen and living room with Mr. Potato Head's shoes in his mouth. They kept falling out because he is just holding onto the little stick with his little teeth, and he would stop and put them back in and then continue his laps.

Daniel found Parker in the living room just sitting in his truck.
The kids were eating suckers and Staucie finished hers first so she went to see if Parker would share the rest of his.
Lucky for Staucie he was happy to share.
They also like to scream together. First one screams and then the other and they just go back and forth screaming. I hope the neighbors like it! I think it is cute. They especially do it when they are eating or sitting in their chairs by each other.

Monkey Jumping on the Bed

Staucie got on our bed while I was trying to make it (like always) and she said she wanted me to take pictures of her jumping, so here they are! She is funny. Although it does take me a long time to make the bed...
