Little miss Lily

Chris, Shannon and Lily stayed the night last night. We don't get to see them often enough; for some reason our busy lives and a 45 minute drive between us limits our visits....go figure. We were lucky enough to get them all to ourselves for an overnight before they left for Vegas.
The boys adore little miss Lily and she is truly the cutest thing. I'm pretty sure Sean hugged her 50 times. The boys made sure she spent lots of time in their new play house and kept her very busy. They were so sad to see her leave this morning and Kyle kept saying "I want to go on vacation with Lily." Then came the "we miss Lily," and the "we don't want to go to school today, just stay home with Lily." Such fun cousin time...need to do it more often.

One person's trash....

We had a nice Memorial weekend. Spent Friday night and Saturday in Capitola with Michelle and Cameron and then stayed at home for the duration of Sunday & Monday. Tahoe got 2 feet of snow so Chad spent Sunday at Kirkwood - a day of solitude he needed.
Today we were driving home and around the corner I spotted a pile of plastic - dirty and covered in spider webs..but resembled a kids log cabin.
I went home but it kept calling me so I ran back with Chad's truck and loaded up. Chad, Kyle and I scrubbed it with soap and water and then put it together. The end result was a real treasure and totally free!!! Kyle and Sean were so excited, what a thrill. One person's trash is another's treasure. Fun filled family weekend!
