Fiesta Farm

Since we are on Spring Break this week, my friend Emily and I scheduled a play date for our boys this morning. She brought her son Collin and nephew Parker. We took the boys to Fiesta Farm which is a working farm with tons of animals and fun little activities for the kiddos...and it's super cheap! We were the first ones there at 9:00 this morning so we practically had the whole place to ourselves. Luke absolutely loved it!
He got to pet and feed all sorts of animals: goats, bunnies, pigs, horses, and llamas. He went on a pony ride and a hay ride AND best of all they had a huge sandbox for him to play in (the kid is absolutely obsessed with dirt, sand, shovels and anything messy).
He was too busy to pose for pictures so I wasn't able to get many pics of him looking at the camera...most of the shots are of the side or back of his head :(

Lake Tahoe

For New Year's this year, Brent's dad and step-mom treated us to a trip to Lake Tahoe. We had soooo much fun and saw more snow than we've ever seen before!
If it's up to me, this should be an every year tradition.

I was really worried about traveling with two little ones, especially on an airplane, but both kiddos surprised us and did such a great job!

These are of our first day in Tahoe...it was the only sunny day of the trip..we put both babies in a toboggan and pulled them around the condo. Our condo was right on Lake Tahoe! We also took a gondola up to the top of Heavenly Ski Resort...so beautiful!































The rest of the week Tahoe had record breaking snow fall...it was CRAZY! We had never seen that much snow before and loved every minute of it! The temp was in the negatives, but that didn't stop us from getting out and playing in the snow.
