What To Do When Auntie Angel Comes To Town

What do you get when you put five small children in one house for a week? A LOT ACTIVITIES (you know, to make sure we keep all five children & don't "accidentally" leave some of them at the park.)

We went to Lake Tahoe on Thursday. And yes, Gretchen is screaming in this picture. It was the end of the day. And I just caught her MID FALL off a huge boulder. Cause I'm an awesome Mom (that puts her small child on large boulders... Poor kid.)



Matia and Gretchen have a love/hate relationship. Especially when Matia decides to "help" Gretchen. I think Gretchen is on time-out #259 for pinching/pulling hair/hitting. Here you see the LOVE part of the love/hate. Check out the sweet blue swim goggles that Gretchen insisted on wearing.



Making sand castles in the sand....



We didn't even need to pull out the Ghetto Pool! Grandma bought this fancy Alligator Pool last year and it only had one hole in it!



We went to Auntie Krista's house some mini-farm fun. What? Gretchen thought riding on a horse 20x her size was fun? How unexpected.






Poor, poor baby chickens. They tried to run, but no one is safe from Matia. Or Gretchen.





Auntie Krista thought it'd be funny to take some naked baby glamour shots. Gretchen thought it'd be funny to crash the party.



We celebrated the Klassier side of Reno by taking the kids out for a photo shoot downtown. We're so proud of our town!












No chickens were harmed in the making of this post.

Great shots but I hope you spent some time de-contaminating the kids of downtown Reno, like with bleach or something. Miss my kiddos.

Those pictures are so great they look fake. Did you end up coming here and running the 1/2 marathon?

What? Did I read 1/2 marathon? Awesome.

Your kids are so cute. And I love the pic from Lake Tahoe. The last time I was there I was 9 & really car sick. Great memory!
