Snowshoeing

Hiking in the cold, as Jessica calls it - we went snowshoeing and hiked up to the lookout point in Incline Village. It was a gorgeous view of the entire lake. The weather was perfect and the snow was soft and easy to snowshoe through. Owen rode in his Kelty carrier and kept saying "go, go" to get Daddy to move faster. It was a great workout for the dogs too.

Sledding

Baby hill sledding at the driving range! Everyone got a turn on the sled.

Tahoe 2011

Owen was so excited for a week of vacation in Tahoe that he didn't want to take a nap today even during the 2 1/2 hour car ride. A very cold storm dumped right before we arrived and we were greeted with lots of white white snow.

Just like dad

When I grow up I want to be just like my dad.

Driving with daddy

Toddler jewelry

Bringing a toddler out to a nice restaurant requires lots of tricks. First we tried fruit then cheerios and when snacks were not enough to keep him settled in his high chair it was time for extreme measured. A walk around the park helped for 10 minutes. And then the ultimate bribe- letting Owen wear my necklace.

Happy valentines day

Hanging out with the cutest valentine of all. He demanded that we go to the park even though it is cold and windy.

Making faces

Sometimes when Owen is hamming it up for the camera his smile starts looking a little crazy.

Hard at work

Learning to skate

Our park has the coolest play equipment. Owen is trying out his skateboarding skill.

Supper Bowl Run

Getting ready for a guilt-free supper bowl, just start your day with a 10K.

Snuggle time

This is Jax's dog bed, not meant for a 55 pound dog and a toddler to squeeze into together.
