Lake Tahoe in August

Lake Tahoe

The three of us at Skunk Harbor

Marianne & I made Ina Garten's Spaghetti & Meatball recipe. Sooooo good!
You just want to drink the sauce, seriously - so worth making.
Here is the recipe - we used all ground beef! Enjoy!

The Summer

What our yard looked like before we laid the sod...

After the sod...

During the sod party...

The sod arrived and there were about 15 people from church there to help...

We went on a hike at Grover's Hot Springs with Steph & Ryan.

Walking by the capitol.

At lake Tulloch with Grandma & Papa.

Jane loved the fountain.

One of the girls from the Theology class made us a cake on our anniversary, June 28th. John also got to preach at a church in Fallon. It was a great day of ministry.

Jane smiling next to the tree that Daddy cut down.

Jane chose the buggy hat out of all the other options, too cute.

17 Weeks

The reason that I have not updated the blog in a while is because of that little bump right there. I was so sick for almost 2 months and was one upset tummy away from going to the ER to get hydrated but praise God I didn't get sick for the rest of the day and then it finally subsided. To those of you moms out there that have endured this and worse - WOW! Praise God for getting us through! I can only give Him the credit, I was of no use and John was wonderful! I love my husband...
