Design Flaw!



It seems we have a design flaw in our new home.  The dogs can get on the roof from the upstairs balcony.  Paris and even little Bella have trekked out onto the roof, but Gidget makes it her own domain and travels the entire house.  We've blocked it from the little dogs, but Gidget, we think, is jumping the 3 foot railing.  I hope she doesn't ever fall off!

Ski Trip to Tahoe!

We had a great time skiing in unusually springlike weather in Lake Tahoe last week.  Caden hadn't skied in over 4 years choosing not to chance hurting himself in a gymnastics season, but since he has stopped gymnastics, he was excited to re-enter the sport of skiing.  Kyle, obviously, hadn't skied in over 2 years and was excited as well.  Miss Kaylee - this was her first ski experience and she did great.  Dianna skied on the first day, but bad knees and sore legs stopped her from being in the 2nd day picture that you are seeing here.
Kaylee went to ski school for 2 days and by the end of it could ski just about any blue run.  She would just bonsai it down the hill.  This is a picture of her in her class with her instructor behind her.  She had fun.  
Dean, Caden, and I decided to take a drive all the way around Lake Tahoe.  It was such a gorgeous day and we had fun stopping at different points around the lake.  This picture is above Emerald Bay, but we also enjoyed skipping rocks at the beach and loved the little beach area called Sandy Beach.  We look forward to going there in the summer of 2010.  That's the plan anyway.
