A Date With My Bri-Be

Since baby is coming this weekend I took Cambria on a date while Jesse and Atreyu had some boy time. We got our nails done while relaxing in the massaging chairs. Cambria couldn't hold back the giggles as they tickled her feet while scrubbing them. I love that she enjoys going out and doing girly things. We then had lunch at IHop and enjoyed some delicious Grinch hot cocoa.

The next time we have a girl date, will have another little girl to bring with us.

Sister Missionaries

Earlier this year, they traded the elders in our area for sister missionaries. We've had them over for dinner a few times and the kids love them. I like how the sisters have been so much more friendly with the kids than the elders were. We really enjoy Sister Leavitt and Sister Crane. Sadly, Sister Crane is getting transferred but we've had the opportunity to meet Sister Oast who is very sweet. I love the wonderful examples these sisters are to all of us especially to Cambria who may serve a mission someday as well.

 

Lake Tahoe

Jesse had to work on our anniversary so we celebrated the week later by taking a family trip to Lake Tahoe. It was so beautiful there. We were lucky and caught the fall colors as well as the lake being the clearest that it is all year. The first day we made the one mile hike down to Vikingsholm Castle. It's a cool, old house nestled inside a cove on the lake. It was so beautiful and I loved all the small details that were included in its design.

We spent the whole next day at Sand Harbor beach. There were giant rocks along the coast of the lake that we climbed on all day. The kids kept finding what Atreyu called "chambers" or little caves that they could climb down into. The weather was just perfect. I was thankful to be able to spend the day enjoying our Heavenly Father's creations with my family.

After dinner one night, we went to the Baked Bear where we were able to choose our homemade cookies and ice cream and make ice cream sandwiches. They were delicious and the kids thoroughly enjoyed them.
