They are so tiny and cute. When you hold them they just cuddle right in and sleep. And the VERY few times we heard them cry, it was a such a sweet little sound. I can't wait to hold them again!

Congratulations to Momma Lisa and Daddy Chris on your precious little ones!

Sunday Breakfast

1 comments
This morning I got up and made my family recipe for buttermilk pancakes. I added bananas & chocolate chips to Aiden's pancakes and let him go for it. The result was this....


There was chocolate and bits of pancake everywhere. Arms, legs, hair, inside his ear. Even inside his diaper. So, it was an early bath day.


Followed by an hour of Aiden's favorite game - "I won't let you get me dressed". The kid loves being naked. As soon as a diaper or clothes appear - he is gone.



Hmmmm...now what should we do for the rest of the day?

Aiden's First Swim in Folsom Lake

0 comments
Swimming. Picnics. Ice cream. The lake. No doubt about it, summer is fun.

We took Aiden to Folsom lake for the first time the other day. It is just minutes away from our house and somewhere that I am sure we will spend more and more time at as Aiden gets older. The lake is really full right now so the water is pretty shallow pretty far out and there are big rocks and little islands everywhere to hang out on.

Aiden did not want to get out of the water! He had a great time splashing around and kept trying to get away from us to swim on his own - he definitely has NO FEAR of the water so we will have to watch him extra carefully around pools and even our pond. He stayed in so long that his fingers and toes got all pruney and he kept looking at them funny wondering what was going on!

Splash! Splash!

2nd Trip to Lake Tahoe

1 comments

We have not been up to Tahoe in a year and I was just dying to take a little trip up to the mountains. Last time we went up, Aiden was still on oxygen and we couldn't get out much. This trip I wanted to take Aiden out, so we went to the beach, lots of walks, shopping, out to pizza and to the ice cream parlor. Momma, Daddy and Uncle Adam even had a night out to have a few drinks at the casinos. So...um....when can we go back up?

This was Aiden's first trip to a beach, he like the water as long as someone was holding onto him, it was windy and we didn't stay that long. The water was not too bad - If I had a swimsuit, I would have gone in!

He liked walking in the sand and the little waves, he didn't really like sitting in the sand though.

The next day we went for a walk on the trail by Camp Richardson and to the stream profile. It was so nice to get outside and enjoy the day!

When Aiden got tired of being in his stroller Daddy gave him a ride on his shoulders!

We went on this trail last year during our visit also, so of course we had to take a picture on the same bench that we took one last year, here is last years pic....

And here is this year!
After we got a work out on the trail (ha!) we stopped at the toy store so Papa John could buy Aiden a toy (a Tahoe tradition for the Walshaw grandbabies) and then my grandma took us out for ice cream at a really cute little ice cream shop called the Red Hut Soda Fountain. The girls at the ice cream shop taught me how to do the "whip cream trick"...don't ask, but try it if your ever up in Tahoe ;)

Needless to say, we had a great time. Awesome weather, awesome food, and awesome family :)
