Toilet Racer

"Doodles, please play with your trucks somewhere cleaner else.  The toilet seat is not a race track." 

Please, someone else tell me their kid did this, too?

Knocked up.

Just after dinner this evening, I was in the kitchen when I heard nine year old Mr. B. say, 


"Wow.  That is one Knocked Up Baby!"


Say wha?

Oh, I see ...

Knocked OUT little brother!

Mr. B., The proper phrase is "knocked out", "knocked up"  that means something completely different!  :)

And just to clarify....  he simply fell asleep and was not actually knocked out!  

Keep Tahoe Blue

October 7, 2012 - Lake Tahoe, California

It was 59 degrees when we arrived at the boat ramp - but it was a sunny, windless day - so we went boating anyway!  All the bumper stickers say "Keep Tahoe Blue" but I never really remember it being quite *this* shade of blue!  

I believe this is called a "photo dump" of all the beautiful pictures I took! 

Doodles - not too sure about the boat accelerating...

 Off the front of the boat.

We beached the boat, had lunch and then went for a short hike on the Rubicon Trail.

Climbing on the rocks.  Doodles, Coolio and Papa.

It really was so much farther down than this picture shows...

Nice "protective barrier", huh?

Yep - way farther down in real life.

Such a cool shade of blue.

Coolio in a rock cave.

Doodles climbed up the same rock cave, got up there and said "look at me!"

I climbed out onto the edge of the granite and took this picture.  This picture is a very accurate representation of the actual colors that day.

Whoa!  Check out these ominous clouds that rolled in!

I know this is not like my normal posts, but I hope you enjoyed these pictures of the lake I grew up with!

Looking for something silly or ridiculous that my kids' said?  Stay tuned to find out who was knocked up!
