Camping at Burney Falls
If you haven't been to Burney - you should go! We had a great time camping, hiking, fishing, swimming, and biking at Burney McArthur State Park. This area is absolutely amazing - we will be going back next year for sure. Camping with a toddler and a 'baby' is exhausting, but so fun too. Brock would just randomly say, "I'm so excited to be camping at Burney Falls" or "I think we should go camping at Burney again soon, but not during the balloon races" - very sweet. Close the advertisement on the slide show to view the captions. t.

Look Out World
After a short tantrum becuase my car was stuck and no one would help me...I decided to show you all how good I am at walking! I know...I know... my mom is always talking about how easy going I am...but I saw my brother doing this 'lay with your face down on the dirty kitchen floor and whine' move once, so I thought I would give it a try...I wasn't really serious.

More Camping
We just returned from an 8 day camping trip at Zepher Cove. We had the boys for four days, did some commuting home and back, and then Cory and I ended the week child free to celebrate our 7th anniversary. My parents made their first solo trip with the boys to the beach house, while Cory and I relaxed in Tahoe. The first half of the week was wonderfully chaotic and fun and the last part was wonderfully relaxing! The perfect combination!
Beach, beach, beach!
The chipmunks were very brave and chubby in this campground. Brock and Cory set up this trap and used graham crackers to bait them - a few close calls but no success.
Making a serious mess of some mac n cheese.
I don't even think the Victoria's Secret models could top this pose!
This is the reaction I get when I try to take a picture of Brock - the little stinker gives me the hand or the dirtiest look you've ever seen.
Cory and I did some kayaking and biking, but mostly we just did this! I don't remember the last time I relaxed on the beach - it was so weird!

Happy First Birthday!!!
Theo Patrick Jennings turned the big O-N-E last week! Yes, I know, this post is so late! Never would I have let a birthday post slip by for over a week with my first born!
I have already apologized to Theo and he has agreed to let me make up some of this neglect when Brock leaves for college! It is so hard for me to believe that just a year ago we were admiring our sweet newborn and now he is a big one year old. The time has just flown by! We feel so blessed to have Mr. T in our lives! Things he is up to at one year old:
- Living Large, not sure how big yet, but he is a big boy and wearing 24 month clothes for the most part.
- Stepping, not walking, but taking steps – the record is five. He has been standing on his own for months but is taking to walking with caution.
- Talking, his ‘words’ at one are: ‘Uh oh’, ‘Hmmmm’, ‘Bow’(either brother or Brock), ‘Ba’(ball), ‘Brrrmmmm’(car noise), ‘Eye’ (light), ‘ah da’( all done) and probably a couple others. He loves to point at things and yell (he does with this gusto)! I think this is his way of saying ‘what’s that?’ – its pretty hilarious.
- Being easy, Theo is still so easy going. He is and always has been a FANTASTIC sleeper! He is just a quick tickle from a good laugh and never disappoints with the smiles.
- Making teeth – our easy going guy was a bit disturbed by the arrival of two new teeth this past week. The top two middle teeth arrived and they are big ones! He was a little crabby (some days a lot crabby) during the day – but still a great sleeper. 4 teeth all together!
- Busy, he is a busy boy. Loves to put things into other things and stack. He is always up to something.
- Cuddling! I love how he still falls asleep in my arms – the perfect time for me to stare at him, cover him with kisses and smell his sweet little head without him fighting back.
- Water boy – Theo loves the water (just like his big bro)! He will crawl right into Lake Tahoe without hesitation – brrrrr!
We love you Theo – Happy Birthday! Thanks to everyone for the first birthday wishes you sent our way and for helping us celebrate!
