Uncooperative + no noticeable boy parts = 80% sure it's a girl.

Halloween at Dillon Beach

Dillon Beach was so much fun again this year. I think that this is my favorite family tradition.






Cohen and Jackson spent many hours playing together on the beach and in the dunes and both got out and surfed a wave each.

Jackson and Cohen both wanted to be Star Wars guys again this year. Cohen wanted to be Darth Vadar but then rediscovered his Yoda costume from last year so I had to make a new one to fit him. Jackson was Obe Wan Kenobi. They got way too much candy trick-or-treating around the campground and in town. Luckily, mom and dad were willing to take some off of their hands.

Catching up

It's been a while since I last updated, but I don't think anyone expects much else from me :) We had a busy summer, with a trip to the Tetons and Yellowstone and a move from Truckee back to Reno. This fall has been busy as well. Jackson started Kindergarten at a new school. He's doing really well and loves the new things he's learning. Cohen is 3 now and loves being a big boy. He also seems to be enjoying the little bit of extra time he gets to spend with mom and dad while Jack's in school.




We have been spending a fair amount of time at Lake Tahoe. One of Alex's friends from work took us sailing one day. We sailed out to the middle of the lake and took a swim. The boys loved it, especially Jackson. I think he added "sailor" to the things he wants to be when he grows up.

We had to keep our eye on Cohen, he just wanted to go swimming (he's our little fish).

I'll try to update later this fall!

Just had to try this out!

Grandma

Hi Grandma,
My email address is berhughes@gmail.com

It's been a long time

I didn't realize anyone looked at my blog. But after talking to Grandma on Mother's Day, I realized that she has been looking at it and I haven't updated it for almost a year!!! Sorry Grandma, I'll be better now that I know. This year has been eventful. We moved from Reno to Truckee, Ca. and now will be moving back to Reno (taxes in California are way too high). We have loved our time in Truckee, it is truly paradise for us. We have had a great winter, both boys are getting to be great little skiers. Jackson is getting really good at his parallel turns. Cohen, well, watch out! Cohen just wants to go fast! Jackson is ready to graduate from Kindergarten in June. He's a really good reader and his favorite subject is math in school. Cohen is getting so big too. He's such a happy little guy and makes us smile all of the time. He's pretty proud of the fact that he's now wearing "big boy underpants" and shows them whenever he has the chance.
