1. That the bear ran AWAY from Donnie!
2. A good 9 month visit for Jackson.
22lb 7.5oz (75%)
29inches (70%)
She said he's very proportional and ahead of schedule for all he's doing. Yeay!
3. We both got naps today! And Jackson is now sleeping 7pm-6am. Oh how that will make my life going back to work next week so much easier!

Sunday Tahoe
Jackson wakes up a much happier camper. I'm just happy the bear is gone.
On the way home we stopped at (I can't remember the real name but it's near the,) Tallac Historic Site. They have a great habitat exhibit, and Donnie got to show Jackson the fishes they're going to catch someday!
And a few lame shots on the way home, from the truck.
Can't wait until next year! Jackson will be walking and be a dirty mess for sure.

Tahoe, Night 2
The second night, we decided to sleep in the truck. So much better! It was so warm with the new shell Donnie bought for his truck. And since we forgot our air mattress anyways, the level bed was much nicer! I would definitely do that again!
How glad was I that we were in the truck that night, when Donnie woke me up to look at the bear. Although our conversation went like this.
Donnie: "Look, look at the bear!" (pointing his flashlight right at it)
Me: "Where?"
Donnie: "Right there!" (waving his flashlight frantically)
Me: "Where?"
Donnie: (waving and now half out of the truck pointing)
Me: "OH! It's RIGHT THERE!"
Donnie: "I'm going out to go to the bathroom."
Me: "WHAT?!"
Donnie: "Where's the camera."
Me: "WHAT?!"
I couldn't believe him. Crazy. But he did get some pics!
The Bear's food of choice, Cool Whip. Not from our campsite!

Beach Day Saturday
Saturday was Jackson's first Tahoe beach day! Which he got to enjoy after a nice nap after being up all night.
Up and confused.
We tried to be good parents and make him wear a hat. Haha.
Getting his first taste of sand. It was inevitable. Smarty didn't do it more than once though.
And out in the water with Dawn, Devin, and Tyler.

Friday Tahoe
We had our annual Tahoe camping trip this past weekend! What did I forget as usual? The memory card to MY camera, so I had to use Donnie's. Which means I wasn't as excited to take pictures. :(
Jackson in his first tent! He just loved crawling around.
Getting his first (hmm, maybe not first) taste of dirt.
Maureen showing Jackson her key chain with a pig-light that oinked, he would just laugh!
The first night in the tent, not so good. Jackson was up pretty much all of the night! We got a horrible night's sleep and I think everyone else did too. Also there was this "coyote howling" at night and early in the morning. I think it was fake by some obnoxious campers. Donnie says it was totally really. The jury is still out on that one.

Tahoe!
We're off to Tahoe camping tomorrow. My family's annual camping trip at Camp Richardson.
I wasn't able to make a treat like our last trip, but I was able to buy stuff for s'mores!
We'll see how it goes. Hopefully we don't have the screaming kid at the campground and Jackson doesn't eat too much sand. Eeek.

Lunch at our house
Another blogger once introduced me to this wonderful blog about all of the Bento Lunches she serves her kids. I've loved reading it and seeing the pictures and of course can't wait until I can make Jackson's lunch!
Well, Donnie took overtime at the Command Center answering calls and dispatching engines for the next 2 days, so I got to make him lunch for tomorrow. And after reading her archives, found the recipe for Corndog Muffins!!! Anybody who really knows Donnie, knows he's just madly in love with corndogs.
I feel the same way as the lunch blogger, I don't really consider a corndog real food, but if I can make something myself (and use nitrate-free hotdogs from Whole Foods), I at least feel a little better than pulling them out of some box. And I have to say, they're scrumptious! Odd looking, but good. I had one for dinner with a glass of Zin and it was deliciously sinful.
I've also made her Mini-Quiches for my own lunch at school and they're fabulous!

Jackson says,
"C m kjlj lom iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii xaxD."
Hmm, Jackson's first and last time (for a long while) on the laptop keyboard. He almost broke the j key, thank goodness it popped back in.
