happy birthday little yiayia

we just so happened to be in reno for matt's yiayia's birthday, which was so nice because that means we both got to be at our grandma's birthdays this year. and grandma's are just precious people. we went out to dinner (in tahoe... again!) with lots of family (well, lots to me... a medium amount for matt's family) and had a good time. happy birthday, little yiayia. 86 looks good on you!

swimming in squaw

we spent a lot of our long weekend in reno, actually up in tahoe. we got to spend a little time at the resort at squaw creek doing some swimming with family and friends. and it was fun and the boys loved it. that's the whole story. 

family photos

we took a little family trip to reno and while we were there had professional family photos done by our good friend, nick and his wife, anna. that was worded weird. anna is also our good friend. ha. everything kind of came together last minute and now we're all a little sad that not all of the siblings were there for the photos, but we did have all the grandkids together. so that's something. we took the photos up at squaw in tahoe and i think they turned out just really wonderful. here are a few of the pics (maybe more than a few) and i only included ones with our immediate family in them although there were lots of really great ones that we're not in, of course. per the usual... i highly recommend nick. click the link below to check him out.
