Penn Valley Visit

I took Reese and Caleb to visit our friend's the Ceselini's for a few days this week. They recently moved into a new house in Penn Valley and it is paradise!! We swam, and swam some more. The boys played and Laney and Reese are now best friends.
I had a great time with Lisa(as always!) We were even able to sneak away for a long lunch at Cirino's to have the best food and the most amazing bloody mary! My favorite!!
Thank you again Lisa for everything!! We had such an amazing visit!!
The pool. Look at that yard!

Reese's favorite part of their house was the trampoline. Or as she calls it the "jump jump"
these girls jumped for EVER:)

 

Please notice Reese's awesome hair from the static!!

Saying goodbye to each other!! They hugged like 20 times it was the sweetest thing ever 

 

Graeagle

Jim and I took the kids to his parents house in Graeagle for a long weekend. His parents, sister, and her daughter were also in town. We had a great time! My dad, step mom, and grandparents also stayed nearby, so we got to see them too.
I was so excited to spend time with my niece. She is a crack up and one very busy girl. I don't know how you keep up with her Amber!!!:) She and Reese were so cute together.
I was really nervous about the trip to be honest. We haven't taken Katie on a trip like that in well over a year. We weren't sure how she would handle the car ride, or the trip itself, but she did amazing!! She was happy the entire time, she didn't puke or cry once! She slept great too.
Reese on the other hand, was a different story. She did GREAT on the car ride up, but then when we were about 15 miles from the house she got car sick and threw up all over herself. She has never thrown up before, so she was very upset! Then she decided to not sleep at night. At. All.
We were sharing a room with her, which she never does well with, but every night as soon as we would get into bed she would wake up and refuse to sleep in her bed. She ended up sleeping with us 2 nights in our bed. NOT fun to sleep in a FULL SIZE bed with Jim and Reese let me tell you. :/
Saturday night is when they put on their fireworks show. We managed to keep all of the kids awake until the show and the two little girls did great! Reese wanted JIm to cover her ears the whole time, but she loved watching the show. So I guess next time we will just get some ear plugs for her and she will be just fine.
That night Reese acutally slept the whole night in her crib. But she only slept from 11-7 her normal wake up time, so I know she was exhausted! I was SO SO happy when she slept 12 hours last night. I woke up once in the night, did my check of all the kids then went right back to sleep and didn't wake up until Jim left for work. THANK YOU REESE!
I am taking Reese and Caleb to Grass Valley next week to visit friends, and I am REALLY hoping that Reese sleeps while we are there. Now I'm nervous:/ Sorry in advance Lisa! I am SO SO excited for this trip and I can't wait to post pics and tell you all about it
