DADDY!

The boys were so excited to see him! Ben could not stop smiling.

The guys.
We drove over to the north side of Lake Tahoe one morning while Dan was in meetings. It was beautiful. Matt makes a run for it.

Sweet hugs at Lake Tahoe.

Ben checking out the rocks. The ones below spell "Brian loves Abbie".

Matt runs down the pier.

Scenic view on the ride back to Reno.

Happy Birthday Matt (a little early, but a new toy for the hotel room). The boys loved their Ikea train set.

Choo Choo! Hard to believe he's almost 2!

He gets frustrated with the magnets but is learning to turn them around.

Ben and Dan went bowling one evening. Ben was beating Dan for a short while. This is evidence. Ben was using bumpers though.

Having fun with Daddy. He also loved his bowling shoes.

With 2 strikes in a row, Dan takes the lead...

Then we went to the arcade. The Grand Sierra Resort was really nice - bowling, arcade, mini golf, gocarts, and good food. Matt likes driving.

Ben takes a turn.

Then we had ice cream! Mint chocolate chip for Ben. He ate the whole thing!

Matt shared chocolate with Mommy. Thankfully, I did not look like this when I finished.

Matt gives Dan a hug.

Matt begins to drool.
