Gardnerville, cooking..the boys are here and Welcome to the World, Cassidy Shane Byrnes..:)

Saturday morning we got ourselves up and going then jumped in the truck and headed over to Gardnerville so I could do some shopping and Ken could buy some wood for the upcoming winter. The nursery across the street sells it and we know it's good wood as we've bought it before.  Hard to even think about fall and winter with 100+ degree temps we've had here lately. uhhh..

I spent some more $$ at Walmart and then we headed to Carson Valley Inn to introduce Mason to our favorite place.  Carmen's day off but that's ok..all the servers are awesome. He likes a steak sandwich and enjoyed his. On the way home both of us had a nap. Thank goodness Ken was able to drive! LOL..thinking not sleeping well for a few days caught up with me (well the wine didn't hurt either)..

Ken and I went and visited with Karen and Linda for a bit in the evening. It was Linda's last night here before she headed back to southern California. Mason played video games he didn't want to go with us. 

Sunday was spent in the kitchen..I made a ham and and a bunch of other things for snacking for the boys and the trip. The day flew by and before you know it evening.  Karen had called to tell us that she was headed to Tonopah for the night with her hubby.  He brought home the most awesome flag pole and had to go back.  We were going to lock up the dogs for her. Right after we hung up, we see Jill and Jack running by! Off we went in the car, got Jill in the car but Jack kept traveling on. Locked Jill in the pen and before we were done, here comes Jack.  Those dogs..they have to figure something out for them. We let Mugsy out for a bit as he was left inside.  I didn't want to go outside, as the house was nice and cool for him. We did sit outside for a bit and then came home after touching base with Karen. 

Three boys on the couch! from left...Jacob, Mason and Seth

Aaron was a little tired

So was Jacob

Thanks Eric for the carrier..Chairs and the Blackstone

Guess we can't get anymore in the back of the truck..

There's a little room left in the frig..so tomorrow it'll be filled for
a few days..5 teenage boys = a lot of food!

Another angle on the carrier

Jacob, Adam and Seth..

Aaron..

This morning Ken went over and let them out, leaving Jill in the pen. She was not happy. 

Jacob texted saying they were on there way about 0745.  So they were here at 11 something.  Hungry of course. So there goes one loaf of bread. haha..not kidding. I made Adam a sandwich too, figuring when he got here he'd be hungry and I wasn't wrong. 

We finished loading the Jayco and Ken spent the day doing his thing with the truck and what he does to get us ready to go. Hopefully we're ready to go at about 0600 tomorrow.  We're headed to Elko and Lamoille Canyon for 2 nights. There's no service (which is funny, the kids heard that and they're "Grandma why do you always find places with no service?!) Of course they're the ones that want to go to these places..hahhah. 

This am we welcomed a little girl to our family..my sister, Linda became a grandma once again..when Dusty and Chelsea got married the idea of children wasn't a reality because of her heart issues..because of the incredible medical world they welcomed Owen about 3 1/2 years ago..and today... Welcome to the World...Cassidy Shane Byrnes..6 lbs 3 ozs of incredible...their little family is complete! :) 

Cassidy..she looks so much like her brother Owen
when he was born :) 

Time for some dinner for these boys.  Have a great night!
