Yes this is the bathroom right by our campsite. It was a place many people became greatly acquainted with for 13 of the 15 people got a 24 hour stomach flu. Yuck!! Ryan decided to wake up the whole campground at 5:00AM with his sounds echoing in the stall as he unloaded his stomach!
Ryan helped take care of Lizzy in the morning as Kori helped with breakfast. Seriously, how cute can you be?! Kori said she has never seen a man so baby hungry as Ryan. I keep tellin him I am working on it but he thinks I need to gestate this baby quicker!:)
Part of the hike to Lake Angora. Those are the family spread out along the trail.
A shady spot to rest along the trail. Can you see my bump?! 
Guy talk in the water of Lake Tahoe. Ryan, Steve and Jason. I am sure they are talking about something VERY important...like fantasy football or something:)
"Oh how I hate to get up in the morning..." It was a little chilly in the mornings and Lynette was a little tired from her little one teething and not sleeping much! Doesn't he look like Gumby?:)
I can't remember what these cabins were called but it was a place that was first built as the settlers moved into the Tahoe area. We were all wishing in the well. Don't even ask, I can't tell you my wish or it wont come true! 
Ryan and I on the shores of the lake.
That evening we all went swimming in the pool at the campground so we could all get de-stinkafied. I think it worked a little, but not much:) These are the 2 babes, Stephen's daughter Lizzy and Lynette's son Michael.
Ryan and my home away from home.
Ryan spent lots of time entertaining the kids. Isn't he the best Uncle?! This is with Andrew, Lizzy and Emma.
Megan and I relaxing. Megan was so happy Uncle Ryan let her wear his hat. We are in the process of trying to convince all the kids parents and Michigan is the place to be!
Megan decided she REALLY wanted to do my hair... There are 2 pigtails and then 2 random strands hanging down the front. I should hire her full time dont you think?:)
We finished each day gathering around the fire, singing songs and laughing. This was Ryan's first experience with the Bird Family Singers so it was a new experience for him!
View as you drive in across the Bay Bridge. Just a normal foggy day in the bay.
Ryan standing in front of Pier 39. He was just waiting for an earthquake to happen any minute:) Oh those non-Californians are so paranoid!
Our trolley we got to take through the city. We felt like real tourists hanging off the back!
In front of the Golden Gate. It truly is an awesome site! Can you tell we were cold?! We went from a 100 degree day in Sacramento to 55 deg there!
Megan getting ready with her Ryan.
Megan and her brothers. Cute, cute cute!
The entire Chris Bird Family, including grandma Bird. Christmas Card Picture perfect!
Ryan enjoying the big blow up slide at the after party. He thought it was going to be no big deal and he was going on it for the kids...6 times later I got him to come eat something!
My wonderful sister-in-law Kori and her daughter Emma enjoying the fun.
Ryan and I outside the temple doors. Doesn't he look handsome in his new suite?!
On the temple grounds. Can you see my bump starting? 
Not only are Stephen and Lynette's families there but also Grandma Bird, my Aunt Marueen, and my cousins Michelle Bird and Chelsea Barlow and their kids. It is wonderful to have such a supportive family! (Even better pic of the bump)
Everyone wants a picture with their favorite Uncle Ryan! (Megan, Andrew and Jeffrey)
This is a pic of me, Jay (the owner of the house and one of my favorite people) and my wonderful mother-in-law mamma jigs! I was still in my first trimester, can you tell I am exhausted?!
This is their beautiful house we got to stay in. The picture is taken from their private beach.
Here I am kicking Ryan off the waverunner so I could really let loose. There is not much more peaceful to me than being on the water. We had to fill their tank up twice because I was on it so much!
We are having a baby!!! After months of medication, prayers and lots of faith the Lord has blessed us with a wonderful and healthy pregnancy. I am 9 weeks along and everything is going great, that is if you consider nausea and fatigue great, but they all say that's a healthy pregnancy so I will count my blessings! You can expect the arrival towards the end of January or beginning of February. Lucky me I get to live through the next Michigan winter with my own body heater!! We feel truly grateful and are now just trying to get our lives in order to welcome the new addition!
