tagg and i were able to ride the coat tails of my family yet again to spend another fantastic week in sandpoint. and even though i wasnt able to participate in some of my favorite activities (tubing, bridge jumping....) we managed to have a great time.

tagg wanted to jump SO badly. he kept saying "me jump too!" instead, he settled for encouraging (read: yelling) at the others to jump quicker.

grace was so brave and made her first jump.

that nite, we had dinner at THE DIVE. and it was A dive. the food was inedible and the service atrocious. but that place did boast one advantage..... a mechanical bull!

tagg was in pure heaven.

everyone got a turn (except for me, boo) and it was so much fun.

oh yeah, and the place had an arm wrestling table. i lost to everyone except for anna. quite depressing. i love how serious megan and my mom are in this shot. scary.

after dinner (if you could call it that) we walked around downtown. i was so grateful for everyone's help with tagg during the entire week. and tagg wasnt hating life either!

ok, so its official. i have knighted "hey cupcake" with the honor of baking my favorite cupcake. they are ugly little things but the best tasting cake and frosting i have ever tried. congratulations, "hey cupcake", you should feel proud.

the next day, it was more sun on the dock.

tagg's number one favorite thing to do while in sandpoint was to play in tyler's toy room. that place is loaded up with the best toys (FOUR buzz lightyears) and tagg loved every minute of it.

the next nite, we roasted marshmallows and sat around the fire telling our most embarrassing moments. where was craig when i needed him? he is always up for a lively round of roasting whitney.

on our last nite there, the adults got all dressed up and headed across the lake for a nice dinner.....

IMG_0636
on a freaking boat! we loaded up the rands' boat, dressed in our finest, to "drive" over to the restaurant. i know its funny, but my little white trash family felt like rock stars!

on our way home from a fabulous nite. what a fun time! maybe a little too much fun because i went to the doctor this morning and i am already dilated to a two (not THAT intense but i am not due for another month) and the doctor said i needed to slow down or he would be seeing me (and the baby) a lot sooner........
