So, just to warn you all, few, faithful Xangians, I think I might be phasing out of Xanga and just stick to Facebook. I put a ton more pics on there and update it a lot more frequently. So if anyone has serious objections to that, please let me know. =)

I went nuts taking pics of our puppy the first week we had him, cause everything was new and cute. I've calmed down a little bit now. =) In the last 2 weeks we've been to Tahoe, San Francisco twice, and Fresno. We're so tired from driving. Indiana got pneumonia while we were in Fresno, so it's been an interesting experience trying to nurse him back to health. Thankfully he's going to be ok. Here are some pics from recent travels...

Indie's first boat ride. Everytime we went fast he totally freaked out. But we still had fun and I'm determined that he will like boat rides and water. hehe.

Here he is testing the waters with Wyley and Wy's brother, Garrett on an island in the middle of Shaver Lake

Tentative little pup in his daddy's lap. This is at Wyley's grandma Gladys's house in Selma.

Right after his vet visit when it was up in the air as to whether it was pneumonia or distemper (very bad...fatal in a lot of puppies), he met Clay and Steph.

I like this pic. Here I am saying (in a high pitched baby voice) "Indie, look over here at mamma!" and Clay makes the funniest face...

We took a little afternoon through late evening trip to San Francisco on Sunday cause Clay had to get to the airport to head back to Cambodia. So we decided to have dinner together on Pier 39 and then ice cream/hot chocolate/espresso at Ghirardelli Square before we said goodbye.

Me and Steph...a successful BFF picture (which is actually quite difficult for us)

Me and Wy (who is especially grizzly looking here)...gotta have one of those...

Steph and I standing (in faith) in Hawaii

We're trying to stay home for a while, but I think next Saturday I'm headed to Carmel with Ann. We'll see. I'm so tired of driving. haha. Good summer fun though.

Blessings,
Lyndsay

Last week my family took a little mini vacation to Tahoe...something we haven't gotten to do for several years besides just day trips. We invited some friends up for the 4th of July and had a great time. Here are lotsa pics for ya...

On the way there we were stopped in traffic for 1.5 hours because of an accident up the road. Put on a happy face! haha.

We finally got to our condo and were greeted by Boobs the Bear and her pimp daddy...(unbelievable)

Me and Wy before the sun hit us...

Ann and Steph playing in the water on the 4th...

Momma on the sail boat...

A little volleyball tourney with all the gang...

Team "Stars and Stripes"...

Lana and I rafting at Sand Harbor...

Me and my sis after a trecherous scale down lots of rocks...

Drying our shoes for the hike back up...haha

For those who have heard about the California fires but haven't seen them...well...neither have I, but the SMOKE is impossible to escape. Here's our drive home from Tahoe at about 10:00 am...

Thankfully the smoke didn't blow in until just before we were leaving, so we had a pretty smoke-free vacation until the end. Whew! Good times. =)

We're getting a puppy! Well, we've done everything on our end, and now we just have to wait for him to turn 8 weeks and get "shipped" to us from MO. He's an adorable little pure-bred lemon beagle...smaller than normal and more chill than normal. We don't have a name for him yet (but we do have some ideas), so your suggestions are very welcome! Here are some pics of him at 5 weeks:
