Our Vacation to Lake Tahoe

Overlooking Emerald Bay.

Hiking up to Eagle Lake.

While we were driving around Lake Tahoe we found a blue grass band playing music by the lake. It was so relaxing. There were some people hula hooping to the music!

Anna getting ready to go!

Our sixth anniversary was the same day as Father's Day. What a great first Father's Day for Nathan!

Everyone was exhausted after a day of travel and fun!

Beautiful Anna at Lake Tahoe

Anna ready for the drive around Lake Tahoe. It took us about 6 - 7 hours to drive around the whole Lake. We took lots of stops though!

Hiking around Fallen Leaf Lake. On the way back we saw a brown bear! Thankfully the bear was not interested in us! It was about 70 feet away from us and just kept walking through the woods.

Taking a little lunch break at the lake. What a beautiful place!

Of course it started raining as soon as we paid the parking fee! We were really glad we chanced it though. There were three beautiful lakes all next to each other. One of the lakes was surrounded by tall cliffs and you could rent little canoes. Too bad Anna can't swim, it would have been fun to go out on the lake!

Just hanging out and being content. This little gal is a great vacationer!

Family Time

We got to spend a few days with my family on our way home from Lake Tahoe.

Here is my mom helping Anna have a smooth ride in the car.

My dad with Anna.

My brother, Matt, with his daughter, Allikaye, and our Anna.


Triple A: Ashley, Allikaye and Anna. Ashley is my brother's wife and Allikaye is their adorable daughter. Our first niece!
My sister, Katie, also spent some time with us while we were visiting. I can't believe we didn't even get a picture of Anna and Katie together. We're so sorry Katie! We'll get tons when you come to visit.

Anna's very first time to In-N-Out...we're starting her out right! We stopped here in Sacramento as we were heading out of town and east to Lake Tahoe...more photos of our vacation to come!

Our Smiling Girl

This girl sure knows how to make our day!

Anna's Proud Parents

Nathan was scheduled to be gone for 5 days. Yay for the big storms that delayed one of his last flights of the day and he got to spend the night in Dallas! This is after we got home from picking him up at the airport.

Baby Shower in Clinton

The wonderful people in Clinton, OK, where Nathan grew up, gave us a baby shower for Anna. It was a great weekend with our family and friends in Clinton.

Hanging out at home

Anna's First Car Ride

Here is Anna's first car ride in the metroplex...SCARY!

She's Here!

Anna's sweet face

Our friend Angela Porter took the photos above as a baby shower gift. Anna arrived last week. She weighed in at 6 lbs, 12 oz and was 20 inches long. We are so blessed to have our sweet daughter here breathing air with us!

Anna either happy or gassy with Papa and Mama (we think she's happy!)

Almost There!

We can't wait for Anna to get here!

Erin and Nathan

Boomer loves Anna's toys!

Our friends Jeremy and Shari had some free tickets to the Dallas Stars Hockey game a couple of weeks ago, and they didn't want to go, so we got the tickets. They played the Kanuks from Canada, and lost. We had a good time, though...there sure were a lot of fights on the ice!

Colorado Baby Shower

Erin, Katie, and Lynn with a cake made out of diapers that Lynn made. Katie put this shower together, and it was so good for Erin to be able to celebrate with her friends and family in Colorado.

Leigh, Erin, and Tiffany at the baby shower

The view just across the southern border of Colorado...ah, the fresh mountain air!

Christmas 2008

We were in Colorado for Christmas this year...here is a photo of Lynn and Allie (our neice) jamming. Both are naturals!

Mom and Dad came down here to Texas to celebrate Christmas with us in January. It was great to see them, and we are so thankful that they made the long drive for such a short time here in Texas. We had a good time opening presents and then going for a walk around the pond. It's always good to have face to face time with those we love. Thanks to Mom and Dad Funk for coming down here for such a short trip!

Thanksgiving in Clinton

Here's the Funk Clan together in Clinton for Thanksgiving, 2008

The pups are ready for a walk in Clinton! We think this is the first time Penny's left the state of Texas. She did great!

Since this picture was taken, we've had to give Penny up because she was having potty issues in the house. Thankfully, our neighbors down the street took her in and it worked out great because they have all tile in their house. She's in a great home, and we still get to see her every few days when she goes for walks. We miss her, but we know it's for the best, especially with a baby on the way.
