Thanksgiving in Tucson!!

Thanksgiving this year was so much fun...it was the first time my whole entire family were together! We were there for a full week and had so much fun hanging out, eating tons of good food, running Sabino Canyon because of all the food, bowling, watching & going to the movies, shopping, and playing sequence..which I am still the SEQUENCE CHAMPION:) We had such a fun time...yes it was a full house..but so worth all the fun memories. I also saw a few of my old high school buddies and it was great catching up with them. It felt like just yesterday we were back in high school living it up:) It's always fun to see old friends!! Thanksgiving was such a great day we had fun at the turkey bowl, and Drew was my mom's second hand in the kitchen:) We ended the night with talking all the guys in to seeing New Moon. They loved it...and yes we made them watch Twilight before so that they were all caught up. When I asked Drew who he'd rather be after the movie Edward or Jacob he said "for sure Jacob to be a Wolf would be awesome." It was such a fun time thanks family!! Oh and did I mention how spoiled Brinley and Dylan were??? I bet you could guess!

Catalina Getaway & Triathlon

At the beginning of November we did a long day trip to Catalina Island...where do did a triathlon and did awesome!! For those of you that don't know this is Drew's new hobby besides golf. This was his second one and so far so good. I was suppose to do this one with him, but when Drew told me it was an open water swim in the ocean I thought twice about swimming with the Great White Sharks that are often spotted off the coast there. But when I got there it was an easy swim within the harbor that would of been fine for me....I guess next year I'm in. It was a fun time Drew's parents came with us to cheer Drew on and no one could of been prouder then Brinley!! Her face said it all everytime she spotted Drew:) She especially liked the yummy pizza feast afterwards and ice cream! At the end of the day we were exhausted, but still had enough energy to do a segway tour around the island. It was so worth it and really easy to ride! It was a long day, but so worth the adventure:) See you next year Catalina!!

Halloween Catch Up!!

Okay so way way behind...but hey at least it's getting done and this is probably more for me then anyone but here it goes....So for Halloween Brinley was Sleeping Beauty her favorite princess and Dylan was a turtle, which was perfect because all he could do at the time was crawl around with his shell on his back. We had a great time at our neighborhood potluck and trick or treating around the neighborhood...and then ended the night with a big screen movie out on the greenbelt with popcorn and lots of candy!! Brinley woke up the next morning to leave candy on all our neighbors doorsteps. I guess she wanted to give back:) It was the cutest thing...except the fact that later she tried to go back and collect it all! We had a great time and we're especially lucky to have Uncle Tanner and Aunt Lindsey with us this year!
