we love san fran - saturday

It was pretty fun having the Dalton's in San Fran

seeing the sights with us! Saturday we headed

to the Golden Gait Bridge, Fort Point, the beach 

and Fisherman's Wharf! Later that night we drove

across the bridge and the kids thought it was cool!

It was chilly and breezy but we survived...

Our motel was only a few blocks away so

that was nice being able to walk and not deal

with parking or the bus!!! We got our exercise in!!!

mas is still impacted by the guy that jumped
off the bridge last year when we were here!!

christmas came early...

When Brooklin won the punt, pass and kick

we told the kids that the vacation would

be part of their Christmas! I'd much

rather go somewhere fun than just

buy junk for them anyways!!!

We had a mini Christmas on Wed night

before we left on Friday!!

The kids were in need of new shoes,

levis, a sweatshirt and some 49er gear!

They were also thrilled about their 

new headphones to use on the plane!

I had to work half a day on Friday so

we didn't fly out until 4 pm.

It was raining when we arrived in San Fran so

we checked into our motel and headed to

one of our favorite places to eat, Barney's!

during take off!

big ole chicken sandwich!

you'll shoot your eye out!

Saturday afternoon we headed out 

with the Lee's and Tanners to shoot

clays and have a friendly competition 

with the guns!!!

Needless to say, I really stink at shooting

and didn't hit one clay :(

The kids had fun shooting the bb gun

and I think the winners were Troy and Nick!

Thanks for a fun day!!!

that's the face of i missed the damn clay!!!

black friday...

My favorite day of the year just

isn't as fun as it use to be!

I headed out Thursday night,

stopped at Beall's in Mesquite before

 heading to Vegas - I made it down

there by 9:30. I hit Target and Kohl's

and then went to Becky's to sleep around

1:30am. I slept til 8 and then visited with

Becky and Jim for a little bit and headed

back out at 10 and didn't get home till

9:30 Friday night!!! I met up with

Andrea, Collette and Mindy for dinner...

I wasn't really after anything but 

I couldn't sit home on black friday!

I would call it a success!!!!

I missed my sidekick :(

my fav stop with my fav drink!!!

Brooklin stayed up at my mom's and 

they headed over to the Santa's Workshop.

She was able to visit with Santa and 

let him know she was wanting an 

art set for Christmas!!!

gobble gobble...

First thing Thanksgiving morning, I somehow got
talked into doing a 5K in St. George!
We didn't consider the time difference when we
signed up so 5:30am came very early.
But it was a fun race despite the coldy
weather - Shannon ran the 10K so I ran
with Coach Creer and some of her
family that had signed up!
I was happy, I beat my last time by 2 mins
so I ended up running it in 34 mins -
for not being a runner, I was thrilled with that!

We did Thanksgiving a little different this

year but  I loved it and would do it again!

We had our dinner a few weeks ago when 

everyone was together so we went 4 wheeling 

with my parents and ate turkey sandwiches!

We found a fun little place out in Washington

to go - Fort Pierce and found some dinosaur

tracks. We found some good hills to play

on and our lunch spot was awesome!!!

It was the perfect weather to be outside

and with the people I'm thankful for...
