Wine

I should have poured myself a glass of this wine.

Sums it up.

How dare I actually serve cake for my son's Birthday!

This kid doesn't like sweets.

2 Turkey Days and a Birthday

Last week went so fast. I felt like we had just arrived in San Diego and we were already driving home.

We had 2 Thanksgivings and it was great to see both sides of the family.

We celebrated Turkey Day on our side at my brother's house. I couldn't believe he offered to host it this year. I am so proud of the both of them. W&K did an awesome job. I can't believe what a clean house my brother lives in...well I can because he is married. Nothing like those UCSB days!

We also celebrated D's 2nd birthday during our Friday Thanksgiving. It was fun but next time I will not try to do 2 celebrations in one day. The kids were exhausted both were fighting over toys, D was mad because I bought cake (he would much rather enjoy a nice ripe tomato) and the present opening was too late in the evening. Let's just say "done." I could tell it was going to be a long 6 hour car ride back to AZ.

Rare moments

The stars and the Moon must be aligned today.

The boys have been playing store, bakery and building car houses all morning long. It is rare moments like this that they actually play nicely together. Dylan is at an age where he doesn't mind being "bossed" around. He just follows Ty around and does what he does. And for the first time T is not getting annoyed by it!

The pressure is on.

Paul and I signed up for the Anthem Holiday Sprint Triathlon. This will be my third tri and Paul's first. I am so glad he is doing this with me. It's great to have a partner during all this training and it's even more fun that he gets to share in the excitement of crossing that finish line with me.

Does anyone care to make a bet on who has the better time?

RV-ing, Ruins and Riding

 

 

 

What a great Fall weekend in Northern Arizona.

We camped this weekend at an RV park near Cornville. The campground had a bunch of cool activities for the kids since it was Halloween. Sadly this Mom of the Year forgot costumes and pumpkins so they couldn't participate in the majority of them.

We did see some amazing Ancient Indian rock art and a few cliff dwellings. The Fall colors were just beautiful too.

I also got in a 20 mile bike ride up to Sedona. The views of the Red Rocks were breath-taking.
