We had a blast at this years Newport Beach boat Parade. It was cold but we bundled up and had hot chocolate. We went with my side of the family and had a good time. Coby and cousin Ethan played in the sand while, Paige snuggled with mommy and Sydney slept in the stroller. We saw our friends the, Weavers, synders, Macs, and Knights there. It was great to chat. We did however, miss the good part of the boat parade. It came by as we were leaving. Next year we need to time it better. Hopefully we will remember.

I haven't posted in awhile so here is our Thanksgiving pics. We had Aaron's family this year and we had a blast. THe food was great and the company was even better. Aaron's uncle just got a new custom bike made by Jesse James. It cost about 125,000.00 dollars and he actually let aaron take it for a spin!!! Aaron had so much fun but was sooo nervous about doing something to the bike. All in all thanksgiving was awesome.

Thanksgiving

Michelle and I got tickets to see "Dancing with the Stars" last Tuesday night. We were so excited. We spent the afternoon getting ready making sure we were dressed our best. Then on the freeway we hopped...and stoppped. It ended up taking us two hours to get there. We left at 2:30 and were at the front gates at 4:30pm. Needless to say, after waiting for only about an hour it was clear we were not going to get in. So we were really bummed, but the studio was right next to the grove so we took a walk and looked at the shops then ate dinner at cheesecake factory. We had great seats outside overlooking the street. It was awesome when it started to "snow". After our dinner we headed home full and happy. It then took us an hour and a half to get home because for some reason we got lost coming home and ended up doing circles somewhere between Cypress and beuna Park. It was the craziest night. We felt like we were in the "Twilight Zone". But I did have fun...hope Michelle did too. Maybe next year we will get tickets and we will leave very, very early!!

My sister, mom and I decided to have a girls weekend up in Park City. It was so much fun. It was the first time Michelle was away from Ethan and she did great. It was my first time away from the girls but I was fine. I was just so happy to SLEEP!!! I love my kids but three is a lot of work and I really, really, needed some ME time. We relaxed, played games, laughed, talked and ate!!! It really was the best time ever. We've decided to do this once a year. It's good for us to get away and be with each other. It keeps our realationship strong. Aaron did great with the girls. The first day I called him he said " this isn't bad at all. I'll stay home if you want to work". But by the next day his tune had changed and he said he was "very grateful for me". Now I feel refreshed and ready to "hit the ground running". Life is good!!!

Coby and Aaron decided to hike up to the "Y". I thought Coby wouldn't get too tired but he loved it. Though they did have to run down the hill because a fast rain rolled in.
