The rest of our Thanksgiving Weekend!

First off I have to thank my sister Shannon and my niece Gabby for watching the kids so Clint and I could have a fun weekend together. After Clint's Triathlon we drove straight through to Vegas. We had a great time. We ate tons of great food, shopped till we dropped (fyi:Vegas is a great place to be on black Friday!), saw Phantom of the Opera (which was nothing short of AMAZING) and a Cirque du Soleil, and did all the touristy stuff (even though we have been there quite a few times before). It was a great weekend with some much needed time alone. It was our 1st time going anywhere without kids!

M&M Factory. Yumm look at all that chocolate!
Coca Cola: It was pretty cool, it has everything coca cola. Below is a sample of the popular coke drinks around the world to sample. The one from Italy was horrible, tasted just like cough syrup. What are they thinking over there?

The Hotels in Vegas always have awesome holiday decorations.

Thanksgiving Morning

Early Thanksgiving Morning Clint did another Triathlon in Goodyear, AZ. It was a lot of fun and despite the cold and wet weather they had a huge turnout. Clint did a really great job and got 2nd place in his division!

Transition (not sure if this is to go bike or swim)

Finally done! The look on his face describes exactly how he felt.

Roping in Laughlin

The weekend before Thanksgiving we went to Laughlin for 4 days for Clint to rope and to just hang out. It was a lot of fun!

Little Man Suit

Who doesn't love a little boy dressed up in a suit? He is soo cute! He didn't like it at first but once I gave him something to hold to take his mind off the new "outfit" he let me take a few pictures without crying.

Playground

Okay so this was about a month ago, which means that once again I am behind on updating my blog. Oh well, better late than never I guess. Back in November we had a playset put in for the kids and they LOVE it. Tacey is constantly begging to go play on her "playground". She is so funny, it took about 5 hours for them to install this thing (seriously it is ridiculously huge, I had no idea, good thing we have acreage) but the entire time they were here putting it in she kept asking me "where is Cash's playground?" She thought it was for her and not her brother, guess she isn't very good at sharing. Luckily her and Cash love to play on it together and I am happy to have tired kids when they come inside!

20's for one more year

Happy Birthday Clint! Yesterday was his 29th birthday. We were able to spend the day with his family, go to one of Clint's favorite restaurants and he even got to go to the movies. Guess you can't ask much more than that!!
