Thanksgiving 2012 was so busy and so fun. The last few years we have been spoiled rotten and had two Thanksgiving dinners. One in San Diego with Paul’s relatives on the actual day, and then one at my mom’s house in So Utah over the weekend. The biggest downfall of having two Thanksgivings? All. That.…

Road Trip + Wedding + The City
OK, I’m pretty sure this was our last trip to San Francisco for the year! It did not disappoint. As I mentioned before, Stevie’s behavior was… rough. And we were frustrated. But also so grateful that we had Paul’s sister with us as our weekend nanny. She watched Stevie so we could just go do some…
A Moment in Sonoma
We just got back from a trip to San Francisco (more about that later). But I had to share a moment with you. This moment. I know he looks like a walking pro/sexy model. He is neither of those things. Yet. But to see him walking (stumbling) hand in hand with his Baba. Then…
San Francisco
I just got home from a trip to Northern California and I haven’t blogged about this one yet! Plus we have another trip to San Fran in about 3 weeks. We’ll see how soon I get around to that one. Anyway, this is wrapping up the stay-cation I’ve been going on & on & on…
The 7 Stages of Road Trip Grief
Whenever I drive to Southern Utah, I have to take into account the LA —-> Vegas traffic. (Or vice versa.) Oh, it is the worst. What normally takes 6 hours can take 9. If at all possible, I avoid driving there on a Friday and driving home on a Sunday. It WILL take forever. Unfortunately,…
Utah Trip
It started and ended in St. George with a little Salt Lake City in between. There were good times. There were times when the kids were tired and grumpy and I thought they were trying to ruin my vacation. But mostly, there were good times. It was fun to spend some time with my sister…
And...Christmas!
It was lovely. Enjoyed everything about it. It went by too fast. We have one more Christmas party, New Years and BAM, the holidays are done. 🙁
Grateful
This Thanksgiving was so much fun, I honestly forgot to take time and reflect on all I was thankful for. Lame! But I guess I can say I’m really thankful for these good times! They help pull me through what I have called a “rough year”. Of course, every year has its own challenges, but…
Swimming Pools and Cheese & Crackers
Those were my favorite things from our weekend getaway. We took a quick trip to Palm Springs. We reserved our hotel at the last minute and decided to just GO! It was the only weekend we had available before Stephen’s big surgery in October, so we had to jump on it. Palm Springs is hot.…
Road Trip
We had a plan. My husband got 2 weeks off from work. We were gonna go to Southern Utah to visit the family for the weekend and then spend (at least) one night in Vegas so we could take advantage of the warm weather lounging by a fabulous pool. Our plans changed. The season premier…
