Thanksgiving in AZ

The day after my LuLaRue party we loaded up the car and made our trip to Ty and Heidi's for Thanksgiving. Tyler was so kind and flew in Wes, so ReNea go to spend time with her hubby!:) YAY!! The drive there wasn't that bad. We had a great time driving fast, and then slowing down by the semi trucks and teaching the kids how to get them to honk their horns. The kids thought it was the greatest thing EVER, the LOVED it!! They watched movies, read books (Taelin took his most favorite book, POKEMON, he is OBSESSED now, and he just got it at the scholastic book fair), sang songs (frozen, wicked, Les Mis) and slept.  They did a really good job for how long it took us to get there.  We were SO happy to be out of the car when we got to their house!

Sleeping:)

Traffic....but we were almost there...we did a good job with our drive!

1 day after our work out at LA fitness (Tyler got ReNea a week free:) my tire was flat.......so not good!!!!!! Seriously I think I had angles watching over me, becasue as we were pulling out, a car pulled in and told me that I had a flat and said that they had a shop right behind LA fitness where they would look at it and replace it for me for FREE! Wow talk about KIND! They were motorcyclist. ...Dalin would have been very happy that they were the ones that helped me:)

 We went and had a picnic lunch at a park, while the boys went golfing.  We had a fun time feeding the ducks and walking around taking pictures:!)

Taelin was super tired after a hard day at golf!

Taelin became best buddies with Heidi's brother Chase....Taelin wanted to be EVERYWHERE he was and do EVERYTHING he did! You can tell that Taelin misses his daddy A LOT!

looking through the magazines to see what to get for the day after thanksgiving:) he's such a stud!

 Dalin's birthday was weird. I hated celebrating it without him.  And it was his GOLDEN birthday too!! The kids and I made him cards and sent them to him! We were happy that he was able to call us and talk to the entire family:) We sure do miss him and cannot wait for him to come home!
