Leading up to Christmas

Some things we did:

Glittering Lights at the Speedway

Night walk on a Light treasure hunt

Gingerbread houses (we’ve been busy and a bought my first “kit” ever...  it was simple but the kids still loved it) 

Snowman dice game 

Candlelight Ceremony

The Giving Machine and Family Pizza Lunch Date 

Jaiden turns 15

I just can not believe it!!  I love watching you grow Jai, but hate it too!!

You have been so crazy busy with school and basketball, and now Electra’s Cincenta practices..you made night plans with friends but when I asked if you wanted to go out to eat for breakfast or lunch, you just wanted me to cook and you relax in the day.

Later in the night your friends came over and we dropped you at Downtown summerlin.   Me kade and dad walked around and shopped (rylan went to a friend Chloe’s bday party)

You guys needed up getting bored and asked to do the ice skating down there..  I’m glad you did cause you had a blast!!!

We love you Jaiden Jesse and are so proud of you!!

Cal Air Christmas Party

We did Top Golf and Texas De Brazil this year.

Yummy and Fun!

Hans Klok

Alisha got free tickets to Hans Klok and gave 2 to Pete and I. 

It’s been a long time since I took just Jai out and Pete didn’t care to go to the show so...   

We made a date of it.   She also gave my parents 2 soerately and we decided to do the show together but not dinner (so I could have the one on one with my boy) 

We had to cancel 1 night because of Jaidens crazy basketball schedule and his next free night my dad wasn’t free. So my mom invited my Grandma 

Jaiden chose sushi of course and I loved my time with him.  Then we linked up at Excalibur for the show. 

He is know as the fastest magician and he really is INSANE.   It was a good fun show and Jaiden liked it a lot.

Thanks Alisha for a fun night!!! 

Too Quick Trip to Arizona

We had a super quick and busy trip to Arizona.

The boys had a basketball tournament in Arizona..  we rarely sign them up for travel games but since Sheree and Adam live in Arizona we figured we make a fun trip out of it. 

Because we know basketball tournaments can take up the entire day..  we planned to take off work and School Friday and see Jacob at ASU also... well... that backfired. Rylan had a game and Jaiden had practice (which the coaches hate even a missed practice).   So instead..  I left work early, took and nap and prepped for a late night drive. 

We left town at 7:30p on Friday and with the 1 hr time change..: arrived at 1:40am Pete and the boys left in the morning for basketball and me and Kadence spent the day with the Greens. We hit the zoo...  which I have been dying to go to a real zoo for a few years now. We decided last minute and went for a few hours. We headed back to shower quick to head to Sheree’s work Christmas Party.

The girls went to the neighborhood park and Pete and the boys got back late.

After the work party we came home and drove to a nearby decked out neighborhood to check out the lights! 

We stayed up late talking and laughing. 

The next morning we were up early packing up to go to lore basketball.. we played 3 more games but were 1 hr from the house (on the way home) 

We were to go to but had lots of fun. 

I wished we could have seen Jacob and maybe Grandma and Grandpa..  hopefully our next trip will be longer.
