we're off



So you probably thought we were already away on vacation or something, due to my lack of blogging. But we haven't gone anywhere...I have just been lazy, too busy doing other things, and just never sat down to post. And now we are off to Vegas with my family to spend Thanksgiving. We are SO excited to get away...it has been a long time since we have gone anywhere and it will be fun just relaxing and hanging out with family. Taylor and Jack have not seen each other for months and Taylor can do so much now that Jack and her will have a blast.

This is what we plan on doing:

*eating out for our feast at Ritz Carlton at Lake Las Vegas
*maybe seeing Twlight(yes I didn't rush out the midnight shows...never been that big of a fan)
*golfing for the boys
*lounging around
*shopping for the ladies
*lots of play time for the kids
*maybe some swimming at the hotel
*eating at In 'n' Out and Capriotti's (our favorites)
*and what ever else we think of, basically just some good family time


And being the holiday of thanks I have to share some of the things I am grateful for:

*my husband, best friend, and partner
*our sweet girl, taylor
*my supportive family
*my great in-laws
*a beautiful place to live in
*the Lord
*my faith
*my health
*the chance to be a stay at home mom
*friends near and far
*my education

There are so many more things I am thankful for, but my list could go on forever. We will be back next week and start preparing for the arrival of Connie and Phil! We are very excited for them to come home(but that means we have to give the house back:( but we are more excited for them to meet Taylor...we just know they are going to love her.

Until then...Happy Thanksgiving and travel safe!

um, you didn't single me out as your beautiful, favorite older sister. you should be grateful for me otherwise family vacations and holiday's would fall apart. and no one would talk to each other.
