To San Diego and back- in one day!

I think we set a new record. Sure, we have been to San Diego more times than we can count, but never there and back in one day. But, that is kind of how our family rolls, so we decided, why not?
 
Cade spent his money he had saved up to buy a ticket to the Broncos/Chargers game. He has grown up with Peyton Manning as his hero. Now was his chance to see him in action.
 
My dirty car...but at least we could show a little support for our favorite QB:)
 

We woke up at 6, and headed straight for the beach! We got there in the afternoon, and had a few hours to play. The weather was perfect, and the water was surprisingly warmer than it's ever been before. This was definitely our best beach trip ever!



We collected lots of seashells, and came home with a ton of them. I'm sure the kids will find something to create with them.




Football on the beach? Of course!






Haylee is my little tumbler. She is ALWAYS tumbling. The beach was no exception for her. She loved tumbling in the water. Love this talented little girl. I am going to blow these pictures up and hang them in her room- maybe in black and white?


 
 
After the beach, it was straight to Qualcomm stadium for the game. I dropped the boys off, and the rest of us went back to Bryce's brother Darren's house for dinner and some more play time in their beautiful backyard. So grateful to them for hosting us for a few hours:)



The boys loved their seats. They were in the family section, so no smoking or alcohol. Perfect! They were ready to leave at half time, because Broncos were getting blown out! Thankfully they stayed, it was Peyton Manning's biggest comeback of his career. Needless to say, the boys were so glad they were there to witness it! We left to come home once the game was over. We made it home by 2am, and the kids were so good during the entire trip. Plus, the kids, and Bryce, all made it to school on time today. Monday Night Football...Success!!

Haylee's 9th B-day!


Grandma Jenkins came in town to celebrate! We went out to dinner, and the kids loved the dessert:)


Then, a few days later, we had her party. It was Halloween themed this year- so fun! We played Halloween bingo, the girls all made masks, and decorated skeleton cupcakes. They had a blast, and it was 2 straight hours of girlie screams and giggles, and all out laughter. I wouldn't expect anything else from this cute group of girls:)







*Lovin' Aggies Football*

This season has been a fun one so far! They are 5-0. Cade plays for the Arbor View High School Jr. Aggies as the QB. He has had a really good season, and with only 3 games left, I hope they finish just as strong!
 


Cade's best friend Allen is on the team too. It's been fun to hang out together at the practices and games, but they are moving soon to Ohio, and we are all so bummed:( At least they got this season together on the team though.

Our annual Back to School dinner- complete with balloons and their own white boards to color on. So glad I had Kendal home with me to help me shop and decorate. What am I going to do next year with all of the kids in school?







We are looking forward to another great year! We love Bilbray, hopefully middle school wont be too bad either:)
