Thanksgiving Weekend

Here are some of the things we've been up to...

1. Wednesday afternoon I Baked a gazillion Rolls (two batches worth). Since I doubled the batch, the dough got all weird on me, but thankfully they still turned out delish. I also made 2 pumpkin pies and I've now determined that pie crusts are my least favorite thing to make. They turned out as well, but seriously all the headache that goes into forming them just right...
2. Thanksgiving was fun. We spent it with the In-Laws this year. Everything was very yummy and we got to enjoy left overs that lasted throughout the whole weekend.
3. Thursday evening, Bryan and I went hiking in the Superstition Mountains with Brandon (Bryan's Bro). We had a good time. It was totally cold though since I forgot my jacket.
4. Thursday night Natalie (Bryan's littlest sister who is 9) spent the night at our house. We finally got to make use of Tate's bunk bed. She entertained Tate the majority of the time. They played with Tate's train set a lot.
5. That night Bryan and I stayed up late watching Bourne Identity. We watched Bourne Supremacy Friday night, and Bourne Ultimatum Saturday night. I never get tired of them! Bryan on the other hand, well he is just nice to watch them with me:)
6. Bryan's Mom watched Tate Friday afternoon and he stayed the night over at their house. He got to play with Aunt Raette's dogs (Sophie and Bugsie). Tate even talked Aunt Raette into doing his hair just like Sophie's (in a little ponytail)
7. Bryan and I got to check out the huge Mervyn's sale and we ended up getting a few things including some Christmas gifts.
8. Saturday morning Bryan went Mountain Biking while I went and did a few things that I needed to do,including going shopping some more. Bryan and Tate went shooting later that day with all of the boys in my family. Tate got to shoot a gun for his first time (It was a BB gun).
9. Bryan and Tate played "the tank game" in Wii Play a lot and Bryan made it to 62 points so he was really happy.
10. Sunday we went to church and just hung out at the house. It was our 8 year anniversary from when we got engaged. I tried to talk Bryan into going to the Temple grounds but that didn't quite happen. Tate didn't take a nap and ended up going to bed early anyways.
11. Today Bryan had to go back to work:( He's doing a pool remodel out in Gold Canyon.
12. I woke up really early this morning before Bryan left and went jogging. It's been awhile since I've ran and it felt really good.
13. Tate and I braved it this afternoon and went swimming in the apartment pools. Swimming felt great, the water was warm, it was getting out and driving home that was the way cold part. It was worth it though, we'll definitely do it again. Anyone want to come with us next time?
14. We also went to the library and checked out some books. Tate loves looking for the bar code and scanning them himself.
15. I forgot to take very many pictures this weekend. Not quite sure if that was on accident though. Sometimes it's nice to just sit back and enjoy.

Tomorrow is back to the housework for me, laundry and dishes are slacking while I've been partying.
