The "Heyman" Get Together...

Last weekend we went to Arizona for our cousin, Curtis' wedding. He married the most beautiful girl named Candace. Lisa, Heather, Audrey, Carter, Brady and myself all drove together and my mom and dad went their own car. The drive wasn't too bad. We got to Chandler around 6 in time for the dinner at the Heyman home. It was a lot of fun seeing everyone. It was especially fun for the kids. Audrey was really excited to play with Lilly and Lizzy! We also got to see Shauna, Jaden and Bradli!! Bradli has gotten so big and she has to cutest, biggest cheeks!!!!

I stayed with my Aunt Barb and Eric. Shauna and the kids stayed with Steven and Lori. Lisa and the kids stayed with Jonathon, Carolina, Lilly and Lizzy. Saturday morning we all met for breakfast at this place called Wildflower. It reminded me of a mix between Panera and Corner Bakery...but BETTER!! You should have seen the pastries!!! The kids had fun running around and playing with Jonathon.

We then headed to Jonathon's to watch the USC/ASU game. I was the lone USC fan. Jonathon and Eric are HUGE ASU fans. They even have season tickets. Well, the game turned out GREAT for me and AWFUL for them. ASU didn't even score a point!! I brought them some pins to wear during the game, but they didn't think they were too funny!! So, the kids wore them instead. After the game we played some Wii Olympic games until everyone fell asleep and woke up just in time for the reception!

We then headed to the reception. It was at the most beautiful and ENORMOUS home I have ever seen. When you walked up the driveway, it felt like you were going to a villa in France. It was amazing!! The backyard was huge!!! There was an organ in the front room!! There was a pool outside that was amazing and this neat walkway that kind of looked like a tunnel of vines! It was really cold and we were not prepared for that kind of weather!!! Curtis had the cutest idea of the car they left in that night. It was a little buggy. Curtis calls Candace "C-Bug", so it was perfect!! They looked so happy and so cute together!!!

I ended up sleeping over with Lisa because we had to leave early Sunday morning. The drive seemed a lot longer going home, but the kids were great. Shauna and the kids drove home with my parents and are staying with them until November 2nd!!


The final sleep over


Brady was such a good traveler!!

Dave and Joe ended up not going because they weren't going to be able to leave until really late Friday night. I hooked them up with some really sweet seats for the USC/ASU game. It was Dave's first experience going to a USC game, so Joe gave him the full experience. They frist headed to the practice field to kick some field goals. Then they went to the bookstore and got some new gear. Then they went to check out the Heisman trophies and listened to the band play and then followed the band to the collesium. It was a great game for them! Afterwards, Joe introduced Dave to King Taco!! Dave LOVED it!!! I am really scared of that place....it's not too comforting walking into a taco place where there is a security guard with a gun!!???? Then they stayed up all night and played Rock Band. It was a PERFECT weekend for the boys!!!!
