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.

The CRAZY Gang!!

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!!!!

Viva Sanchez!!!!

Yesterday Joe and I went to the USC/Oregon game. We were really excited to get to our first home game...FINALLY!!! We headed out early to avoid the traffic and make sure we got a good parking spot. We were shocked at how empty the place was! I guess the potential rain and the Dodger game kept a lot of people away. We met up, like usual, with my former boss, Dave and his son. We went out to the football practice field and played some football. We also had a blast attempting to kick field goals. It was a lot of fun but pretty hard!! I made one from 30 yards out and one at the normal extra point spot. Joe made one too! I have a new respect for the kickers. It is pretty hard!!!!







We then went to the bookstore. I was in search for a "Sanchez" jersey and Joe wanted to get a new hat and jacket. I found my jersey and was SOOO excited!! I have to represent my hometown of Mission Viejo!!! Joe got a pretty sweet jacket! When we were walking out to go get something to eat, we noticed all the football players wearing the same jacket that Joe bought. He thought he was pretty cool and said he was going to try and sneak on the bus with the team!!!





We then headed to the Coliseum early to watch the team warm up. We hung out for about an hour in the front row by the end zone. It was a lot of fun watching. It is a totally different perspective watching from that close up. I was shocked at how high those kickers kick the ball. I wanted to jump on the field and show those kickers what I was made of...and that I can kick with both feet!!!






I have found Heather's future husband!! His name is Jordan Cameron, a transfer from BYU!!!




Pete Carroll's son is one of his coaches. They play catch before each game. Nothing like getting paid $4 million to play catch with your son every Saturday!!!















Mark Sanchez kept staring at me!!!!



We then headed to our seats. We were 17 rows up right behind the field goal in the end zone. It was a great game and we even got a little rain. Luckily we bought some ponchos at the bookstore!!! USC won 44-10!!












Mark got hurt towards the end of the game, but he came back for a few more plays.







We listened to the Dodger game on the way home and caught the last two innings on TV. Joe was soo excited that they swept the series!!! It has been 20 years since they had won in the post season! Hopefully they will keep up this streak and win the World Series!!! Go Dodger Blue!!!


Joe letting me know his team is #1!!!

Terrific Thursday...

Tonight is the BEST night of TV...First-USC vs Oregon St., Second-The Office and Third-Survivor Gabon!!! I can't wait for the new season of The Office. Team Jim and Pam!!!!!!

Home Sweet Home

Today was the day we have all been waiting for......Lisa and the kids are finally here to stay!!! Dave found a job a couple of weeks ago, so Lisa packed up the kids and flew from Calgary today. I can't believe that they moved back!!! I finally got to hold my new, cute nephew Brady. He is such a cutie!!! Audrey and Carter are both soo big now and I can't wait to hang out with them all the time.

Lisa said the first thing she wants to do is go to the beach and then to go and get Disneyland passes!!! YEAH!!! I finally have someone to go to Disneyland who loves it as much as I do!!!!! Joe and Dave are glad we have each other too so they don't have to go all the time!!!!!













Audrey and Carter were sooo happy to see their dad!! They have been away from each other for 6 weeks!! It was sure cute to see how happy they were. Dave brought roses for Lisa and Audrey and Carter got an Angels hat!!!

Now they just need to find a house...4 bedrooms, an office, 2000 sq ft, oh and Audrey wants it in a cold-a-sac!!!! Know of one??
