San Fransico Trip
Alex and I went away for the weekend to San Fransico. We left the kids with my parents and we had such a great time! It was great to be together--just the two of us! We were able to meet up with some old friends while there. We went to Tiffany and John's to meet their twins and remember old times and then we were off to see Brett and Kathryn for dinner. We had such a great time, laughing and remembering our days in Glendale together. We rented bikes and biked all around the city, across the Golden Gate Bridge and into the city of Sausalito. What a great city! Then we were off to Alcatraz, which was the favorite of Alex's. It was super interesting and there are a couple inmates still missing (which made it all the more creepy and exciting). We had fun doing some shopping in that great city of shopping. I've never seen such a HUGE Old Navy! It was fun to have all the high fashion stores together with chain stores so we could mingle in and out of whatever. Our last dinner was a recommendation from Alex's sister Courtney. She said we HAD to go to Tomasos's. This is a little restaurant in the strip-club area of town ( a little sketchy). It ended up being the most fun ever. We were told by the hostess that you have to try their pizza and lasagna (what they are famous for)--she was right...the best pizza we have ever had. We even met some people there and we ended up sharing food with them. Too funny! It was a great trip. We loved every bit of it and can't wait to get back.

WE'RE IN A HOT ZONE!
Last night Alex and I came home from a fun YW Board Christmas party and all was okay until Megan came down at 11pm... she had thrown up all over her bed. I went up to clean it up and put her in the guest bed and then went to bed. I started to feel sick and didn't know if it just had to do with the smell and clean up of her throw up but NO, it turns out I really was sick. Pretty soon, she came in again to inform me she threw up again on the guest bed (she missed the bowl...entirely). Next thing I know Alex is up throwing up. Poor Megan got hit the hardest, she threw up the entire night. We ran out of clean beds so we made her a bed on my bedroom floor and so we had the fun opportunity to hear every single time she threw up. Anyway, we all stayed home today and I'm hoping we'll be better tomorrow. Chase and Zach had flu shots and seem to be doing okay. (I guess there's something to be said about getting one of those flu shots!)
Oh, by the way Zach peed in his bed last night so pretty much I have tons of sheets to do yet don't have one ounce of energy to do it. The joys of motherhood!

TAGGED !!
Well I guess my time is up, I've been tagged with this particular tag by Rebecca, Kelly and now Jessica...so I'm goin' for it.
RULES:
1. List the link to your tagger and also post these following rules.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog - some random, some weird, etc.
3. Tag 7 people at the the end of your blog also leaving the links to their blogs
4. Let them know they are "TAGGED" by leaving a comment on their blog
THE FACTS...strange or not ~
1. I used to talk in my sleep and I've been sleepwalking on an occasion. I would wake up doing some really random things. The absolute worst was one time I began to climb on a dresser near my bed and then whole thing fell over--including the fish bowl. It was such a mess. I always wonder what could I've been trying to do--climb Mt. Everst!
2. I've been known as the "capital queen". That is someone who knows all 50 states capitals. Impressive, I know. Although, I don't think I can claim to be "capital queen" anymore.
3. I LOVE cookie dough and really any kind of dough (cake batter, brownies, banana bread, you name it and I'll at least give it a try)! I think I may love the cookie dough more than the actual cookie, either that or I'm so stuffed on cookie dough I can't bear to eat one more thing.
4. Once when I was younger I got busted for riding on my 16 yr old neighbors new moped and I hid in a closet (don't ask why). I guess I got tired in there and fell asleep under some blankets, my parents started looking for me and searched everywhere calling my name but I didn't hear them and they ended up calling the police. Eventually one of their friends (who came to help look for me) started going through the blankets in the closet and found me there asleep. I think my parents were both happy to see me alive yet so stinkin' mad they could barely talk to me.
5. My dream vacation is to go on an African safari. I think that would be so awesome!
6. I never remember meeting Alex for the first time. We grew up together and he's always been a part of my life. He's seen me though all the stages of life, including the dorky, awkard junior high stage.
7. I've never colored or bleached my hair. One time (about 5 years ago) I tried to add a few highlights and not one person noticed...therefore I figured I'll save my money and use it on something else...like shoes.
Okay, so I don't know who has done this or not but I don't think I've seen this tag by Annalee, Julie, or Jenny! So I'd love to see what you have to say!

Way to go Alex!!
Zach & Chase waiting for dad 
After the 26.2 miles
We returned home from our weekend trip to St. George where Alex ran in the marathon there. This is his 3rd time running this race. He had his best time ever at 3:46:18. He had a pretty good run (except for some stomach problems in the middle of the race), the weather was perfect and he was able to run with his friend, Cory until mile 17. We all had a good time cheering on the runners! Brad and Kelly (Quinn, Ansley and Holden) came with us and we had a lot of fun, as we always do when we're together. It was a quick trip but we did find time for Cafe Rio and to take the kids to see the temple.
