Way To Go Cougars!!!

We went to the BYU game today and I have to say that it was the funnest game that we have ever been to! The weather was perfect and there was plenty of energy in the air! The tickets B got us were up pretty high by alot of the Utah fans so, we enjoyed cheering extra loud just to tick them off. We met up with our friends Brandon and Errin there and enjoyed cheering on our Cougars! Despite all of the swearing and being pelted by plastic bottles and candy by the Utah fans, we had a fun time! We want to try to get season tickets next year! This win is a nice way to quiet all of the Ute fan for another year! Way to go Cougars!

A Fun Turkey Day!

I love Thanksgiving! We had a fun evening with B's family last night! We ate at his sister Kristen's house and visited with his family. We didn't get together with my family because it was the "Off Year" meaning everyone goes to their in-laws for dinner. It didn't really feel like Thanksgiving because I didn't see any of my family. My parents went out to see my sister Heidi in Los Angeles and my sisters had other plans. Oh well, we always have tons of Christmas parties with them. This is a wonderful time of year to reflect on all of the wonderful blessings that we have been blessed with. We definitely feel that our kids have been our biggest blessing in our lives! We are so grateful for every minute that we spend with them. We are so happy to have a wonderful family who support us in every way. We hope you had a wonderful holiday too!

Let's Go Cougars!

I don't know about all of you but, we are so excited for the big BYU vs. UTAH match up this Saturday! I got inspired to write about this today from my friend Errin, whose blog is all about BYU! Thanks Errin! This is going to be an awesome game! B got us some last minute tickets through BYU alumni and we can't wait to see our Cougars beat those Utes! So, let's all sing "Rise and shout the Cougars are out...." and support the Cougs as they rock Utes at Edwards stadium this Saturday! Go BYU!!!

I'm A Little Too Excited For Christmas!

Okay, don't laugh at me but I was too excited for Christmas that I hung up my Christmas lights already. I hope you know what I mean when I say that "I" hung them up! I stood on a tall ladder on the second to top step and hung them up one by one by myself. B said that he would have done it this weekend but, I knew that he really didn't want to do it. I didn't want to go another year without Christmas lights so, I did it all by myself. This is a pretty big deal because I have been married for 9 years and we have NEVER had Christmas lights on any of our homes! So, you can all see why this is such a big deal and that I had to post my accomplishment! B was so surprised when he got home from work! I think that he was more happy that he didn't have to do it. So ladies, if your hubby's are resistant to do it, do it yourself! How did I do? By the way there is only one other house in my neighborhood that has their lights on. I can't help it,

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

A Fun Weekend Together!


This past weekend we went to the mall on Friday and shopped and had dinner. Caleb had fun on the merry-go-round at the mall and playing in the "Dino" playzone. Then, on Saturday we went to Park City and shopped some more. We wanted to take advantage of the awesome weather before the cold and snow hits us. The kids love to be outside and play at the park at the outlets one last time! We don't have to always do planned and organized things all of the time. Sometimes the funnest things to do are to just be together!!!
I LOVE MY FAMILY!!!

Caleb the Baker

Friday, I was pleasently surprised to see my crazy little boy walk out of preschool dressed like a baker. He was so happy! I was glad that I had my camera in my purse so I could snatch a picture of this funny moment! He got in the car and told me that he wants to be a baker for Halloween next year. I'm glad that he is already excited enter the working class!

She Did It!!!

I haven't really had much to write about lately until now. Today I took the kids to the Discovery Gateway Museum. The kids had tons of fun playing with all of the fun interactive toys! We have a family pass there so I try to take them about once a month. They have a new robot exhibit that Caleb has been wanting to check out for a long time. They love it there! If you have never been there you have to go! The most surprising thing that happened there was how Izzy learned how to climb the stairs all by herself! She is 13 months and still isn't walking yet but, she has been trying to climb at least one step by herself and she hasn't been able to do it. I'm so glad that I had my camera with me to capture that moment! I'm such a proud mom!
Caleb loved playing with the remote control robot dog!
