The Ride Home From The Big Game

Setup: 9:00 at night. pitch dark outside. Presley asleep. I'm driving (Devin's tired, it's dark, and he just suffered from a bad loss = I'll take the wheel, move aside). 

(out of the blue)Paity: So dad, how was the game?

Dev: It was good.

Paity: So like who won?

Dev: Utah. BYU didn't do good.

Paity: A-huh dad, they're good.

Maybe next year Cougars, maybe next year!

They protected us from the crazy fans! It was fun going with my dad and family!

Let The Rivalry Begin!

Saturday is soon approaching, and that's right, it's the BYU/Utah game! You can start to feel a little bit of tension in the air and the rivalry begins! As you know, I married into the world's biggest BYU fans, but grew up going to U of U games with my dad since I was 8 years old. So I've had a little bit of an internal struggle these last few years deciding who to cheer for. I stood my ground for awhile, but after going to BYU games, watching BYU games, and traveling to BYU games, I must admit, I think I may be a BYU fan! (I feel like this is a bit like coming out of the closet) With that said, I do enjoy the whole rivalry thing so I helped my mom take a few things to Devin's parents and brothers yesterday. We took red balloons, red candy (hot tamales, kit kats, swedish fish, licorice& bag of red doritos) and we (I mean I) had some fun doing a little artwork on their car windows.

I love the idea of Leland driving around like this! It still makes me laugh!

He went to wash his car right when he made it home, I think he was humiliated!

Go Cougars!!

Rewind

For a little of 'History's sake' and because I often fall behind on blogging, I thought I'd post a few Halloween pics! This year we celebrated every ounce of Halloween!

First, the Halloween Party Nancy & Danny threw:

The funniest part was when Seth & Abbie showed up as polygamists too without anyone knowing! Thanks again Danny & Nancy!

 

Don't be jealous of these shoes! HOT, right?

Second, the Simpson Party! 

And low and behold, we weren't the only ones with the polygamist idea either!! (what are the odds of that?!!) Thanks Nate & Meri!

Third, the party my Aunt Sherri threw with my family and cousins! 

Thanks to Sherri for getting us all together! (shoot, no pictures!)

Fourth, thanks to the Sorenson family for letting us join in on their family party!

 They've basically adopted us. :) We had so much fun carving pumpkins and eating yummy food!

Last, but not Least . . . Halloween

Paityn chose to be a FAIRY this year, and Presley was a WITCH! We had fun walking around with the Sonnenbergs. Paityn and Kanyon are starting to be quite the experts at the whole candy thing. Presley and Scarlett will find out fast I'm sure!

The End.

Going Private

I've now debated back and forth about going private now for a year! I've been totally conflicted because I love blog surfing and love to see what people are up to. I Love this whole blogging thing! Who knew keeping in touch could be so fun!! (Hence why it's taken a year to decide) But I've decided I'd rather be safe than sorry, so because of that, yes, I'm going private just like everyone else at the moment.

So you know what to do next, leave me your e-mail address, then you can continue to be posted on our exciting life! jk

Oh, and don't be shy, say hi! I love finding other people's blogs...who knows I've probably looked on your blog too!

Let's see how close this turns out if/when we have a baby boy. Thanks Nancy!

My 4-year old big girl

Happy Birthday Paity-poo!

How time flies! Our little 6 lb 8 oz baby is now 40" tall and 35 lbs.

Paityn has always been a girl of many (big) words. Some of her favorite have been: sensible, fabulous, I'm coming my lady, splendid, and she'd use them ALL the time. It was almost like the word of the week!

Paityn loves: movies, playing with friends, singing, cousins, mac& cheese, chocolate (that's my girl!), BOOKS, her little sissy, dress up, "one soft & one hard taco" at Taco Bell, talking on the phone...

We can't imagine life without this little spunky, sassy, thoughful, intelligent little girl!
