Utah Game

Rivalry always makes the best games. My family recently started tailgating to every game before. So we left Kaysville at 1:00 and headed up to Salt Lake for the big Utah BYU game. It was a perfect day, the sun was shinning and there was just a slight breeze. We enjoyed some nice hot dogs and our own game of football before the game. Then it all started, for those of you who watched the game the first three quarters were really involved. It was back and forth scoring and you could tell both teams were fighting til the end. The last quarter something happened to our Rivals and they were throwing interceptions like crazy. We caught 4 or 5 interceptions and 1 fumble in one quarter. It was insane. The Utes ended up dominating and scored 48 to 24 and we doubled their score. What a win! Right after the game they rewarded the Utes for winning the Mountain West Conference, and we got bumped to be ranked number 6 in the nation! My family is stoked and cant wait for the BCS bowl game. We are all crossing our fingers they will go to the fiesta bowl so we can go again. If not my dad is already planning the drive to the other games! I guess you could say we are die hard fans!!

Sunday we had our good friends Alders over and watched the starting show of 24! I forgot how much i love this show. This season looks to be the best one they have ever done. There are going a whole different direction on this show, and now im just waiting for January to hit and the season begins.

I am so excited for Thanksgiving to be here so i can set up our first Christmas Tree. This is going to be a different Christmas for me but i am so excited for the snow and christmas lights, the music, and hot chocolate!! Anyways Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!

After the game all the fans rushed the field

We love our team!!

Weekend!

This weekend we had our Big Warehouse Sale. It turned out to be a great success! I did most of the Marketing and Advertising with the sale and i was shocked how many people heard about it and how many people showed up. It definitely sucked to work over the weekend long hours and on your feet all day long but it was great to get all the product out of our warehouse to make room for the new stuff coming in the next couple of weeks. I thought I would be at work on Saturday but other employees took the slack and i had the day off. I some how ended up helping my mom and little sisters clean out the basement and go through old boxes. It was so funny to see all the old stuff we collected over the years. By the time we were finished the garbages were over flowing and we still have 4 days until Garbage day so lucky Kylie had to jump in and pack it all down so we could get the rest in. It was so funny to see her so grossed out and all girly. Here are some pictures.

"Queen of the Garbage" Is what Kylie Said


Gross!!!!

Saturday night we went out for Aaron's Birthday. We went to Prarie Scooner I have heard so much about it so i was so excited. The company was great and we had a good time, except the food was not that great at all. We were kinda disappointed.

Sunday Chris (Jake's Mom) asked us to help teach her Relief Society Lesson. It was on Joseph Smith and the letters he wrote to Emma while he was away. She put it together like a play so i was Emma and Jake was Joseph. It definately helped build my testimony for them. It is amazing to hear of the strenght they both had to be apart for all that time and still be able to accomplish all that they had. It is a true miracle. After we had dinner with the Shaws and then played games with my family. It was a great weekend!

I had put in some extra hours over the week so was able to have Monday off. We had our family pictures which we will get the proofs on Saturday so i will post some pics then. We are excited for the Utah game Saturday. Go Utes!!!

Cold has Come!

I can't believe how cold it has been lately. I guess my body was still in summer mode. I didn't really think that i would be excited for the cold. I have always been like my mom always looking for the warmth and the beach. But for some reason during this really poor stage of Jake and I's life I cant wait for Christmas. I have always been the one that doesn't think about Christmas until after Thanksgiving but this year i am so excited. Mostly for our first Christmas Tree!! I know that once Christmas is over i will be ready for summer but for now I am having a great time. I have added some new pics unfortunately they are from last year. But dont worry new ones are bound to come!!

UTAH VS. TCU

Wow last Thursday was an interesting game for the utes. It was really cold but with all the jumping up and down and screaming at the players and the refs I stayed pretty warm. I have definatly had a hard time staying awake all day today at work my body is not used to staying up late so when i dont get to sleep until after 11 its bad news which is sad because Jake and I used to stay up till 3 in the morning on week nights when we were dating. I wonder if that makes us boring now?

Any ways the game was alot of fun the Utes are now 10-0 and on the way to beating the Cougars in two weeks. I think it would be great if we had an undefeated season again like we did years ago. I have to say this was the perfect year for a great season because Jake is now offically converted to a Utah fan. We were going to be about a half hour late but instead Jake made us run like 5 blocks up hill to the staduim so we only missed the first 6 minutes of the first quarter. It reminded me of something my dad would do. I often see him doing little things that remind me of my dad. Anyway the Utes won 13-10 it was close but we love our team. GO UTES!!!!

Week of Halloween

I wanted to update my blog before now but Im a little behind and the last couple days were alot busier than i planned. On thrusday I had a girls night with all of my friends from high school. It was so great to see everyone and get together its amazing how crazy my life has been since high school and how easily it is to get out of touch. I dont know why we bought so many pumpkins

After the girls night we went and carved pumpkins at my parents house for Halloween the next night. My mom saw on Good Things Utah how to carve pumpkins with power tools. It was a blast and made the gutting process so much faster. I dont think we will ever do it the old fashion way again.

In case you cant tell, thats a mixing beater on the end!

I know we are hard core!

Halloween was interesting for me. I have always had some kind of party on Halloween and a reason to dress up. Except for this year it was a little different being married without any kids. Im sure everyone who is in this stage can relate there is not a whole lot to do. But we still had fun. Jake and I went Trick or Treating with Paige around the neighborhood until Chris and Jill came over with Caleb. He was a skunk for Halloween and i could not believe how "stinking" cute he was! Afterwards we watched my dads favorite of all times "Young Frankenstein" I personally think this movie is so boring and the black and white film makes me fall asleep everytime. But my dad loves the little dry jokes throughout the movie and always laughs his head off.




This is the back!

Saturday we went with some friends to Body World. Jake and I were so back and forth about going because it was so much money, but after going and seeing the whole exibit i would not have taken back the money for anything it was AMAZING! I have always been interested in how the body works and the little parts that make us who we are. The body is so complex there is no way of logically thinking how our body is the way it is. It is obvious that Heavenly Father is BRILIANT! One interesting fact i learned is that all of our arteries in an Adult body is equal to 60,000 miles long (long enough to be wrapped around the world twice) That is amazing!

Sunday night Jake and I went to Kam Hoskins dads viewing. His family is seriously amazing. Kam and I have been best friends for over a year now and the Hoskins family just blows me away they are so strong and have such great spirits it is obvious that Heavenly Father has been watching over them for years. It was so great to see Kam again and i wish him the best with the rest of his mission and cant wait to see him when he gets home for good!
