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!

Pumpkin Patch

Fall is my favorite time of year. Its the time when the leaves start changing colors, the air gets cooler and the Holidays begin! We went to the Pumpkin Patch on Saturday with my mom and little sisters. I haven't been since I was a little kid so it was good to be able to go back and think back on old memories. Its weird to think that the days are just around the corner when Jake and I will be there with our kids. We both still act like we are kids most of the time so its funny to look around and see everyone there with their little kids and Jake and I are there with ourselves and dragged our sisters to come with us so we didn't look like immature dorks. But it was alot of fun. Jake and I picked out our pumpkins and on Thursday night we are carving them with my family. My mom saw something on Good Things Utah where you can carve pumpkins with power tools so we are going to give it a try! I have been really sick all weekend so we had a pretty slow weekend but it was very relaxing and well needed. I am now feeling a million times better!

I have such a cute Husband!

Caleb

Caleb and Morgan

Sunday Chris and Jill brought Caleb over. This week was exactly two years since i told them they were going to be Caleb's parents. I cant believe how much he has grown up. He is just around the corner from 2 and he already has no baby in him. He has full on conversations, knows all of his animal noises. He does the cutest thing if you say Caleb what does a lizard say he sticks his tongue out. I cant believe what a little soccer player he has begun. You can obviously tell Chris wants to be able to show off his boy in the field. He plays catch perfectly and kicks the ball like you wouldn't believe. I look at Caleb and I see how much he has grown. They are such a cute perfect family. He is so happy with his parents and they are so perfect for them. They are all so happy It makes it that much easier for me. Some people think i am crazy to still have an open adoption with them but it honestly is the best choice i have ever made and being able to see them makes it so much easier for me! I can't wait for the day to come when Jake and I are ready to start our family, its crazy because Caleb makes me want to have a family! He was such a miracle that saved my life. Everyday I thank my heavenly father for bringing him to me!!

Holy Cow how is he so cute??

Of course we went to the Ute game and watched them dominate Colorado State. Here are some of the pictures it was the first Utah game our whole family was able to go together we had a blast! It was also Paiges 9th birthday so we had to celebrate!

The girls were a little caught off guard!

Eagle Eye

Yesterday I had the day off which i cant decide if its a good thing. I love it but for some reason i keep finding myself spending tons of money! We bought our first washer and dryer! I never thought the day would come that I would be spending money on cleaning supplies food, and washer/ dryers instead of clothes or whatever i felt like. Its definately a change and its amazing how expensive everything is but they are awesome and work like a charm. It will be so nice being able to do laundry through out the week instead of all in one day trying to get it all done!



Friday Jake and I went and saw Eagle Eye. We both have been wanting to see it since it came out I love Shia LaBeouf I think he is such a great actor. It was really good and we were both entertained but i dont know if i would reccommend it the ending wasnt good at all. It seemed like they werent sure how it was going to end so they just decided to throw in a ending!
