Big Blue

Jeron, Maxwell, and Jensen at the game.

What a most disappointing ending to a game! At the half we were down at 13 to 14. Then with only 1:40 left in the game we scored a touch down for a score of 28 to 27. We thought we had won!!! Then FS moved down the field and we ran them out of bounds and the clock on the scoreboard said 0:00. The official said "Put 2 seconds on the clock" WHAT??? Then FS kicked a 58 yard field goal! The whole stands were in complete shock!! Darn! We thought we had won. Oh, well, we still had a fun time.

Fall Break 2008

We started out the day with a trip to Cabela's, the big outdoor sportsmen’s store in American Fork. The boys loved it! The store has more than 100 taxidermied animals. Also, a large aquarium with tons of fish. While we were there they announced that feeding time would be in 5 minutes. So we hurried over to the tanks and saw them feed the fish. Grandma and Grandpa bought the boys all Cabela's hats. Here's Grandpa Dennis, Maxwell, Jensen, and Kaleb in front of the store.

After lunch we went to the Scarecrow Festival at Thanksgiving Point. The line was so long that we thought we were at Disneyland. This was our first time going so we were hoping it would be worth the wait! Here's Grandma Debbie, Maxwell, Grandpa Dennis, and Kaleb waiting in line. Jensen and I decided to sit down on the curb to wait.

Maxwell and Jensen with the scarecrows. Jensen was sooooo worried about going to the festival when he heard that the word "scare" was part of the title. We tried to convince him that it was all going to be fun stuff and nothing scary, but he wouldn't believe us until he got inside and saw for himself. When we were leaving he said, "That wasn't scary, that was fun."

Watch out Jensen is driving already! But he's too short to reach the pedals, so Kaleb went with him to power the car.

But Maxwell could pedal and steer the car all on his own and he LOVED it!

While the boys were waiting in line to jump the weather man from channel 5, Dan Pope, came and did the weather. Boy was he wearing a lot of make-up! I guess they have to wear that much for TV. If you look you can see Kaleb with his hat and glasses on and then Maxwell in a black shirt and Jensen in a red shirt with a black hat, standing in the background.

Maxwell and Kaleb jumping on the trampoline with the bungee cords attached. They had a blast, but had to wait in line for 3 hours! I know the pictures aren't that great, but the sun was going down by then.


Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Dennis left while the boys were still in line, to go home and start dinner, dutch oven pork and apples, mmmmm. We had a great day! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for spending the day with us!

It's Back to School I Go!

So I was online and thought I would check to see if there was a major at USU that a lot of my credits (155 of them already to be exact) could fit into. I printed off the worksheet and it looked close, so I made an appointment with the advisor. She went over the major and plugged my credits into the worksheets. Then we asked how long it would take me to finish and how many credits I would need to take and whalla! I can graduate in two semesters (14 credits one semester and 12 the other) with my Bachelors of Art degree in Liberal Arts! Yeah! So I applied, got reaccepted, got financial aid and I start in January. I'm excited and can't wait to finally get my BA degree.

Tie Dye- Then and Now

Jensen and Maxwell in their new tie dye shirts 2008. This time they helped a lot with the designs and the colors they used. And we even did socks this time. Pretty cool boys!!
