Oh So FRUSTRATING!!!

So I've been sitting at the computer for two hours now, starting just before midnight, trying to register for classes for next semester. Supposedly if you are a senior, which both Kaleb and I are, you could register at 12:01 am. BUT....the crazy USU server won't let us sign in to register cause there are probably a gazillion other students trying to do the same thing so they can get the classes that they want, cause they are only offered at one time and if I don't get it then it will throw off the whole schedule.......grrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

UPDATE-----it is now 2:48 AM and I was just about to give up and go to bed when the server let me in and YEAH I got all of the classes that I wanted and Kaleb got all but one, but it's one that is new this semester and they put that 0 people could take the class. He'll have to work on that one in the day time.

Halloween 2008

Happy Halloween

Maxwell and Jensen were Tom and Jerry for Halloween. I had a great time making their costumes and they even won a prize at the MASA carnival that we went too. We carved pumpkins, went to the pumpkin walk, went to two carnivals, trunk or treating, and trick or treating. The boys have way more candy then two little bodies will ever need, but they had a great time!

Silver High Fighting Colt Band

For all you fellow Fighting Colts (from high school days). The band won 2nd place at Tournament of Bands! My little sister, Laura Mae, is in the color guard. Here's the link to watch their performance on YouTube. GO BIG BLUE!!

October Fun

Making Halloween fingers with our friends the Alvords.


Jensen and Maxwell unwrapping carmels to make carmel apples. -- A word to the wise....read the carmel apple recipe before trying to make carmel apples!! A little ingredient we didn't know to add, water, makes a HUGE difference in wether or not the carmel works out! At least we will know for next time.

Mmmmm.... don't those fingers look yummy!

Jensen and Maxwell at the pumpkin walk, a fun free fall activity where people use pumpkins and gourds to make scenes. Our favorite this year was Noah's ark.
