Way to Go Cougars!!!!

Josh and I were able to attend the MOST exciting rivalry game between BYU and Utah ever! (I can say that because BYU won:o) This one went right down to the wire and our cougars were able to pull out the win. This picture shows the mayhem that erupted after the game on the field. Josh was on his phone with a friend that is a Ute fan who had been heckling him the entire game. He had to call him back and rub it in that BYU won :o) As we like to say at our house, "You're Better Dead than Red." Gotta take advantage of the bragging rights for as long as you can because this rivalry is SO unpredictable!!!

Halloween and Matthew's Championship Game

Halloween was quite the adventure at our house this year. Matthew spent most of the weekend on the couch being sick. Poor guy, one of the worst holidays for a kid to be sick!

Ellie's a black cat and Gracie a pumpkin.

Zach as a ghost.

It's when I'm sitting at the kids Halloween parade at school that I realize how fast the year's gone by...seems like yesterday I was sitting there watching them parade from the year before. Ellie's in the picture below and then Zach is in the one below that. His friend Kenadee is the cute pink witch.


Matthew had his football Championship game on Halloween as well. He was pretty upset that he wasn't able to play in it because of being sick. It was an exciting game to watch and a great end to their undefeated season. Here he is receiving his medal and then a picture of him and his dad. He loved having his dad be one of the coaches. Now it's time for basketball season for Zach.


Thanks to talented friends of mine I was able to make the girls costumes this year. Their tutu's turned out SO cute!

The kids had a great time at our ward Halloween party eating pizza, playing games and getting more treats.



Here are my cutey pies right before they were ready to go trick or treating. Matthew begged to be able to go...I let him go because he had been fever free for 24 hours.

Ellie and Gracie with their friends Aly and Cole. Aly was the cutest cupcake and Cole was Dash from The Incredibles. I just saw him today and he still has his costume on. I don't think he's taken it off since Halloween :o)

Devin and Vanessa had the funniest costumes. Check out that mullet and chest hair on Dev.


I think Matthew had-had it by this point. Doesn't he make a scary Skeleton??

Cute little Lily!

Mom dressed up for the trick or treaters that came to the door. Those coconuts are sagging side-ways Mom :o)
