Braving the Ute/BYU game.

THANK YOU SCOTT AND ALLISON FOR TAKING US TO THE U of U/BYU football game. WE had GREAT seats. However, yes, I was a little scared. Rooting for the Y in prime Ute territory (except for BOB). Yes, we had some very drunk Ute fans behind us. One which decided to moon us. Very classy Utah fans, pull down your pants and show us your butt. Need I say more?? Oh and Dane, if only you were sitting behind us I might want to come back.

The Happiest Place on Earth...that is what they say.

We have had a busy few weeks and I am just now getting around to posting. We went to Disneyland a few weeks ago and had a blast. We went with my parents and my brother's family. This is our first time going to D-land since Bob was hired by Mickey. It was awesome using our Silver cast memeber card which allows us free access to the park and a ton of discounts throughout.

We drove to California on Friday, Nov. 14th. On Saturday we went to California adventure and the wind must have been just perfect to pick up the ash from the fires and drop it on us for half of the day. I don't want to know what happens when you breathe and eat ash. Sunday we walked along Newport beach. Then back to Disneyland for Monday and Tuesday. Devon loved being out of school and in the 85 degree California weather. Sydney loved her new discovery of Pin Collecting and my Mom soon hopped on that wagon. Alec was very cautious of all rides. The hill at the beginning of Pirates was a little too much for him. Jack would have gone on any ride. He loved it all.

Wednesday we traveled all the way home to find out the circuit to our garage door had tripped so our keyless entry into our house was not working. We also failed to bring keys. After several minutes of checking all windows and doors we discovered Devon's second story bedroom window was not locked. For once Devon's irresponsibility saved us. We borrowed the neighbors ladder and jumped through the window. Yes, that was the end of a great vacation.

I am sure this is just the beginning of several D-land trips. Until next time.....

What about BOB??????

Did I ever mention what a hunk my husband is. I scored big time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are my sweet Trick or Treaters

So we let Alec and Sydney go around the neighborhood with a large group of kids which included the triplets (Alex, Marissa, Rachel), their friend Sydney, and my sisters kids, Tasia, Tristen, and Whitley. They were equipped with a cell phone and a buddy system and we sent them on their way to trick or treat to their hearts content. If you can't tell, my Alec is skeleton Jack Sparrow, Sydney is a cheerleader wearing my old North Layton Jr. cheerleading uniform(orange and black). The Eagles cheerleader is my niece Tasia. My little Jack is a pirate. Maybe Jack Sparrow, however, he wouldn't let us call him that. My sister and I then took our little ones Jack and Abby to about 8 houses which made them happy. Then we came to watch the masses exit the Haunted Woods. Little ones were crying, older kids were running down the driveway to "do it again", and Adults were laughing at their scared youngsters. And we do this because??? WERE OPEN FROM 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. next year. SEE YA THEN!

Introducing the HAUNTED WOODS

Last year we decided to put our Scrub Oak covered lot next door to good use. We created the Haunted Woods and decided to do it again this year. Above are some photos of our scary spookers which includes Devon and his friends and my Mom and Dad. We also have our neighbors the Romney's and of course Bob. Then I have pictures of the set up which we do earlier in the day. Kids love the Haunted Woods so I am afraid if we don't have it next year we may get tricked. Oh, well. It's a lot of work but what we don't do for a few hours of entertainment.
