A Busy Weekend

My parents came out for Thanksgiving. It was quite a busy weekend. My older sister just bought a house, so we spent a few days out there painting and getting it ready to move in. In the middle of this we had Thanksgiving at my house. It turned out really well. I had to do the turkey, which I have never done before. I bought the kind that is already done you don't even have to touch. That is seriously the way to go. The dinner was great. And while we had all of the family here, my brother-in-law blessed my nephew. We got all of the food cooked and transported with no accidents, and even quite a bit of leftovers that we are still enjoying. To end the weekend, we came back to my house to watch the BYU - Utah game. BYU won!! It was a great weekend, even though it was probably more work than going to school!

Carving Pumpkins

We were debating about whether to carve pumpkins or not. Finally, we talked ourselves into doing it. We usually have a good time, but we just have to get going. Here are the results. I think they all turned out really good.


A look at all four.

Captain Crunch by PJ.

Avoid the Noid by me. (remember the Noid from the Domino's Pizza commercials? He is the dude that makes your pizza cold.)

Of course we had to do the Y logo by guess who?!

Starting Early...

We are starting early to train a new BYU fan. The hat is a bit big
but he looks so cute in it!!! (couldn't resist adding another picture.)



His dad is a Ute fan, so Em and I had to dress him up for game day!



Not sure his dad likes it, but .... oh well!

PUMPKIN CRAZY!!!

I have decided I really love pumpkin treats. My neighbor brought
over some pumpkin cake that was super good. I don't know why
I have waited so long in the season to begin pumpkin baking, but
I decided I have waited long enough. I need those treats!

Delicious Pumpkin Cake from my neighbor.


My pumpkin roll, that I couldn't resist any longer.
The best part about the pumpkin treats.... the cream cheese frosting!!!

Welcome....

He finally decided to come after being a week late!
He is so cute looking and has a nice round face.
He comes home today and my mom is coming today. I am so
excited!!

Are you ready for some football?

I am not a huge sports fan, but I do cheer for the Cougars. I do watch a total of 30 minutes of any given game, but I am married to the biggest BYU fan that ever lived. As a result I am getting ready for game time. He has got his tickets, we got our new game shirts, we both got new hats (mine is a cute visor!) the banner is hung and the blocks are out. We are decked out and ready to go. Game time is in 94 hours and 9 minutes. It will be nationally televised, (if anyone cares to watch) and we are playing the #1 ranked team Oklahoma. We are 20 point underdogs - but a true fan will still cheer on their team. GO COUGARS!!!

The cute blocks.


The window flag.

Random

So this post is full of random things from the past month.


School starts next week. Here is my bulletin board. It is a wordle that I cut out with my cricut.


We spent a week in Twin Falls California with my whole family. It was a bit windy, but we had a great time. It was a nice summer vacation.


My new birthday banner. I used my cricut to cut it out. I love that machine!!
