Rise & SHOUT!

WOOOHOOO!!!

17-10! BYU Wins! BYU Wins! Undefeated in Mountain West play two years straight! Josh, please tell me you were at this game. There’s nothing like winning with under a minute two years in a row (except for winning like fifty something to hardly anything and you only threw like 10 passes and racked up like 7,000 yards of rushing, that was a good game too). I so wished I lived in SLC right now (I may regret saying that later), just to rub it in. Good thing we’re in PA, and Nat has Dish, I was flipping through channels and was glad the game was on one of them.

Wait, I think I just heard the announcer at the stadium say something about revoking recommends for anyone who ran onto the field. Wait, there’s Josh… get out of there Josh, or at least cover your face so they can’t record you!!!

I’m Still Alive

For those of you that haven’t heard from me a while, I’m still alive. How are you? But anyways I’m still in school (haven’t dropped out….yet) and I am definitely ready for the Thanksgiving Break. School is going swell cuz I just got a 91 and 100% on my last two tests. So now I have some papers to write and stuff. But fortunately, Basketball season has started and BYU hasn’t lost yet so I can take a break from school to watch games and stuff. Nevertheless, I’m staying busy and stuff (sorry for all of the “and stuff”-s). Here’s some pictures of the Jack O’ Lantern I carved for Halloween. I did some of it at Josh’s house then I came home and put on the finishing touches. Oh yeah, and I’m stoked for the BYU-Utah football game this Saturday. Rah, rah, rah-rah-rah, goooooo Cougars!

PS- I’m working on putting up some of my animations I made in school last block of the semester. I’ll see what I can do there. And Happy Birthday to Josh and Melissa. Can’t wait for baby Elsie!

Are you ready for some football?!

Here’s how we celebrated opening day of the pro football season (and I’m not counting that one game that was out of the country). Nothing like a game of tackle in the front yard. It’s always me and Ashlee against Nicholas. Nick holds his own pretty good, and Ashlee usually has to be reminded which end zone she should run to.

NFL Opening Day

Make sure you read Becky’s post about this evening if you haven’t already.

Ashlee Starts School

OK, I’ve finally sat down and have begun to attempt to get somewhat caught up. I’ve pretty much given up keeping up with Becky, she’s going to attain ‘professional’ blogger status any day now. Make sure you’re visiting her site often as she’s doing a great job of capturing our comings and goings.

Here are the long awaited pictures from Ashlee and Nick’s first day of school this year.

First Day of School 2007

Ashlee started Kindergarten, she goes a full day every day of the week, just like ‘real’ school. Nick started 3rd grade and is in a split class where half are 3rd graders and half are 4th graders. We think it’s working out really well for him even though only one of his friends is in the same class as he is this year.

So there’s a start, hopefully at least a couple more posts before the weekend is over.

Can’t catch up

OK, so I’ve really been hammered this semester. I don’t really know why but I have just been way too busy since Fall rolled around. Not to fear though because Becky has been going in overdrive on her blog. So, make sure you bookmark her site and visit there more often than here because she’s done a ton of updates lately. So, enjoy while I try and catch up with all the posts that I’m behind.

Peace out!
