Football!

Dave and I went to a University of Utah football game a couple of weeks ago. The game was good but the weather was not so good. It rained for the first half. Oh well, we still had fun and we are glad the Utes won! Are you shocked I said that? I am a true half and half fan. I grew up cheering for the Cougars, my entire lineage went to BYU, I have a strong love for the school, its programs, and its atmosphere. But I actually went to school at the U not BYU. My family is blue and Dave's family is red. So what to do... go with my heart(BYU) or my mind and a little heart(U of U)? I will simply continue to enjoy both schools, except if they are playing each other, then I will always be a BYU fan! This is a silly thing to think about. Only in Utah with its Holy War rivalry would one have to debate this. I say to Dave just be glad I like football in the first place!

...halloween...

We had a really fun Halloween! Dave and I took Allison to see her grandparents and they loved her costume. After that we went to Kim and Jerrod's house for a Halloween party. I had a really fun time coming up with our costumes, Dave and I were robbers and Alli was the bag of money that we stole. Thanks to my really cute and talented mother-in-law, Dianna, for helping me prepare and sew Allison's costume. You are so awesome!

Allison was the cutest money bag ever! We would take an Allison bag of money over a real bag of money any day!

While Dianna and I were busying ourselves with getting the costume ready Allison was just busying herself with playing. She is always on the go and having lots of fun. She sure makes life fun and we love her for that.
We got out to the party and everyone was in costume. Jerrod and Kim were old fashioned golfers, Jenn was Blankie from the Brave Little Toaster and Steven was the Swedish chef from the Muppets, we were the robbers and money, Mike was dressed as a woman and Jennifer was his/her lesbian lover, and Danielle was a ballerina but she had changed into regular clothes by the time we took this picture. Everyone was really creative and their costumes were fun!

There was lots of yummy food. We ate delicious chili in bread bowls, chips and dips, cookies, cupcakes, donut hole eye balls, and graveyard desserts. I made the graveyard desserts and I was really proud of them. I thought they looked cute.We were all supposed to bring a pumpkin to carve but when Dave, Danielle, and I went to get some on Halloween day the store did not have anymore. Luckily Kim and Jerrod had bought an extra one so we shared it with Jenn and Mike and got in on the pumpkin carving competition. All the pumpkins looked great! We had a really fun night and it was a great kickoff to the holiday season. I love this time of year!
