The Real Spirit of Thanksgiving

There's so much out there that just makes you shake your head and wonder "Where is this country going?" but occasionally there's something that you see that reminds you that not all hope is lost. Sometimes it takes an 11 year old to do that...

Blast from the past

Sundance 05
Stacey just came across these pictures from us at a Sundance movie screening almost 4 years ago. We looked so young and carefree there... or at the very least, we look really cold.
The screening was at Robert Redford's estate in Sundance which was amazingly beautiful.

Baby Pics...

I found these (sort of) forgotten pics of little Minnie as pup so of course I had to share.

Go Utes!

Blake's friend Adam, who has season tickets with Blake, was sick the night of the game so I got to go to the TCU v. Utah football game. It was a big game because a loss to TCU could have knocked Utah out of contention to make it to a post-season bowl game. TCU also beat BYU a few weeks earlier, which is Utah's rival team. There was 'blackout' for the stadium and all fans were supposed to wear black instead of their usual red. TCU led the whole game and Utah pulled ahead 13-10 with 40 seconds left in the game. They held out for the win and it was so LOUD in the stadium. Fans rushed the field and everyone was jumping and laughing and in some cases, crying. I was hugged by complete strangers. It was a pretty cool experience.

We clean up well...

Saturday, Nov. 1st we went to Blake's neice's baptism, which required us to NOT wear our usual outfit of jeans and tees. It was my first Mormon church experience and, to be honest, it was pretty tame. It was pretty much like every other baptism I've ever seen (which may bring the grand total to two? three?)
Sadie was veeerrrryyy nervous but she did really well and she seemed proud to have gone through with it.

Did You?

i even have the sticker to prove it...
