Fabulous Football in November

We had a great time with the family at the BYU Football game today.

By feeling the temperature outside I would not have guessed that it was November.

It was almost 'hot'.

Here are some pictures...

The kids eating a quick snack.

Emma showing off the sign that she made. It says 'Go BYU' in case you can't tell.

The family before the game.

Emma waiting for the players to run out. She wanted to give them high fives.

Wedding Photos

A week ago I had someone in our Ward ask if I could bring a wedding picture to church for their lesson.

Easy...right?

Wrong.

I don't even have one framed picture of Eric and I on our wedding day.

The biggest reason is that we paid a photographer and all we paid for was a copy of each photo that he took, but in 4 x 6 size. Other than that, we didn't get any other pictures.

I have tried to locate the photographer that we used, and he is no where to be found.

So finally I decided to take our 4x6 pictures and scan them.

problem.....

when I scanned them they came up with smudges all over them, so I knew that when I printed a larger copy that they would not turn out very clear.

Finally I was able to use Picassa to get rid of the smudges. It took a lot of time, but will be worth if to have a picture of Eric and I in front of the Temple for our children to see.

Here is one of the edited photos that I ordered.

I am very happy with the way that they turned out.

Hopefully from now on it won't be such a chore to find a wedding picture!

First BYU Basketball Game of the Year

We enjoyed going to the cougar tip off last week.

BYU Basketball Games are definitely a family favorite. We love going to them.

If you are ever wondering why there are never pictures of me on the blog, it is because most of them turn out like this...with my eyes closed. I must blink a lot.

First Snow

Our 'first snow' came last Tuesday.

When I went to wake Emma up for school that morning I said...'Emma time to wake up, you need to get dressed warm for school today...there is snow all over the ground'.
Marcus popped up, made his bed, got dressed, and ran to the door asking to go out and play.
In the meantime, Emma rolled over and kept sleeping. You would think that girl is already a teenager the way she sleeps and avoids being woken up every single day.

Class Party

I love helping in Emma's Kindergarten Class. The kids are so funny. Here are some pictures from the other day when we did a Halloween Party.

Halloween Festivities

Saturday we went to our ward Trunk or Treat. It was pouring rain, so we all ended up in the Gym while all the children circled around with multiple visits to each person handing out the candy. The kids had a lot of fun seeing all the different costumes.

This is Marcus wearing Grandpa Tim's crazy hair wig on Friday night when we went to hear tubophonic play at a private Halloween party.

On Thursday Night our Friend Christina took us to her friends house where they have a haunted train. When it is light outside it is very mild and not too scary. Thank goodness we got in right before the sun went down cause the kids would have been freaked out by the scariness.

This was taken before we got on the train in front of a bunch of Jack-o-lanterns that they had carved. They were very amazing and very intricate.

Came and Went

Everything keeps happening and before I know it, It has been a couple of weeks before I even get to posting about it.

Eric and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary this month.

4 cars

1 home

3 moves

We are still here and happier than ever.

For our anniversary, Emma drew me a picture of the Temple. I love it!

Look at the very top...she even included the details.

Happy Anniversary Eric!

I love you!

This....

is what I had to deal with today after my child pulled it for the 2nd time in a week! Seriously. Evacuated the entire Richards Building at BYU for the second time in a week. I almost started crying(okay, I really did) because I was so frustrated.

Not only do I have to work everyday, but I get to be a mom while at work which is very hard to do. Needless to say, my eyes are not ALWAYS on my child and things happen that I don't like.

Tomorrow is a new day...right?
