Blackout- Utah vs. Oregon State!

Best game of the year!! I love this time of year, and love me my BLACKOUT GAME! We played Oregon State, and the last time we played we were saved by a Louis Sakoda last second field goal. So this........ was the most talked about game of the year......and Darren couldn't make it.

Darn Continuing Ed seminars.

So I got to go with my "next best things." Ayden's first game ever and Jaret's second.

Other Ute fans, we love!

Our neighbors, Brian and Kelly Oscarson

My sister Cheryl, and her husband Curt.

And what do you know, even Captain America! Ayden was in awe.

Final score Utes 27 - Oregon State 8! First conference win in the PAC 12! WOOT!

Happy Belated Birthday, Jaret and Ayden!

Jaret and Ayden turned 11 in June but wanted to wait until school started to have their party. And what do you know? They asked for the Halloween party the other two had in the past.

Cade Parry, Ethan Giacalone, Ethan Barker, Justin Brown, Caden Harris, Brinley Dickson, Breanne Bitter, Sam Dayton and Julia Bingham. (Caleb Vest and Chase White arrived a little late.)

Love grossing them out and making them "Bob for Fingers"

Photo scavenger Hunt, Scar Tag, and the making of homemade pizzas. It was a 5 1/2 hr. (way too long) party without the help of Darren. :( Who knew he helps out so much. But check it off as done! It was fun. Sad to think the next party we throw will be before the start of Junior High. No bueno! Love my twins! They are growing up waaaayyy too fast!

Frightmares!

The Catapult at Lagoon.....

......the only thing frightening at Frightmares!

Good Things Utah....Good times!

Sweet little Marti Skold is leaving "Good Things Utah" to pursue a career as a lead anchor in North Carolina. We were able to get to know her through the Miss Syracuse Pageant committee, she lives in Syracuse and had emceed as a volunteer our pageant for the last 3 years. She was fantastic, and we will miss her come next June!

In the audience with the girls! Terra Bruce, Mindy Talbot,

Kara Dart, Lisa Marker and Shelley and Shana Thorne.

Down to earth, genuine, grateful hosts! Love these ladies!

Lunch and a little shopping after.....

FAVORITE BAND

Curt loves Cheryl...

Perfect September Day!! This is my sweet sister Cheryl and her now husband Curt. Love these two people together, and love this newly formed family! Cheryl and Curt met when Cheryl was living in Bountiful, and Curt was still married. Katelyn was in the 3rd grade and Curt was her BEST FRIENDS dad. Fast forward 5 years, a couple of relocations, and a chance meeting Curt saying....."Don't I know you?" and Cheryl rolling her eyes. So many years later Curt still had her cell number logged in his phone!!

And 3 years after that......they decided to move forward together. Happy are we!

Cheryl and Curt flew in my brother Darren and sister Jen in from San Francisco, and they brought our cousins Andrew and Jay-Jay with them. It was sooo fun to reunite and spend time with them again! Malcolm and Ena made the 12 hour drive up, too!

Love this man.......

and this family we created, too!
