The Sweet sweet smell of corn dogs,

people screaming profanities at complete strangers for wearing the wrong colors
the guy in front of us stating all of the obvious
the marching band
enjoying the fall weather
college atmosphere
walking through my old campus
the sea of red
fans rushing the field after pretty much every game
a fun excuse to get out with my husband
the guy behind me yelling "YOU SUCK...." to whomever playing, depending on if we are ahead or not.
wearing my utah apparel
and of course the concessions food. Everything I do revolves around food.

These are some of the things I will miss now that the Utah Football season has come to a close.
until Next year..........GOOOOOOOOOOOOO UTES!

SERIOUSLY, so blessed!

haha. Well another year older and wiser? hmm. Well I will say this. I am blessed to be surrounded with friends and family that are so thoughtful, loving and caring...for me and others. As my birthday came to a close yesterday I just thought of how there isn't one thing I would change, in fact it was the best birthday yet! Having Owen a part of my life all day everyday is such a blessing and made for the best day. Thanks to everyone for all of your warm wishes. It means the world.

BLACKOUT!

Oh the glory! I will admit the first 3 quarters and 10 minutes I was FREEZING and a little bored. But it was so worth it to see the UTES pull through! We love UTAH! This is how we "blacked out" last night. Steve had his beanie made. haha. Wahoo! GO UTES!

some fall fun

I was feeling like a bad mother. Fall started out with colds, then Owen got the Flu, then Steve and I got the Flu, then we got more colds and Steve left town. And here I am at the end of "Fall Family Pic Season" almost caught up on all that. So this weekend we took a quick stop at Mabey's Pumpkin patch as suggested by Heather. Steve took the one of Owen and I. Quite impressive I must say. Its just a matter of time until we are a husband/wife team in the biz...haha.

2 thoughts (kind of related) put into 1!

1. On Saturday I heard a talk that stuck out to me the most of all given this last weekend at General Conference. L. Tom Perry spoke of Henry Thoreau and how he left his luxury life behind for two years to live in a very modest cabin. He wrote, he studied the wild life that surrounded him and he pondered life. What I really got from this is living a more simple life.
2. I just had book club last night and I'm sad it is over because it was such a good book! The Glass Castle was the book about the author's childhood...a crazy one! Her parents were at times: neglectful, irresponsible, careless, carefree, the list goes on and on! You will be amazed to read these outrageous/endearing/saddening stories and see how the Walls children actually survived their childhood.

NOW how my thoughts combine...Henry Thoreau lived a simple life...he had all of the necessicities in life...shelter, clothing, food, knowledge. I felt sometimes the reason I found myself so angry with the Walls parents was because they did not want to be bothered with the necessities (FOOD for their children, sometimes a shelter). I have been told I will always have the necessities in life, and thus far, I have! I know I find myself wanting more (thinking I NEED more) clothes (me and baby), furniture, whatever! But really why should I? After reading the Glass Castle I have felt so blessed to always have whatever I have needed and I feel fortunate that I am able to do the same for my child.

Brooke hosted last night and she certainly is the "hostess with the mostess" GEEZ! Thanks Brooke!
