BRUTAL, BRUTAL, BRUTAL......

Colton had a guitar concert tonight at Willowcreek Middle School. He told me the teacher told him as soon as they were done performing they could go home. Awesome, we would be there and home within a half hour. WRONG!!! We get there and his group is freaking dead last. Of course they can go home right after, the concert is done. We sat for 2 hours listening to the Lehi JR. High Orchestra, beginning, advanced, and concert. Then we got to listen to Willowcreek Middle School beginning, advanced, and concert orchestra, then for our listening pleasure we heard the Lehi High School Orchestra. Let me just tell you I wanted to stab my ears with a dull fork. It would have been more enjoyable. Now don't get me wrong I like Phantom of the Opera, and Les Miserables, but this was brutal. This type of music is why we have serial killers. It is not Marilyn Manson, it is orchestra. I was going freaking crazy. By the time Colton came on I wanted to kill everyone in that whole freakin' auditorium. Colton came on and played hmmmmmm...about 30 seconds. Then the teacher announced the next concert is going to be December 10th. I have a Christmas party that night, I am sure of it. And if I don't, I will. Now I must go listen to AC/DC and calm myself so I can sleep tonight.

Happy Birthday Dad....

Well let me say this, about that...Happy Birthday to the man who has excellent taste in music, taught me to play baseball, showed me the way to Hart's, is known for his 'phrases', has 4 of everything(and I mean everything), and is the best fireman. We hope you have a wonderful day. From your "Favorite Daughter."

Mascot Bowl

Tonight Harold Terry, along with the rest of the Police Deparment, were honored at the Mascot Bowl. It was really great to see Harold walking out onto the field with all of his co-workers and friends. He received a standing ovation and the tribute was really heartwarming. It was really awesome to see all the men in uniform receiving recognition. They risk their lives everyday and it was nice to see the community stand and give them that recognition they all deserve. We all are greatful that Harold is doing as well as he is.


After Harolds tribute and the National Anthem a couple of parachuters jumped out of a plane onto the football field. The kids said it looked like they had jet packs on. They came out of the plane and hauled butt onto the field, leaving behind a smoke trail.

For those of you that don't know what the Mascot Bowl is, it is a fundraiser for the Fireman and Friends Fund. The High School gets mascots from all over to come and play a fun game of football. Each year a different football team plays the mascots. This year the 8th grade football teams played the mascots. Here are a few of the Mascots. I don't know all the official names but the Bronco from the Denver Bronco's, the Philadelphia Eagle, Cosmo from BYU, Hoots the Owl from Orem Owls, Grizz from the Grizzlies, Bumble from the Buzz, the Jazz Bear, and I don't know why but Barney were all there. There were a bunch more, but I can't remember them all. It seem like most of the colleges in Northern Utah had a mascot here. The kids had a good time and thought it was pretty cool.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATILIE....

Happy Birthday to my little sister Natilie who loves...farmer tans, weird hair, and holding her children. I love you. Do you remember that post of me in My swimsuit? Well this is payback and not nearly as bad. I hope you had a wonderful day.

I am proud to say......

I got an A, on Colton's history paper. Thank you,I know, I am smart.

One Last time.....

We took the kids and went out on Utah Lake yesterday. It will probably be our last time this year. It was freezing cold. Jeff decided to buy the kids a "Molecule" for Christmas. He left it in his car, and as Kinzie rip-sticked by she saw it. She came bursting into the house "Dad bought us a molecule". Jeff's response...."shit". Well he didn't hide it very good. His fault.
I don't think we realized how big this thing was.

Jaycie will not ride on anything at the lake. She loves to ride in the boat, and she likes to swim. She is scared to death of falling off. She doesn't realize that we have all fallen off and survived. Well we had her convinced that you couldn't fall off this tube because it was just to stable, and we told her we would leave her at the lake it she didn't at least try it,so she did.....

Then I decided to ride on one of the big blue balls, and Kinzie also jumped up on one. Jeff was going like 5 miles an hour so Jaycie wouldn't be scared. Anyway somehow with me and Kinzie on the balls, it started whipping funny and I fell right off. That was it for Jaycie. My fault. I should have just went on a nice leisurely ride.
The kids had a blast. This thing whips you around so fast.

Even Jeff got into the action.

And for some, the excitement was just too much.
