Show Me Some Sugar!

Today is the big rivalry game between the University of Utah and BYU. You may or may not know that I am a huge football fan. I have loved it since I was little. My favorite NFL team has always been the Redskins; so this time of year, I can usually be found in front of the T.V. watching along with my husband instead of complaining about "all the games" like many other gals I know. I Can't be sure, but "to become an avid Ute fan" may have been slipped into my wedding voes somewhere. If you know Andy's family-you pretty much can't be part of the family unless you are RED. It did't take much convincing for me since I was already such a football fan anyway.
So here we are 4 years after the outstanding Fiesta Bowl Championship, looking for another BCS bid. Some media say the Utes have a great chance at busting into the championship series again with an invitaion to the Sugar Bowl. Here's to a great game with the best team winning and a little something sweat on top of the conference championship sundae! GO UTES!

Sick Sucks!

Ahh.....Nothing like the smell of vomit at 3:30 in the morning!
We just got back from a trip to see Andy's parents and came home with a flu bug-tis the season! Bailey woke up at 3:30 AM Monday crying and throwing up. So here we are a couple days later and Andy has started in. Bless his heart; he is so great to help with sick kids! He has had a crazy work schedule lately and has still answered nonstop work calls while he has been home in bed.
Bailey finally had something to eat this morning and it wasn't long before it came back up on her father's lap, but he took it all in stride and sat there holding back her hair and saying, "it's o.k." while I dove for the bowl and the towel and scooted Bailey into the bathroom. While they both rinsed off the smell; I started in on another round of gross laundry and going all over with the Lysol and the bleach. I have a feeling my turn is coming and I pray Haden can somehow escape it. I am paranoid that my kids with throw up in their sleep and aspirate it.
I just hope we can all get it "flushed" out of our systems and appetites back for Thanksgiving.

Halloween

Here is our sweet princess Snow White and her brother the "Little Devil" Bailey had fun Trick-or-Treating and Haden had and evening nap as we strolled around the neighborhood! Bailey said that next year she will be Cinderella and then the next year, Sleeping Beauty, and the next, Belle. She is a BIG fan of the Princesses right now!


After the kids were in bed; I forced Andy to watch Something Wicked This Way Comes with me. I searched around town to find a video store that still had it. I have tried to tell Andy every Halloween about the creepiest Halloween movie I ever watched as a kid (in the school assembly no less) and he had never heard of it. I had to ask around just to find out the name. All I know is it really creeped me out in Middle School. Of course he thought it was lame, but even though the special effects are cheesy compaired to today's movie making magic, it's still scary enough for me! Then again- anyone who knows me also knows that I do not like scary movies! Dark Disney is enough for me!

Camping In

A couple of weeks ago, we all really wanted to go camping, but Andy had to work on Saturday. Bailey settled for putting up her play tent in her room one night and in the living room the next night because she wanted to go camping so bad! She slept in it all night both Friday and Saturday, but on Sunday her Nursery Teacher said that she asked for a blanket about five minutes into Nursery and curled up and fell fast asleep in the corner for the entire class. She loved her little camp out, but must not have been that comfortable! Andy thrilled that at the age of 3 is already a die hard camper girl!
