12 - 0 BABY!!!

Yeah! The past week of stress and stomach aches has totally paid off. The Utes are 12-0! Hoping they go to the Fiesta Bowl so we can head off to Arizona! We had Mom, Bill, Jon, Ashleigh, Alex & boys over for some gamin' fun!

Brea & Daddy making caramel corn for yummy game time treats!

Brea & Grandma!!!

Andrew, Ashley & Brea! Big happy smiles after a GREAT game! GO UTES!!! The game really made up for my total disapointment with the Twilight movie- YUCK!!! I will totally be keeping MY version of Twilight in my head!

Photo Tag!

So- yeah!- this is my first official "tag", it's from Ashley Mackay, and I'm not quite sure how this works, so hopefully I'll get it right! This is the 4th picture from my 4th file. This is at the Cummings family cabin trip this summer. Brea was having her first experience with Cheetos- love the classic orange ring around her mouth! So now I am tagging Ashleigh Butler & Whitney Butler. The rules are to post the fourth picture from your fourth folder!

Horsin' around with the Taggarts!

Our friends and neighbors, the Taggarts, invited us with them to go care for their horse in South Jordan. Brea and I hopped right on and had a blast! Andrew had never been on a horse before and just wanted to help us ride around. After a while he wasn't so nervous and actually got on himself!
















Thanks again Taggarts! We had a blast!

Halloween Fun- Belated... I know!

It was so fun to watch Brea really enjoy Halloween this year. She didn't totally get what was going on so she didn't have the pre-Halloween spaz stage. But once we were out it was hilarious to watch her. She loves just watching people and taking them in. I loved watching her watch other people and I could tell she was trying to figure out why everyone looked so crazy!

Halloween Eve we had a trunk-or-treat with the neighbors. I'm proud to say it was not only Brea's, but my first trunk-or-treat as well! It was so fun to see our neighbors and friends. We got to see Grandma & Grandpa Meadows and Sheller later on that night for yummy chili and corn bread- Halloween tradition!
Brea & all her Baker buddies!

Halloween afternoon Brea and I got together with Ashleigh & the boys, and Grandma Butler & Aunt Bailee. We went to the SLC downtown library and the kids had SO much fun. They listened to spooky books, watched a puppett show about a cute witch, made their own candy bag, went trick-or-treating around the library, and -Brea's favorite part- danced to the Monster Mash! Brea just loves to shake it!

Mason, Brea & Ian cheesin' for the camera!

That night we all got together for a driveway BBQ at Alex and Ashleigh's- THANKS AGAIN! It was so much fun to be there with the whole Butler Family. We even got to see Laurie and Dawn for a few minutes so they could spoil her! I was amazed at how quick Brea caught on to trick-or-treating... Mason and Ian have taught her well!

I have stomach ache- is that normal?

Okay- I think I may have this finally figured out thanks to the phone service that is Heather & her helpful assistant Camie. Don't worry Ameriprise, your planning assistants are hard at work- helping me! I'll just blame them if this is a total mess. And I'll admit that worrying over what my first post should say has totally given me a stomach ache. Heather says you stop thinking about it. Hopefully that's true... otherwise I may not be able to keep this up due to health reasons!
