Twilight

A couple of weeks ago I got Twilight tickets for Kellsi, Samantha, and Me for Friday afternoon. We got into line about an hour and a half before the movie started. We were still pretty far back in line, but we still got great seats. We loved the movie! I have heard some people are disappointed, but I thought it was very entertaining. It was especially fun to see it with my sisters. They are so fun and we can't wait until New Moon comes out so we can see that together as well!


Finally in the theater in great anticipation!


Waiting in line

Starting him early. . .




So, Saturday at my mom's house Alex said, " I want to take Jackson on a four-wheeler ride," to which I said, "Not until he is at least 3 years old." Next thing I know Alex is riding around the yard on the four-wheeler with Jackson, 8 weeks old, on his lap. I guess I lost this one! But, it did provide some cute picture opportunities!

Utah Man Sir, Utah Man am I!

GO UTES!
For the Utah-BYU game we had a party at my mom's house. The party included my family, Uncle Richard, Aunt Maria, Patrick, and my Grandpa. It was so much fun especially since the Utes KILLED the Cougars! The BYU fans (Samantha and Grandpa) were heavily outnumbered. When the Utes scored there was very loud cheering and clapping. When BYU scored it was pretty quiet. It was funny to hear grandpa go "HA HA!" when BYU scored their first touchdown. He makes me laugh- I am happy he came even though he was mad about the outcome! Anyway, I am just happy that I don't have to listen to Cougar fans gloat for another year-it is now my turn!

Jackson's First Football Game!

Saturday, I took Jackson to his first football game! Juab was playing in the semi finals at Woods Cross High School, so I met my mom, Kellsi and Kaitlin for the game. Juab lost, but it was still a lot of fun. It was pretty cold, but luckily Annie gave Jackson an adorable snow suit that kept him toasty the whole time!
My cousin Christie, who has a baby five days younger that Jackson, came too. I hadn't seen her baby Gideon yet and he is so cute! I am mad because I forgot to take a picture of the two of them together. I will see her again at Thanksgiving so I will take one then! Anyway, he is a cute baby and it was fun to see him. Jackson is so big, though! He is so much bigger than Gideon. I knew Jackson was big, but I didn't realize how big until comparing him with Gideon!

After the game we headed to the Gateway and had dinner with Kellie and Aunt Bobbie. Again, a lot of fun with a bunch of my favorite people!

These next pictures are just random. My brother's girlfriend, Cindy, gave Jackson this outfit and it is so dang cute! I thought he looked so cute, so I had to take some pictures of it!

Rockin' the Vote and a Girls Night Out!


On Tuesday Jackson and I headed to Salt Lake. I forgot to register to vote in Layton, so I went to Salt Lake to vote. Then, that night I met up with one of my favorite people ever for dinner. Annie is one of the funniest people I know. Whenever we get together I know that I will laugh a lot! I haven't seen Annie in a long time and it was so much fun to catch up. Thanks for the fun night Annie, I look forward to our next girls night out!

Jackson's Blessing Day

Jackson was blessed by Alex today. It was such a special day and Alex did such a great job with the blessing. I am so thankful to have a husband who holds the priesthood so that he could give the blessing. We were so grateful to have so many friends and family present. The bishop forgot to tell us that there was supposed to be a limit of ten people in the circle, so they let us have all sixteen. It was especially awesome for me to see my 88 year old grandpa in the circle.
I was a little stressed out because a lot more people came than we expected. I was so worried that we wouldn't have enough food. But, everything worked out just fine. There was plenty of food and everyone seemed to have a great time. So, thanks so much to everyone who joined us for our special event!








Happy Halloween!

Halloween was pretty uneventful for us, but here are some cute pictures of Jackson in his costumes. I bought the monkey costume and my brother, Jordan gave us the pumpkin costume. Doesn't he make a cute pumpkin and monkey!
