Happy Birthday Lacee & McKay!

Lacee and McKay share the same birthday I just want to wish my favorite sister and one of my favorite brothers a Happy Birthday!

GO EAGLES!

Here are some pictures of me just a few years ago. These are from my senior year, I played on the girls basketball team and then cheered for the boys basketball team (way back then they were during different seasons). With my baby brother on the football team that is playing in the class B state championship this weekend I thought that these would be fun to look at!

GO BIG BLUE! I'm just working on my cheers. When I was in High School these cheer-leading uniforms were our favorite and brand new. When Lacee was in High School I saw the uniform in her bedroom (which was actually my bedroom ) and I asked her if they ever wore them but she said that they were the ugliest uniforms that they had! DEFENCE~EAGLES~DEFENCE (stomp, stomp). Are you all getting school spirit now? It should be fun to go watch the game and see a few people from the hometown. We will have to snuggle up in lots of blankets and drink hot chocolate to stay warm. My kids can hardly wait to watch Uncle Tate. Side-note~Last weekend Bostyn was here and Kelly asked her if he was her favorite Uncle and she said "No, Uncle Tate, Kelly is a girls name." I thought it was funny. She told him what she thought even though he is 6'5". Good luck Eagles! See you this weekend.

Why is this on my mantle?

Anyone who knows Kelly very well knows that he loves to tease. I guess this is his way of teasing me. I have put this skull away in the closet a dozen times and it always mysteriously ends up prominently on the mantle. The picture below is of the fireplace and mantle minus the skull. I didn't do the masonry or cut the mantle but I did stain it. My mom helped to stain our railing and then I was on my own. It wasn't as bad as I had anticipated and I am very pleased with the end results! I can hardly wait to hang stockings this year. Maybe I'll hang Kellys stocking from a tooth.

The next three pictures are from temple square in SLC when we were there a couple of weeks ago. It was a beautiful day.

We almost got everyone looking at the camera.

Now it works?

For the past 5 days my pictures would not upload or I could get one uploaded and then a window would pop up and say "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" for some reason now it is working. Does anyone have an idea what was going on? Anyway here are some Halloween pictures. I will try to post more pictures of our trip to UT and maybe I will even put some pictures of the new house (that we have been living in for 3 months now) up, if my computer continues to cooperate with me. I hope that you all had a fun Halloween! Time for me to put the decorations away.
