second mesa

For those of you that haven’t heard from me a while, I’m still alive. How are you? But anyways I’m still in school (haven’t dropped out….yet) and I am definitely ready for the Thanksgiving Break. School is going swell cuz I just got a 91 and 100% on my last two tests. So now I have some papers to write and stuff. But fortunately, Basketball season has started and BYU hasn’t lost yet so I can take a break from school to watch games and stuff. Nevertheless, I’m staying busy and stuff (sorry for all of the “and stuff”-s). Here’s some pictures of the Jack O’ Lantern I carved for Halloween. I did some of it at Josh’s house then I came home and put on the finishing touches. Oh yeah, and I’m stoked for the BYU-Utah football game this Saturday. Rah, rah, rah-rah-rah, goooooo Cougars!

PS- I’m working on putting up some of my animations I made in school last block of the semester. I’ll see what I can do there. And Happy Birthday to Josh and Melissa. Can’t wait for baby Elsie!

Here’s how we celebrated opening day of the pro football season (and I’m not counting that one game that was out of the country). Nothing like a game of tackle in the front yard. It’s always me and Ashlee against Nicholas. Nick holds his own pretty good, and Ashlee usually has to be reminded which end zone she should run to.

Make sure you read Becky’s post about this evening if you haven’t already.

OK, I’ve finally sat down and have begun to attempt to get somewhat caught up. I’ve pretty much given up keeping up with Becky, she’s going to attain ‘professional’ blogger status any day now. Make sure you’re visiting her site often as she’s doing a great job of capturing our comings and goings.

Here are the long awaited pictures from Ashlee and Nick’s first day of school this year.

First Day of School 2007

Ashlee started Kindergarten, she goes a full day every day of the week, just like ‘real’ school. Nick started 3rd grade and is in a split class where half are 3rd graders and half are 4th graders. We think it’s working out really well for him even though only one of his friends is in the same class as he is this year.

So there’s a start, hopefully at least a couple more posts before the weekend is over.

Since none of you could possibly have been watching the game yesterday, I’ll try to paint you a picture with words. And with pictures.

Imagine it being cloudy and cold at the beginning of the game, but then the sun comes out, and you think things are going pretty well. Then it gets cloudy again, but, you know, it’s not too bad. Then it starts to rain, and it’s pretty cold, but still. And then the snow starts to come down. And it keeps coming and coming. Imagine a fourth quarter that looks something like this:

I haven’t watched the game yet, but the replay board was useless; you couldn’t see a thing on it. And you couldn’t see any lines on the field. It was pretty crazy. But at least we won!
