Game Day

Each season, Dan (a carwash chemical vendor friend) treats Jason to a BSU game of his choice.

Dad (Jesse)-Jason-J.C.-Jared

Jeff

When Jeff expressed interest in coming from Texas to Boise, to see BSU play, Jason chose the BSU vs. BYU game. Dan generously paid for 4 tickets (allowing Jason to invite Jeff and J.C.).

Another generous carwash customer, Ron Leise, provided 2 more tickets. Then Jason was able to invite Dad and Jared to come too. Along with the extra tickets, Ron invited them to tailgate at the game...stuffing them full of bounteous Mexican food. :)

Normally when BSU plays, Dad and Jared are interested and will root for them. BUT when BSU is playing against BYU..that's another story. Dad and Jared wore BYU t-shirts under their BSU sweatshirts, interchanging as the situation suited them. Like when BSU tailgating (eating BSU fan food) they wore BSU, but in the stands they peeled off their sweatshirts and rooted for BYU.

Dan ended up not being able to come, so Jason had another ticket. When my Dad didn't answer his phone, Dean became the lucky recipient of the ticket...as long as Candice wasn't having a baby that day.

Short story, long... BSU was victorious. Not a pretty game I am told, but still a WIN.

Mom, Teresa and Lynley tagged along for the weekend too. It was fun to hang out with them and go shopping.

Everyone left Saturday morning, to start heading back to Utah, but not without detouring at Dietrich to visit J.C. and Julia's newest arrival, Savannah Nicole (sp?).

Jeff came back Sunday evening to spend one more night, before flying back to Texas.

Fun week end!

Non-Prom..or Homecoming rather

If you ask Rylee how old she is, she'll probably say, "almost 16!"

She's getting excited for dating.... and honestly I am too.

Because Rylee, and most of her girlfriends aren't 16 yet, they made a plan for a girl's-night-out on the evening of their highschool Homecoming dance. They decided to dress up, go to Olive Garden for dinner and then meet back at a friend's house to watch a "chick flick".

Rylee went "retro" by wearing my mom's old highschool choir dress. After minor adjustments, it fit her well and she looked cute in it. She added her own touches with the belt, beads and other accessories.

Riley Mortensen, Paige Simpson, Jane Stepherson, Rylee, Sarah Bruneel, Eliza Bradford & Melissa Brown.

As Sarah's parents and I were taking these pictures, we commented on how next time the picture would most likely have guys included! That's crazy to think about. :)

Instead of a parent driving/chaperoning, they had Sarah's 21-year-old sister Audrey (3rd from the left) take them. Much more COOL and FUN than a parent I suppose.

(I wanna go.)

What a fun way to spend Homecoming night.

Girl Power! :)

M & M

With General Conference just around the corner, I thought I would make these for my visiting teaching ladies...thanks to Pinterest.

I included a notebook for them to take notes. I should have included M&M's, but didn't make it to the store before our appointments. Bummer. --I was thanked later, by at least one of my ladies, because she was on a diet. :)

Looking forward to hearing from our prophet and apostles.
