Friday Football


Friday night Kim and I decided to revisit our days of youth and go to the Box Elder High School football game. It was good to visit the old Purple and White - it was amazing that I still knew the words to the "fight song" as well as the BEHS school song! Some things never change! Actually we went to the game to watch Mitch Parrish play. Even though he is a sophomore he gets quite a bit of playing time for the varsity team. We probably didn't pick the very best game to watch, however, as Skyview has an awesome team, an awesomely huge team, as in our team looked like they were running into a brick wall every time we tried to move the ball. Poor Mitch, I believe he had to run for his life several times!

Bryce Wilding is also on the team and so Dave and Jodi were there and Jazen and Jen showed up too, We had our own cheering section! It was tons of fun, but it would have been more fun if the game wasn't such a blowout. We lost 56-6!

After the game we went out to dinner at Center Street Grill. We talked, laughed, and joked until almost midnight. Our conversations ranged from handguns (Janzen & Mont), blogging (Jen, Jodi, Marilyn & I with Dave & Kim complaining) to the scary situation of hard drugs among the students at the high school. Basically we closed down the place - they even mopped the floor around us. It is so very great to have good friends!

That was so fun! Now if only we had an excuse to go to all the games! We should have another game night or something. Really games are just an excuse. We can just get together and chat about guns and such!

That was a pretty sad game. Both my girls were in the mini cheerleaders at half time. Personally, that was the funnest part for me. But I am partial to them. :)

Fun Day With Bubba

Today Bubba and I had a great day! First we joined Ash and Tristan for a visit to the park. Bubba and Tristan ran and rolled and climbed and had all kinds of fun! Later, Kim and I had to run to Logan, so we decided that a quick trip to Willow Park was in order. Bubba was so excited to see all of the animals there. We saw turtles, geese, swans, cranes, peacocks, and deer. We watched an owl eating his dinner. We saw a couple of young antelope fighting - I think they were really just playing! We even saw a couple of wallabies! Of course, Bubba's favorite part was feeding the ducks! He got a little nervous if one got too close, but as long as they kept their distance, he had a blast throwing food to them. I'm sure that he just about wore himself out with all of the walking and running and playing. I know that I did!

Memories:  These vintage pictures surfaced this month.  I just love looking at old pictures remembering how things were - especially when the pictures are of loved ones who are no longer with us.  I love seeing Grandpa and Grandma surrounded by family.  They loved being with family!  This made me smile. Top:  Tasha, Grandpa Olsen, Grandma Olsen, Abby (?)

We had a marvelous time!  So much so that Kim has decided that he wants to build our ...

Our 3 Minutes of Fame

Whew Whoo! "Diana Ross" and we "Supremes" performed brilliantly at our recent Stake Lip Sync. Okay, maybe we weren't quite brilliant - but at least we did it! We had anticipated a little more time to prepare and since several of the acts scheduled to perform before us neglected to show up, we were not exactly warmed up, stretched, and in sync as we would have liked to be. I have had several constructive criticisms requesting that I never dye my hair black. Karen and Janet were terrifically fun to do this with!
