Time flies by...


Last Saturday we all went to Kennecott with Tony's family for their 20th anniversary celebration. They had a little tour and then lunch. It was lots of fun. I have pictures, but I need to get them off of the camera and then I will put them on here. We all received fun give-a-ways and a good time was had. Then Tony went and took a washer and dryer up to his brother in Logan while I watched the rest of the BYU game at his mom's. It is nice to see that BYU is back to their old selves when they used to just kill everyone by tons of points. Those blow out games aren't really as much fun as the closer ones, but I don't like nail-bitters because I get too anxious.

Tyler has become obsessed with playing in the car. We let him do it at first while we were using the car to pull out bushes, ever since that is the first thing he does when we go out side. On the plus side, I have cleaned out both cars while he has been playing. Of course then he wants to play with the vacuum and a 15 minute job turns into a 45 minute job. It keeps me humble.

I am going to go and teach at my sisters school (Riverton High) on Wednesday. I am going to be a presenter about the banking world. It should be lots of fun, I look forward to it. I just hope that the kids don't get too bored and that I have enough information. I will let you know how it goes!

Go Cougs!

Tony and I got to go to the BYU game on Saturday against UCLA. BYU killed them 59 to 0. It was such a great game. Tony and I got to go to the side line and watch part of the first quarter on the field. It was so awesome to be so close to the action. Our seats were on the 20th yard line and 10 rows up. They were nice seats. Then we got to go to a corporate sponsor pre-game lunch and half time treats too. We won the tickets from my work at Deseret First Credit Union. They are one of the sponsors, so they have tickets to each game. It was a great game and a fun experience. We really love BYU football so it was awesome. We were truly spoiled that game. I hope to win some more tickets some time.

Tony and I have been working really hard on our yard lately. It will look nice when it is done, but it sure is a lot of work. We always start out with a little job and then it ends up being a huge job. I think that is how it always is. It has needed to be done for a while, so it is good that it is getting done.

Tyler is getting so big. He is such a big jumper. He is so daring and will jump off of pretty high things, like the couch. He is talking a little better. He says Dad more now and words like cat, dog, ball, mom, car...that is all I can think of now. He definitely focuses on physical things more then verbal skills. He is so much fun and I just love him so much.

Good times

Tyler has been sick with a cold the past couple of days. It sucks when babies are sick. They can't tell you what is really wrong, so you just have to guess. I took him to the doctors on Friday and found out that he has an ear infection. This will be the third one he has had. The doctor said that babies are "allowed" four within their first year of life. So I was glad to hear that. It was a different doctor then I usually see, but I really liked him. I kind of wish that he was Tyler's doctor always. I would feel bad switching, so I will have to be happy with my doctor.

This last weekend was very busy. Tony and I decided to take out some bushes from our yard and make it look better. My dad and brother came and helped us take out the bushes and then on Monday a guy from our ward helped Tony put them on the trailer. Tony had a bungee cord come back and hit him in the eye brow and the lip. We spent 2 hours in the InstaCare waiting to get a stitch. Good times. His eye is pretty purple now, it is way hot.

We have been working every night on our yard. We bought some flowers and a small tree for our front yard. It is starting to look really nice. Tony planted seeds tonight and I sure hope that they grow well. We have 300 bulbs to plant, so that will be awesome come this spring. I love it when the yard is nice and the lawn is mowed. It will be worth all the hard work when we are done, at least it better be.
