Notre Dame Game Party

Last Saturday, Matt & Michelle had a Notre Dame party to watch the opening game of football season. Melissa, Jim and Sean were in town from Las Vegas, and Eric and I were also there on vacation. Michelle's friends Stephanie and Mike and their kids, Madison and Gunner came over for the party too.

The party turned out great!! Everybody had a really fun day and the Irish won the game: 35-0. It was a total wipeout! So the good news is that they won; the bad news is that it made for a very boring game.

By the end of the second quarter, we had all jumped in the pool - including Gunner, who is only 5 month old!

And including both dogs, Kaya and Lilah!!!

Birthday Dinner Celebration

We celebrated my 59th B-day with dinner at the Sonora Grill mexican restaurant in Ogden.

Brian, Chantell, Tony, Zack & Hailey surprised me with a beautiful huge bouquet of flowers!!

And Hailey brought me a very special added gift...a Garfield doll!

What a fun night with my wonderful family.

Getting ready for Halloween...

Yay, Halloween is on a Saturday this year!  I'm happy for all of the mamas out there who won't have to be rushing around getting costumes ready on a school day.  I hope it won't be too cold for the cute little trick-or-treaters  ~  if they have to wear coats, we can't see their costumes!!

Don't have a costume yet, but the table's set!

Fiesta Fun

To celebrate Matt's graduation from the U last summer, Michelle had a surprise party for him at their house. He was totally surprised when he came home from work that day to a house full of family & friends! Most of our family was there (with the exception of Christian, who had to work). Melissa, Jim and Sean came up from Las Vegas, and Brian, Chantell, Tony, Zack & Hailey came from Ogden. All of Matt's family was there too. The food was awesome ~ chips & salsa, fresh guac, chorizo-queso dip, and a carne asada taco buffet. Yumm-o! All of the kids (including Kaya) had a ball playing croquet and swinging at the pinatas that we hung in the trees. The highlight of the night was watching Matt attempt to hit the pinata, after Kellie & Audrey spun him around until he was dizzy! The post below is a photo book of the party. There were a lot of laughs and some great memories made that day.....it was truly a day to remember.
