GoOd DaY tO Be a UTE!!!!!

WOW! WHAT A GAME! WHAT A WEEK! WHAT A YEAR! It has been such an amazing season for Utah Football. There is NO better way to end a season... by dominating BYU! Oh yea, and winning the Mountain West Conference, being undeafeated, and heading to another Bowl game!

Saturday was AMAZING! Eric woke up at 5 o'clock that moring. He just couldn't sleep. He was so anxious and excited for the game. The day seem to drag on. We just wanted the game to start! It eventually did... with lots of contraversy between the teams before the ball was ever touched. Just added more excitment to it all!

Eric charged the field after the game! He touched Brian Johnson, was on the first row as Utah was announced Mountain West Champions, and LoSt a shoe!! Oh well, all worth it right? Soaking it all up!




We officially started getting ready for the big RIVALRY this week. Brad (Eric's brother) always starts the week out by painting the block U on his lawn. We all join him to get ready for the big game!





The week has been filled with jabs, excuses, and bets. I work with pretty much ALL cougar fans... working in Utah County. So the WhOLe school wants to bet with me, and tease me, and quiz me. I was very kind and gently stood up for my beloved UTES! I knew I just had to wait a few days, then they would see. I can't wait to go to WORK tomorrow! My principal is my only sidekick!! Good guy to have on our side though!!! We both knew how it would turn out!

WAY TO GO UTES! YOU MADE US SO HAPPY!

WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!


Can you believe it! Eric and I are expecting our first little bundle of joy on May 26. We are so excited. It has been a fun, tired, exciting, sick, first trimester! But we made it! I am officially done! We will be finding out what the sex of the baby is over Christmas break. We are counting down the days!

I found out that we were pregnant the middle of Sept. We wanted to start trying to get pregnant after my school year started. That way, we wouldn't have the baby until after the school year was over. I just didn't want to leave my students for 6 weeks, if I could help it. Well we almost made it. I am due the LAST week of school. How funny! It works out great though.

I told Eric by giving him a little present. A University of Utah onesie(sp?) and little Utah socks.




We were so excited!! I couldn't help but getting a little teary eyed.

We will keep everyone updated on our new addition!! Yeah!!!

HaPpY HaLlowEeN!!

Being a teacher always makes holidays so much fun! You feel the excitment from the kids the whole week before Halloween. We actually HAD school on Halloween (unlike many schools this year). I loved every minute of it. It is always a crazy day.. but FUN! I have some darling pictures of my cute class... but again, can not post them!

This is me and most of the second grade teachers! (minus Jeanie).

My favorite part is the Halloween parade! I love seeing all my past students in their cute costumes. Eric even came to watch this year, as I paraded through the school.



After a full day at school, we went up to Lacie's house for YUMMY soup and to see all the little kids halloween costumes. Everyone looked great!



Here is Eric, with his biggest fan... Jack the monkey!! What a cute kid!!

We spent Monday night with my family, having our own little Halloween bash! It was so fun! I didn't have my camera, but their were some wonderful costumes! Especially Ryan. I'll see if I can track one down.

We ended the day passing out candy at our house to all the little neighbor kids. We didn't have too many do to the late hour we got home, and the rain! But it was a fun day!
