Brigham City Football

Andrew's last game was in Brigham City.  His last game forever as a Brave.  Brooke met me there since she is in Utah State.  We had a great time.   So fun.  She even got a picture with Andrew...

He wouldn't get off the bus for a picture. 

Anniversary

I have been married for 23 years.  Really, can't imagine that long.  So this year Chili Willi gave me some money, flowers, facial cream, jewelery and a gift card to Red Lobster.  Super nice.

Braves Senior Night 2016

Tonight was the last home game of Andrew's High School Football career.  The Seniors were honored after and got to run through the tunnel of cheerleaders and fans and their names and numbers were announced for the last time.  It has been fun!!

Conference Talks

My favorite quote so far in Conference was by Elder Ballard...(he is not one of my favorite speakers necessarily), but he said 

“”If you live as long as I have, you will come to know that things have a way of resolving themselves.

Great advice!

Homecoming 2016

Abi and Andrew both went to Homecoming.  Andrew at Bountiful High School and Abi at Woods Cross High School.

Abi got her dress at the first store we looked in.  She looked around and also got a pair of shoes.  She decided to not wear the pair we got at Payless for $7.00.  But decided for $7.00 we should keep them anyway.  She went with Zac Schultz and looked Beautiful.

 He brought her flowers too!  They were beautiful.  I thought it was such a nice touch.  Andrew wanted to give them to date.  Since his dance was a week later...Abi said no, but good thinking Andrew.

More pictures of the girls...Their dates come to their house.  Andrew takes his clothes and goes to his friends house to get ready...................


Andrew decided he needed a new suit.  We got his Suit at Macys'.  Problem is the pants were too long.  The other size was too short.  We could get them hemmed.  The hemming place closes at 6:00 and he has football every night.  And I was gone on the Saturday of the dance.  So Andrew and Chili Willie had to use Hem tape to tape up the hem.  He looked so very handsome.  Boon's mother  even said that he looked soo good that she needed to get Boon a suit like that!  Now that is a compliment.

So fun to see them dressed up and hopefully on their best behavior!

Fall Golf

FINALLY we got to play some golf.  Not go golfing, because you don't go tennising or footballing, but play golf.  Nick and Jack and Maureen decided to go after school.  We planned ahead, put our clubs in the car, and I picked up Nick from gma's house.  And we were off to Fore Lakes.  Our new favorite place.  It is getting dark earlier so we had to get there.  We had a great time, until Jack gets mad.  He gets mad and then starts throwing clubs and kicking your ball when it is on the green.  Jack ended his game early.  Two holes early.  He also doesn't get to use my clubs again.

He also didn't get the trip to Maverik that Nick and I got.  Oh, and Mcdonalds that Nick got.

So fun to be outside on a beautiful fall afternoon with my boys!  Well, two of them.  Nick and I are going to try to go next week again, maybe getting out of school early!!  Fore!!

I don't like pictures of myself, but decided that i should have a few for obituaries and to show that we all did fun things...

Funny Nick

Nick posted this on Instagram after his Football game.

Beyond Tired

It is Friday night. I am Beyond tired.  It has been quite a week.  Teaching is so hard and tiring. I am constantly from 8:00 to 3:00 have people bugging me...constantly commenting to me and wanting me to help them and talk to them, and just bother me.  It is just exausting. Then I have to prepare lessons, grade, teach, be nice, set up labs, clean, go to faculty meetings, and go to other meetings.  THEN I have to come home and have everyone want my attention, and can I buy them this or that, or help them, or clean for them, or do the dishes or cook or shop.  I had parent teacher conferences this week.  I am the teacher.  They are from 3:30 to 7:30 at night on Wednesday AND Thursday night.

Then, My Cousin, Sharon, is in town from Oregon.  I went to Marlena's house on Wed after conferences to see her.  So I didn't get home until like 10:30.  Then tonight I went over to Marlena's house again to take her to the airport.  We ended up visiting, and she changed her plane ticket to leave on Monday.  Wow.  I just got home, and it is 10:00.  I was very ornery today.  I teach productivity at school which means I don't get a break all day.  Well, I get 30 minutes for lunch.  I choose to do that so I get paid an extra hour every day.  I am broke.  However, it is very hard.  I also have some difficult classes in the afternoon so they are also taxing on me.  I am not sure what to do.....
