BYU vs ISU

Yes I know what you are all thinking..."I bet that was such a good game!"  Ok, so maybe not but it was good to support the school we have all gone to.  I have to admit though, this is the first ISU football game I have been to, ever, and we traveled to Provo for it!  It might not have been the most exciting game ever, but it was fun to be with friends for the day.  ISU lost (big surprise) but at least they scored!  We dressed up to support our school, and we sure stuck out:)

The Good, The Bad, and The Guilty

My dear friend Ami came into town from Arizona.  I wanted to do something fun and boy did we:)  We played How to Host a Murder.  It was so much fun.  We had a good group, that took a lot of work to get but finally we had people pull through.  We had good food, good friends, and good times!  Here are a few pictures of the night.

Trying to be tough:)

We didn't get a picture of Trevor and Angie but they were the other couple.  They were nice enough to come on such short notice so we didn't get a chance to get a picture of them. 

Happy Halloween!!!

                                

A hunting we will go!

Brett somehow talked me into going hunting with him and 3 other guys over the weekend.  Let's just say it was an experience I will never forget!  I was definitely not prepared for what I was getting myself in.  Early mornings, late nights, lots of hiking, and LOTS of silence!  I just wanted to talk and sing and move, and these boys would have none of that!  It was a great trip and you can pretty much call me a professional hunter:)  (j/k)

Look out elk...Brett's coming to get you!

Where we sat...for the whole day!

Oh, so cute!

Check out that face! I'm talking about the elk:)

Huddled under the tree where we sat for 8 hours!

The boys sleeping on the job!

Lucky as me!

The other day, after coming home from a long day at work, I found this on the front door step:)

As you all know, I love ice cream.  It's just so....amazing! I first saw this sign at some people's house that are in our ward.  I saw it and just had to have it.  It was hanging on there barn.  The next Sunday, I begged Brett (pretty much threatened him) to ask about the sign and if we could buy it from them.  After a long conversation with nothing to really do with the sign, they agreed to just give it to us!  I was so excited.  After a couple weeks, I come home to the sign sitting on the front porch:)

Brett is so handy!  He made me this picture frame out of some wood, go figure!  He has been working out at Chesterfield on an old barn and so he surprised me with this frame. The stuff inside is something he put together too.  Before we got married, I gave him my wedding time capsule that I made while in Young Women's.  It has our wedding colors, what my dress looks like, names of our kids, and letters to my future husband, aka Brett.  Anyways, I love the frame and it will look great...get ready for this...in our 

NEW HOUSE!

"The Help"

The other day Brett had the day off from work so we decided to have a date together. We got up and went on a bike ride up to Moonlight Mine. It was a beautiful day and the company wasn't too bad either:) We then decided to go to the movie. We went and saw "The Help." This movie was so so so good! I loved it. Not only was it funny, sad, and inspirational, but it really opened my eyes up. We can all use a little "Help" in our lives, but what I got from this movie is that we have all this help around us but we will always want and need more. This might sound like I am preaching, but I am mostly preaching to myself. It's easy to get down and gloomy about things that we don't have or that we want. Why not try to be the "help" someone else needs. I am going to try this out and will let you know how it ends up:) And remember,

"You is smart, you is kind, you is important!"
