September-
1-On the 25th, We went to the Utah Utes game. They played against the San Jose State Spartans. We had a Blast. Carter stayed with Grandma Kathy and Jeff &Lorraine. We didn't think He would have fun sitting through the whole game, so Grandpa Glen came instead. It was My first Utah football game and I absolutely loved it! The boys were so fun to watch. They were so excited and really got into the game. We can't wait to go again.
2-Chase's Football team got to take part in the Union High halftime show. His team and another Roosevelt team got to scrimmage for about 10-15 minutes. Chase was able to make a big play on defense by tackling the running back behind the line of scrimmage. They announced His name over the loud speaker and He was ecstatic!!! As We were leaving the game that night, He mentioned that there is just something about those Friday night lights that made Him want to play His best!!! He is such a character.
October-
3-My Grandpa Blanchard celebrated his 90th Birthday. We threw him a big surprise party. It was great. He was grinning all night long. Happy Nintieth Birthday Gramps, I Love you so much!
4-For Halloween we dressed up as Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus and had four of the cutest little Elves. They weren't very happy Elves as they didn't like being dressed up as Santa's helpers. We sure looked good. For their Candy bags they used stockings and we handed out Christmas candy to everyone at our trunk or treat. It was fun to spread some Christmas cheer in October.
5- We had our annual Halloween party at Kathy's this year. It was a great time. Brian and I were the only adults who dressed up. He was a cowboy and I was Jessie from Toy Story. Carter was Woody. Chase and Cooper were Utah Football Players and Colby was a "Gangsta Nerd" The pics will explain ;) We had fun halloween food, a Ghost cake, and the funniest games (The pics will also explain this ;).
November-
6-November came and went by so fast, We celebrated Thanksgiving at our house this year. It was a good time with great food, family, and fun. We had my Grandma and Grandpa Blanchard, My Parents, and My Sister and Her kids over this year. We had a really enjoyable time. I'm so thankful for all the many Blessings that Heavenly Father has given to Me. Especially Brian and my boys. I am truly blessed.
7-Carter Super Glued his fingers together. It was so funny to watch him try and clean the glue off his fingers. He couldnt stand the dried on glue. He was so distraught and could hardly function. He was so relieved when We finally got it all off.
8- On the 27th, Brian took Chase to the Utah Utes vs BYU Game. This was part of Chase's Christmas this year. They also went to the TCU game as well, but there wasn't much worth mentioning about that game ;) They had a blast. They were grinning from ear to ear in all of the pictures they took. They went early and did the Ute walk where Chase got to give high fives to all of the players and coaches, He even got a free T-shirt. The game was a little slow starting, but it sure got pumped up in the 4th quarter. The Utes came back from being down 13-0, to Win 17-16. After the Utes won the Game, Brian, Chase and Jeff rushed out of the stands and down on to the field. Brian got some great pics of Chase with his favorite players Shaky Smithson and Matt Asiata, as well as many more. It was a great day for both of them. The Boys and I had a fun time watching the game on TV and cheering on the Utes from home. I'm not much of a football fan, but I absolutely love watching Utah play. Colby couldn't figure out why I was screaming so much at the TV. It was a real nail biter, but a great game. And best of all, THEY WON!!!
9- Chase and Colby both lost a tooth on the same night within minutes. They both got three bucks from the tooth fairy.
