A Little HELP

We have a problem.

Our second born is much too creative for me and my hubby.
Here is a project he wanted us to complete with him.

He just wanted us to help him build a nutcracker.
He had everything worked out (in his head).
He even had figured out what and how many parts we needed.

The PROBLEM is
we are not that crafty
and we are NOT good at shaping and painting wood.

We tell him this and his next request...
build a Buzz-Saw Louie.

It seems simple enough to him,
but much too complicated for us.

Everybody Get JAZZED

JAZZ tickets, lower bowl:

$ too much money $

Dinner at the concession stands:
$16.00

Spending one on one time with Son number three:
(or any of my children for that matter)

Priceless


We had a GREAT time at the JAZZ vs ORLANDO game,
even though we had to walk over a mile
in the frigid single degree COLD weather,
and even though we didn't get home till 11:30 PM.

The JAZZ won,
and it was fun to watch my son enjoying the game
LIVE
up close
and in person.

GO BYU

I got to go to the BIG game on Saturday.
BYU vs UofU

And an intense game it turned out to be.
First Utah was on and scoring,
then BYU went on a scoring run,
and in the fourth quarter
Utah tied up the game to send it into OT.

It was a great way to spend a holiday weekend afternoon
and I was lucky enough to spend it with

my OLDEST son,
father-in-law, brother-in-law,
my brother and two of his boys,

And this AMAZING man, my DAD.

In overtime,
BYU pulled off the win
and I went home
happy.

Sick?

I am not feeling well and neither
is my hubby.

This was NOT on my TO-DO list
the day before THANKSGIVING.

But sickness comes whether you are anticipating it or not.

After going to the DR.
it is confirmed.
We both have STREP.

So with our antibiotics,
and a car full of kids,
we head off to our Thanksgiving destination.
Hopefully the kids will all stay healthy.

This was supposed to be a post
about all the things I am THANKFUL for.

I guess right now I am THANKFUL my sickness isn't the swine flu?!?


Happy Thanksgiving
