Saturday

Yesterday we went up to Cedar for the day. One of our good friends is pregnant and so we put on baby shower for her. While all the girls were at the shower the boys went and played football. Then we went and watched the Utah/BYU game. It was so much fun being back up in Cedar with all of our friends. It made me sad to have to leave. It was so much fun living in Cedar last year where there were so many young couples like ourselves. But we are happy here and are slowly making more and more friends.

Here are some pictures of yesterday.

Yummy cookies that I made. I will post the recipe later.

Bantam Wrestling

I love Fridays. Today Hurricane's Football team played in the State Championship game against Juan Diego at Rice Eccles Stadium. Sadly, they lost 21-18 in a close fought game. The game started at 10:30 this morning so today at the Middle School, we mostly just watched the game during classes. I was lucky enough to have lunch and Prep during the 2nd half of the game so I didn't have to worry about being a teacher. I went into the shop teachers classroom and watched the game with him and his students. It was fun to just had a nice layed back day at school for the teachers and the students. It was also a nice day because I only had 1/2 my students in class. The rest were up in SLC watching the game. I had 28 out of 58 students in my 1st period and then 24 out of 49 in my 2nd hour. It made me wish I had that few of students everyday.

Because so many students were gone, and 7 out of 10 girls on my basketball team were up at the game, we didn't have basketball practice after school. I decided I was going to make cookies for my friend's baby shower tomorrow morning. While I was home baking cookies and cleaning house (like a good wife would do) Colten was gone to wrestling practice and then they had a bantam tournament for the little guys that Colten had to help with. Which is why I am posting this blog anyways after going to the high school to watch them. I have decided that I don't think I want my little boys to wrestle when they are young. Almost every other kid that wrestled ran off the mat crying to their parents. I know if my boys ever did that I would be embarrassed that they are wimps. No, I don't really know how I would feel, but I can only imagine that those boys who run off crying end up not liking the sport of wrestling. Being married to a former state champion wrestler, I am pretty sure that he is going to want his boys to like wrestling. So my whole point is that Bantam Wrestling is only for extremely tough kids or for future basketball players. :)

Here are some pictures of Colten refereeing the matches. I didn't have my camera with me but this was such a "bloggable moment" I took them on my cell phone.

Twilight

Are the books really that good? :)
I am not quite finished with Breaking Dawn yet, but they have kept my interest so far. I am also excited to see the movie but I probably won't be the type to go wait in line for tickets on opening night. Do you think I can drag Colten to go with me sometime?
The quiz tells me that I am Esme, the motherly type I guess (just not a mother yet!) Who are you?


Take the Quiz and Share Your Results!

I made Colten take the dumb quiz and he is Jacob! Are you serious? I don't like Jacob. I guess we aren't really a good match for each other.

What Happens in Vegas...

... stays in Vegas!

This past weekend some of our friends from Cedar came down to our house on Friday evening to spend the night. Then on Saturday we made plans to go down to Las Vegas to spend the day and go do a temple session.

We all had to try on Colten's "shapkas" from his mission.



These are two pictures from Fremont Street.

But the best part of the whole day was being able to go to the temple. We had great time there and it's amazing the difference from being in the temple and then being in the rest of the "world".

State Champions!

I am finally a State Champion! This time I was an assistant coach instead of a player, but it still feels pretty exciting.


The volleyball team I helped coach at Hurricane High School won their first ever state championship. It was so awesome! They had an amazing tournament not even losing a single game in a match. The beat out #1 ranked Morgan in the Semi-finals match and #2 ranked Carbon in the Finals.


All of the girls did an amazing job. I am so proud of them!

WAY TO GO TIGERS!

Below are the 3 female coaches on the staff. We were way excited and had to have our moment with the trophy! Coach Rayla, Coach Krista and Me.
