Halloween at Wheeler Farms

This Saturday Bizzie, Steve, their nephew Harvey, Jazella, and I went to Wheeler farms in SLC. It was a great time. We went on a hay ride, walked through a haunted hay maze with spooky ghosts, and got to pick a pumpkin from the "pumpkin patch". It was a little chilly out but we were lucky it didn't rain on us. Thanks biz, for finding a fun outing!

This little bum

This little bum's kidneys are starting to improve!

We're pretty happy, and the Doctor seems to think things will be "normal" by our next visit, in 6 months.

PS if you never knew there was anything wrong with his kidneys don't fret, we never really made a big deal out of it, cause we've always been told it isn't too big a deal.  It's hydronephrosis if you are curious.

Bad Sandy

Here are some pictures finally of me hosting the Grease-themed Mr. USU, an all male "beauty contest" which is kind of a big deal during Homecoming week. I, however, did not realize it was such a big deal until I was dressed as Sandra Dee in front of a sold-out crowd. It was a lot of fun, but I was relieved when it was over! *photographs by Laurbie, inc.

Food & Folklore help

Hey family--for my Food & Folklore class this semester I need stories. That is our assignment. Incidentally, here are two questions and if anyone has story answers I would love to hear them.

What stories does our family have about our favorite things we eat for dinner or whatever?
Do you know any stories about cannibalism? Personal, ones you've heard or read in news, or anything..doesn't even have to be "true".

Please respond asap as if you have an answer I want to use for class I have to have my story typed up by Monday night's class.

New photos for your viewing pleasure..

I'm posting some pictures I have of the family lately. Here's us on our hike to White Pine lake, the boys from Edward's Apple orchard, and me and the rents messing around at home. Love you all!

Back in Utah!

It feels so crazy to be back! I am loving my new place it's so weird only having one roommate (Cecily) but I love it. We are working on getting our place together and still have a little way to go so I 'll post updated pictures when it's finished. I start school tomorrow and work, I am so excited / nervous for both! My first class is at 8:30 which hopefully won't be too bad but we'll see..

Sweet Dreams

As most of you know, I've diagnosed myself as suffering from night terrors. Last night I had a particularly dramatic one that I thought I would share with you. I had a dream that a little girl was running and going to jump out a window (a la Hudsucker Proxy except that it was an open window). I, being the chivalrous man I am, decided to make a leap for the girl and keep her from going out the window. Apparently, as all this was going on in my head the rest of me decided to make a real life leap toward my own window (which is about 2-3 feet from my bed). Whilst I did not go out the window myself I did crash rather hard into the wall/radiator with my knee. Thankfully, my knee escaped this ordeal relatively unscathed, but I'm afraid I can't say the same about our poor radiator.





Consequently, if anyone has some tips on fixing radiators on the cheap I'm all ears.
