Handsome Boy

Just wanted to post Jordan's first ever "school" picture. Isn't he handsome? Looks a lot different from that orphan boy from a few weeks ago, huh? I know it's just because he's my kid, but I think he's so stinkin' cute! I still kiss him all the time, and luckily he still likes it.

Not a whole lot has been happening around here. Last weekend, Josey and I left our kids with my parents and we drove over to Glenrock, WY (5 hour trip) to watch Kemmerer play in the state championship football game. They had gone undefeated all season, but they lost the game 18-0 against a tough (also undefeated) team. So that was a bummer, but it was fun to have just a little break from the kids. It's the first time I've had a night without Jarrett and the boys did great. Jordan did call my mom a "mean grandma", and she got a real kick out of that.

This weekend we get to go to Bozeman, MT to watch Josey's sister Arielle play in her state volleyball tournament. The boys are very excited to see their other grandma and grandpa. A few weeks ago Jordan told me, "we haven't seen our Montana grandma for a very long time" so I decided to push Josey into letting us go watch Arielle play. He started coaching basketball this week, and he's very busy and already starting to feel the stress. He's also working on his master's degree and trying to implement some new things in his teaching, and I think he feels he's being pulled from all directions, so hopefully this will be a little break for him and not just a time when he's worried about everything else. Sometimes I wish I could do more to alleviate his stress, but I'm thankful he loves us so much and does so much for us.

By the way, does everyone else see this little Photobucket icon on my blog? Does anyone know how to get rid of it? And where did my background go? Probably the virus that I downloaded a couple of weeks ago (that Josey is still really mad at me about) has something to do with it.

Happy Halloween!

Here are some pictures of our cute little dinosaurs. A few people thought they were dragons, but they were T-Rex's. A really sweet lady in our ward made the costumes for them. I wish I could say it was me, but I'm not quite so talented. The boys had a great time trick-or-treating, but they were really worn out. As soon as we got home and took off Jarrett's costume, he ran into his room to climb into his crib.


Before trick-or-treating, Josey carved some pumpkins with the boys. As soon as they started cleaning the 'guts' out, Jordan covered his nose and ran into the bathroom and barfed. Gross, I know, but he has a really weak stomach, and the smell of the pumpkins made him sick. So he missed out on a little bit of the fun, but he still loved his daddy's BYU pumpkin. (And wasn't that game on Saturday a little bit too much of an emotional roller coaster? I said some not-so-nice words to Max Hall, and then they turned around and amazingly pulled the win from somewhere.)
