BYU game

This weekend Kenny and Jane were in town and we all got together to watch the BYU-Airforce game. Dad and Tryg in their true blue!

Someday I'll actually be big enough to hold this thing!

The boys hanging out. I think BYU was losing at this point, they don't seem very happy.

And what are the girls doing? Well, let's see Tami is obviously thouroughly involved in the game :).

And Jane can't keep her eyes off it. We won 38-24! Go Cougars!!

So you know how most families have the latest and greatest video game systems? Well, not us... we've got PAC-MAN! That's right, good old fashioned PAC-MAN. And if that's not enough excitement for one night we've got Atari's original Pong, Centipede and Break Out. This was one of our recent family nights.

Dad was the champion.

Luke pretending to play. I'm not sure what the headphones were for but apparently he thought they were necessary. The Lightening McQueen slippers didn't hurt his score either.

How did mom do? Well let's just say maybe I should have tried the headphones and Lightening McQueen slippers.

Enough cords??? Yikes. Good times :)

Halloween

So, apparently I take my cookie decorating pretty seriously....

C'mon though, look at the detail on this ghost!

Jake, Danny, and Dylan putting as much candy as possible on their cookies. It's not like they wont get enough trick-or-treating :)

Luke helping Uncle Brandon out with his pumpkin.

So I guess 1 knife was not enough. "This is definitely going to take two!"

Dylan doesn't like the "icky guts" stuff. He's more the architect behind the scenes.

Luke and his awesome costume thanks to Uncle Brandon for his UPS hook up and Dad for his homemade dolly. He was definitely the hit of the Trunk or Treat.

What a group...Allie-the mystical green fairy with her "piece of junk" wings (her words, not mine), Luke - your local delivery man, and Grandpa with Tryg-the furry blue glow in the dark monster :).
