UEA

This past weekend was UEA. The kids and I had such a fun and busy weekend. Our weekends are usually pretty lazy around here. This is how our long weekend went.

Thursday:
*We picked my little sister up went over to the way ghetto dollar movie and saw Wall-E

*Then headed over to Gardner Village to see the Witches


My sister is 15 and was completely mortified I made her get in on the pictures

*BYU lost

Friday:
*Headed back over to the way ghetto dollar movie again and saw Star Wars The Clone Wars

*My mom works with a lady who turns her garage and yard into a haunted house. Very cool. I kind of went expecting the worse, I mean, we've all seen the neighborhood "haunted yard" before. But this family really did a great job. Lexi was terrified and JJ and my 8 yr old niece LOVED it. I think they went through 5 or 6 times. The only part of my weekend where I forgot my camera. I'm trying to carry it with me all the time. I love everybody's pictures and I feel like I never have any.

Saturday:
*Lexi had her first dance performance of the season at the Scarecrow festival.




*Jared had gotten tickets for the Utah game, so right after Lexi danced we left there and made it to the game just after the 1st quarter started. The seats were great. 6 rows up from the 30 yard line. Yes, for those that may have missed it, Utah won.



Sunday:
*We took the kids to the Kennecott Coppermine. Lexi's reflections theme for school was "Wow" and she wanted to do photography. She originally wanted to go up the canyon and take pictures of the leaves, but Jared thought the mine with the all the big trucks would be a more original idea. So we headed up there for her to take her pictures. I've never been before. Its pretty cool. My brother in-law drives the haul trucks and he's said before it takes 2 ladders to climb in. I just never imagined the trucks to be so big.



*And to top off my weekend.....The Red Sox lost!! Jared and I were cheering for Tampa Bay like they were the Yankees. What a game!

Ohhh, how sad....NOT!

What a busy weekend! Go Utes, that was an awesome game! And hey, the Sox still made it farther than the Yankess, so Go Sox!

WHEW, glad the red sox lost. Brandon said he wouldn't watch the world series if they were in it. Hah.

Busy weekend indeed... I miss that fall stuff too.

Go Utes. We may be the only fans here in Hawaii, but we still love those Utes.

I love the picture of your cute kids in that yucky Utah gear. I was cheering for Tampa Bay too. I'm glad the Red Sox lost, but this is going to be the worlds most boring World Series.
