Sugar Bowl Victory !!!
Most of you know that Sheri is an avid football fan and cheers the loudest for her Runnin' Utes!! They have had an amazing season (of which she enjoyed a game from her parent's season tickets ... a tradition that dates back to her high school days when she pleaded with her parents to get season tickets). They went 12-0 and beat some amazing teams like Michigan, Oregon and the arch rival BYU!! They were invited to the Sugar Bowl to play Alabama and everyone thought they would lose, but those Utes, proved them wrong. Their first 3 possessions resulted in 3 touchdowns and it just got better and better! While watching Sheri was cheering, yelling, closing her eyes and had to take a few breaks to bring her blood pressure back to normal! With their victory, the Utes got a bit of respect (they are now ranked #2 in the nation by the AP) and they are the only football to have a perfect unbeaten season in the whole country! I love my Runnin' Utes!!!

Christmas 2008

We had a great Christmas this year. On Christmas Eve we went to Grandma's house for some cookie decorating. Logan was more excited about eating a cookie than decorating, but he did manage to get a few cookies decorated. We then went to GG's (great grandma & grandpas) house for our traditional Christmas party. We ate, played the traditional Christmas bingo, acted out the nativity, sang songs and a special visitor left presents outside for the kids. Logan loved opening the presents and was a big helper to others who needed their presents opened.

Christmas morning brought lots of presents and snow. Logan was excited to see that Santa left him a new train set. He LOVES Thomas the train! As a parent, it was fun to watch him get excited about Christmas! He even helped Grandpa pass out the presents!

There was also plenty of snow left for us on Christmas Day. My brother dug out the old snowmobiles and we each got a tour around the neighborhood. It was Kevin's first experience on a snowmobile and he came back smiling. I'm not sure if it was the fun of it or the fact that it was freezing and the grin was frozen to his face! The snowmobiles were put away and tracks were all covered up just in time to see the police officer driving around the neighborhood looking for us. It sure was fun!!
