Nothing's better than watching BSU play ball!

BSU overcomes Fresno State 61-10 for Another Undefeated Season


Ian Johnson ran for 128 yards and scored two touchdowns! The senior tied the WAC record of 57 rushing touchdowns set by Marshall Faulk at San Diego State from 1991-93.

Although the WAC championship trophy was already won last week, Coach Pete dismissed it and celebration until after the game. After the close of the game, Boise State has successfully achieved another undefeated season with a 12-0 record. This will be the third in five years, something no other college team can currently claim.

Black Friday Madness!

4:45 am waiting outside Walmart for the sell frenzy to start. The parking was ridiculous and I had to park in a whole different shopping center!

Plethora of people waiting in lines to pay for their must haves!

$4 pj's, $5 Hanna Montana Doll, and a $29 Bike!

We decided to get our cardio in for the day! This is our new running group!

Shopped till I dropped! Crashed out on the JC Penny's bed. I went to Walmart, Sportsmans, Big 5, Fred Meyers, Deseret Book, Bath and Bodyworks, Vanity and JC Penny's. I brought home a lot of good stuff! It was totally worth the banged up heels, and lack of sleep to get a great deal!

Thanksgiving

Our family has so much to be grateful for this year. Here's what everyone had to say:
Sierra: Thankful for deviled eggs, her elephant and her family
Robbie : Thankful for his Thomas Trains, truck pillow, playing with Sierra
Bridger with Sierra's help: Mommy, Daddy, Doggy
I am so grateful for my good husband and the beautiful children we have. Most of all I am grateful for Heavenly Fathers Plan of Salvation. I am grateful we can be with our families forever. I am also grateful for cell phones, tweezers, treadmills, green lights and a good ole pecan pie! Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
The southern part of me decided to make a few pecan pies for the Thanksgiving feast!

Sierra and all the girl cousins!

Robbie and all the boy cousins!

Bridger and his turkey grub!

Sweet Turkeys

Thanks to Family Fun magazine and all the fun craft and recipe ideas! This magazine has saved my kids from many afternoons of boredom. Here is the kids display of turkeys we made last night!





Who can resist splashing in a huge puddle?!!!

Some mothers are shaking their heads at this, but I say why not?!!! Who can resist splashing in a huge puddle? I admit I had to make a few ripples of my own. We spent the rest of the day with cold freezing feet, but it was all worth it! When we got home we made hot chocolate with marshmallows.

Twilight at Midnight!

Lots and lots of reviews being written about the Twilight movie! I of course have mine, and what I say is obviously right! Overall, I thought the movie was good. I felt like if you haven't read the book, don't go see this movie. This movie would probably appear to be cheesy and would have you feeling there was lack of information to complete the story if having never read the book. There was little time to get to know characters in the movie, so a knowledge before hand is very helpful. This movie could have easily been 5 hours long and of course none of us would have complained, we sat for an hour and a half just waiting for the movie to start. Overall, I loved the actors chosen for all the characters. Jasper was a weird pick, and Jacob wasn't the best actor. I'm sure he'll redeem himself in the next one though. A few of my favorites had to be Carlise, Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, and Bella's parents. They all seemed to follow the characters in the book. It was fun aguring with a friend about how the movie set Bella's room up all wrong from the pictures in our head. I missed seeing Stephanie Meyers in a diner scene. I guess I'll have to go watch it again! I honestly think the sequels will only get better too! So quit wasting your time time on the computer go watch Twilight 50 times so they can make lots of money to put into the sequels.



Thanks to Renee and of course 25% thanks goes to Amy for making sure we had our tickets purchased for the midnight showing of Twilight! It was exciting to know we were some of the first to take a peek in on Edward and Bella's drama on the big screen! We were like a bunch of giddy teenagers. There were a total of 10 in our group, and the theater was sold out! Girls ranging from 12-75 were there and a handful of guys, that let's hope, were just dragged there by girlfiends. One old lady was proud to annouce she was for Team Jacob!

Trick or Treating on the Yellow Brick Road

This year Sierra decided we all needed to take a trip down the Yellow Brick Road. Her and Robbie planned out our whole families costumes. Sierra only wished we had more kids so they could have been the munchkins! Rob and Ang trying to be evil but coming more across like not enjoying ourselves! We actually had a really great time, we just don't do evil well I guess.
"I'll get you my pretty and your candy too!" I actually said this to a bunch of kids on Halloween night. I had some great reactions!
Bridger the Scarecrow, "If I only had a brain!"

Robbie the Tin Man, "If I only had a heart!"

Grandma Warth

We had a lot of fun. The weather was actually good and we were able to enjoy being outside without hiding our costumes behind coats. We went to our ward's trunk or treat and then hit up Grandma and Papa Warth's ward for chili and more trunk or treating. Later that night, Rob and I decided we wanted to show the kids how we trick or treated as kids. No Rob didn't show them the art of smashing pumpkins, just trick or treating door to door the good old fashioned way!







Boo At The Zoo

My sister, April and I took our kids to both the Boo at the Zoo in Pocatello and Idaho Falls. We can't stand missing out on any Halloween fun. Sierra, Robbie, and Bridger placed in 2nd for the group Halloween costumes. Sierra was thrilled when she saw the prize was a huge bag full of more candy! Every kids dream.

We now see where Aylissa gets it from. They have some interesting taste!

Pumpkin Carving

October was our month to host the family FHE. So, for our activity we carved our pumpkins for Halloween. We kinda got a late start so the kids got cranky early on. Robbie loves to use the Jack-O-Laterns as puzzles and try to figure out which pieces match to make it a complete pumpkin again. Sierra enjoyed cleaning the seeds out so we could roast pumpkin seeds and Bridger just wanted to gnaw on the raw pumpkin! We had a great time and had fun spending time with the family. Next year we should really consider a pumpkin carving contest!


I think Sierra and I could have been the only ones enjoying this!




Bridger is either teething or just really enjoys eating raw pumkin!
