Q

Turning 6---blah..blah..blah!

I can hardly believe it, but I am not only a senior citizen..but an old lady! To help me over this first hard birthday, our children gave me two tickets to all of the BYU home football games! They are wonderful children, don't you think? I have always known they were the best kids ever!

Rod went with me to the first one. BYU vs Florida State. We were so excited to go and then....BYU lost! not just lost, but hardly showed up to play. It was fun anyway. We hadn't been in the stadium for a couple of years. There is nothing like it.

The second game was with Utah State. Rod had a cold and didn't want to go. I asked Carson to go with me. We sat on the East side this time and were in the shade the entire game. It was great. Carson was a great sport to go with his old grandma. We had a good time eating snow cones, ( or whatever you call a ice cone in a cup!) and then some kettle corn. We were sorry we didn't see the huge maple bars sooner. I had spent my wad! We both vowed, next game we would have one! The game was good. The weather was good and the company was wonderful!

The Colorado State game was a night game. The weather was wonderful. The moon coming up over Y mountain was just a lovely sight. Only a true BYU fan would write that sentence! Rod went with me again. We had great seats. Down low on the East side. We smuggled in pine nuts to eat, what could be more fun?

Next up is the Homecoming game with TCU. Can't wait!

More Pumpkins

We live in the pumpkin capital of Utah. There are fields of pumpkins everywhere. Luke's kindergarten class went on a field trip to a pumpkin farm. It just so happened they they picked a field just down the rode from our house. I went over to the farm to pick him up when they were ready to load up to go back to school. I was a little early so I watched for a few minutes. The teacher gave them all a clip board. They were to do a survey. They were to find pumpkins of all kinds. Yellow, orange, big, round...etc . It was fun to see them all with their clip boards and pencils making tally marks, running around and laughing. The teacher is very calm and kind. I guess you have to be to be a kindergarten teacher.

After they handed in their clip boards they lined up for a picture. Luke was sitting in the front with some boys. Then he jumped up and climbed up to the top row and sat by a little girl. He was laughing and talking with her. Later I asked him what her name was and he said "Sarah ". I think he is just a little smitten with her. He is a lady's man!

Luke's friend Ethan had a party.

Hayden, Cam, Luke, Kai, Carter and Ethan waiting for their turn on the wagon. Ethan turned 4 and invited the neighborhood boys to the Apple barn in Santaquin for a pumpkin party. They rode on the wagon to the pumpkin patch where they picked out a pumpkin that their "man arms" could carry. Back at the barn, Ethan's mom, Anne broke out the cupcakes and the boys sang the happy birthday song without being prompted by anyone! I wonder what this neighborhood will be like in ten years when these boys are all Aaronic Priesthood holders, passing and blessing the sacrament, teenagers, girls (?). Won't it be fun! I can count 6 more boys younger and a couple older that weren't at the party all living within 100 yards of Sara's house. What a great neighborhood for boys to learn and grow.
