Jordyn"s 30 Seconds of Fame

Jordyn is full of life and SPUNK! On the way down to Utah we were listening to the radio KSL and people were calling in and they had 30 seconds of fame. You could say whatever you wanted and if the DJ liked you he would keep you on air, if not they would taze you and cut you off. Well a young girl called and said, "So today I got my black belt, and I took a test and ya I got my black belt." Jordyn thought that was so dumb and started to imitate the girl, then had an idea. She wanted to get on the air and do her imitation for the DJ. After many attempts she finally got on. And this is what she said in a ditzy voice, "Ummmm Yaaa soooo today I got a Black belt..... And yaaa I took a test, and I got my blackbelt! COUGARS ROCK! UTES SUCK!" The DJ's loved it and kept her on for about 30 seconds. We all had a good laugh.
It is hard to believe that this outgoing girl who is not afraid to do anything used to be so shy. She has really grown up!

Our weekend with the Fox Family

We went down to Utah to watch the Cougars win another game. It was Jordyn's turn to go with Bill and Brent. After the game we went to get pumpkins and went out to dinner to celebrate Amy's birthday. Our trips down never last long enough, but we always pack in as much fun as we can. We love the Fox family!

Getting ready for some football!

We went to the pumpkin patch. We had fun picking out our pumpkins and taking some pictures of all our beautiful children.

Can you feel the love!

Building an Insulator

Jacob had to build an insulator for a school project. He had to construct it on his own, and use whatever materials he thought would keep an ice cube from melting. He put an ice cube in his insulator and one in a bowl to see which one would melt first. After 1 1/2 hours the cube was completely melted in the bowl, but still solid in his insulator. It was fun project to do!

Jacob is Sick!

Jacob woke up today sick. He came down stairs and said" my stomach hurts". The first thing I thought of was the YMCA. I don't know if it's the gross germs from the pool or just the stomach flu. He spent the day at home feeling pretty bad, and I spent the day taking care of him and bleaching everything!

Long Weekend

The kids were out of school Thursday and Friday, so we had a long weekend. We enjoyed sleeping in which was much needed. Friday we went swimming at the YMCA with Jacob's friend Trey. We didn't stay long because someone got sick in the pool and they cleared us all out. Ya I know, GROSS!!!! I am a germaphobe so I was freaking out. My kids took showers at the Y and again at home. I also kept putting hand sanitizer on them. So far we aren't sick so lets hope and pray all my craziness worked. I don't know why I am such a freak about germs but I can't help it. Well on a better note, this is a picture of our watermelon from our yard, Jordyn gave him a face and named him Schmoolie. Bill and Emily made apple pie! Our home smells so good. Those two love to bake!

Friend! Where have you been?

We've been super crazy lately and haven't had much to blog about. The girls both take 3 dance classes a week, Jacob is starting basketball, and they all have piano lessons each week, plus scouts, activity days, and mutual. Not to mention school and all that homework. So we haven't had time to blog, let alone breathe!
