AGGIE FOOTBALL!!

What a great year for Aggie Football!!!
We were 6-0 in our conference, 11-2 overall. The USU Aggies have not had more than 9 wins since 1961 when Merlin Olsen played! We were the outright WAC champs, 18th in the AP poll and 20th in the Coach's Poll, and won our Bowl game which hasn't happened since 1993! What an exciting season!

Evan knows what's up.


Making history! People rushing the field after claiming the WAC title.

And we're off to the Potato Bowl in Boise!

  Decorated the car for the drive.

 We found Santa at the Pep-rally!

 Free Chick-fil-A sandwiches before the game!
 

Big Blue.

(Robert is T's friend from Texas that played FB with him last year)


Aggie Ice Cream! De-licious!

 We put tattoos on our faces and made some game day posters.

 Perfect weather for football!
 





Wrapping up 2012

Just needing to sum up 2012 since my last post. Here are a few of the fun things we've been up to. Of course there is our awesome football season, but that deserves it's own post. So that is soon to come.
 

My brother, Tanner, and his wife went through the Logan Temple. It was a wonderful day and it was great to see some of the Richins family that I haven't seen in years.


Back: Curtis and Michelle Richins, Dave and Janet Treadaway, My mom and Dave, Carly and Danny Seamons, Katelyn's Parents, Kelli and BJ Davis, Me and Jason, John (Katelyn's bro) and his wife (?). Front: Grandpa Richins, Katelyn and Tanner.




My mom's friend puts on an awesome haunted house in her backyard every year. Payment is a can of food for the food bank. She even had a G-rated course. But mom and I were brave and took the PG-13 course. I'll be honest, it was pretty scary! We actually went through it twice, it was THAT good. I filmed it, but unfortunately you can't see anything, only hearing the screams of young children. Ha ha! Can't wait to go again next year!



My sister moved to Grand Junction, Colorado. Mom and I went to visit her for a weekend. We built our first snowman of the season in Spanish Fork with things from the car. Mom's coat hood, airfreshners for arms, tootsie rolls for eyes... Yeah, we're creative. We went to the Colorado National Monument Park. Which was pretty nifty, except the fact that it was freezing cold!


 




Feeling crafty! Made my mom a turkey so she had at least one Thanksgiving decoration. A couple name boards for some new babes. A strawberry shortcake-cake for my friend's little girl's 2nd birthday.





Me and Ivie


A couple of our good friends, Brent and Rachel, treated us to a Jazz game VIP -style! We were fed before the game, and at half time. We were 6 rows from the court (even though our tickets said row 2) but we were still on the cushy seats! It was great! And the Jazz won!

This is why I hate having a stranger take our picture....
Because I really wanted the back of some dude's head!


The Christmas Card:


And this picture was my brother's birthday gift to me. Ain't he thoughtful? :)
He was in China for Christmas with his girlfriend and her family, and it was cold so they had to find something for him to wear to keep warm. Apparently, all they could find was her mom's pj's. I think he makes them look good. :)

Hiking Card Canyon

Cooper, Mom, and I went for a nice little hike up Card Canyon (which is up Logan Canyon, for those who don't know). The leaves had hit their peak in color a week or so before, but they were still BEAUTIFUL! 

I love fall!

As we were driving up, we saw this and told my mom we HAD to stop. I'm so glad we did! 

 

We had a great time! Looking forward to next year already!

Kenna turns 21!

Crazy to believe that my little sister is now 21! Not only that, but she has just moved to Colorado. So happy for her, and wish her the best!

For her party we had a (alcohol-free for most) 21st casino bash!
