Giant Pumpkin Weigh Off Festivities

A couple of weeks ago Chad and I had the pleasure of taking our friend Rick's pumpkin to the Utah Giant Pumpkin Weigh Off just down the street from us. The pumpkins were enormous and it took a fork lift to move them around. The heaviest one was unfortunately not Rick's. The winner weighed over 1000 pounds. Just shy of the state record of 1104. That's a lot of pumpkin pies:) You can obviously see by the ominous clouds that it was very rainy and cold. Not the fun part. That's for sure. Here is Chad trying to pose with Rick's pumpkin as his own!

Our Yard is In!

After many hours of hard work and sweat (mostly Chad's because I was conveniently working everyday we did sod) our yard is finally in. The decorative curbing, rv pad, fence, and sprinkler system are all done too. Chad has decided never to do a yard again. If there is a next house we will only take it if the yard is put in. Also many thanks to Rick, Roman, Blake, and Nate as well for there help. It looks great and next spring we'll be able to put in our plants and a tree. YES!

Our First Blog and My First Real Soccer Game

So this is our first posting. I have know idea how to use this whole blogspot thing. Hopefully, I can learn all the tricks to the trade here. I guess it won't be hard to find out because everyone has a freaking blog!!! Now we are just as dorky as everyone else:) This is a picture of the Rio Tinto Stadium where the Real Soccer team plays. My mom won us tickets at her work so we had seats on the front row of the second balcony right in the center of the field. It was really fun but I made Chad leave 5 minutes early cause I have the nervous 'I can't be stuck in traffic' itch inherited from my Dad. He always made us leave early from everything and now I get anxious if we don't. Right when we were walking down the stairs we could here "GOAL, GOAL, GOAL!'. Oops. My bad. Oh they were already winning.....
