In lieu of a big brother...

Maycee's cousin Jack loves her so much! In fact I think he loves her as much as a big brother (believe me I know what thats like). He runs to see her the minute we walk in the door, always wants to hold her, and HAS to give her at least one kiss before we leave. I think he is the closest thing she will ever have to a big brother. The classic example of this occured yesterday while we were hanging out at Kristins. I sat Macey on the bed while I removed old toe nail polish and Jack climbed up next to her with his pad of paper and marker. The first thought I had was for Kristins white bed spread then I told him to not draw on Maycee either. I think that just planted the idea in his mind. When I stood up from the ground I found Jack with marker all over his legs and Maycee with some new colorful feet. This is the end product....

Maycee the Model

One of the highlights of where we live is all the young couples we have as our neighbors. We have made lots of good friends since we have been out here and its nice to have people to talk to in our same situation. A couple of our neighbors have some skills in photography and have been so nice to use Maycee as their model. We got some taken when she was about a month and the latest were her 3 month pictures. I can't believe how big she is already and how much she has changed! Love her!

Go Utes!!

This last Saturday was the home opener for the Utes. So great to be back at Rice-Eccles cheering on the Utes to their victory over UNLV. We met up with some of my family for a little pre-game meal, then headed to the stadium and found our seats right on the 50 yd line. Mayce enjoyed the game again and had a great time hanging out with Grandpa. Looking forward to a great season!!

BYU 28 - Washington 27

After going to Michigan last week and wearing red, K.C. had to purify himself and went with Chuck to Seattle for the BYU vs Washington game. It was a great game with a game winning blocked extra point......still on track for an undefeated showdown with Utah in November! Go Cougs and Utes!

It Really Pays To Be Our Friend.....

So ya'll remember back in July our good friend Spanky invited us to attend his taping of "Deal Or No Deal" with him, where he won $263,000 (see the blog post from July)...Well yesterday we watched as our second friend Jessica was a contestant...and she ended up being the first person ever to win the $1 Million! Jessica worked at EFY with us and went on a cruise with us and several other friends a few years ago. We are so exited for her! Click on this link to see a video of her winning the $1 Million. Way to go Jessica!!!!

It has begun...

In a sea of Blue and Maize....

Red sure stands out!!


We headed to Ann Arbor Michigan this last weekend to watch the Utes open up the 2008 college football season. It was an awesome experience and so cool to be in the Big House as part of the crowd of 108,421 people! Maycee did well and enjoyed her first football game while sporting a cute Ute outfit.
