Happy Halloween





For Family Home Evening last night Paul and I carved pumpkins. I will never again buy pumpkins at Macey's, they were SO expensive! We didn't have any patterns so give us a break, it was all free hand. We had fun, but I didn't realize Paul was such a pretty boy. He didn't want to get his hands dirty and touch the slimey stuff inside! That's my favorite part! Although we doubt we will have any trick-or-treaters we bought some candy for anyone that might come. If they don't, I'd be happy to eat all of our tootsie rolls and suckers. :)
Paul's mom finally got home from the hospital after a 3 week stay. She is doing much better and now she can really focus on getting physical therapy and getting her knee moving to wear she can walk well. Keep her in your prayers.

A fun filled weekend

Last night Paul and I went to the Utah Grizzlies Hockey game with my brother Tanner and my dad. In the first two minutes there was a fight, typical. Unfortunately the Grizzlies lost 3-5, but at least Paul and Tanner had a lot of fun cheering on the fights and cheering. On the other hand my dad and I were a little bored, and we were reminded why we don't go to hockey games much. The best part of the night was that my foot and leg got on KSL news! There was a cute little girl in front of us that was shown on the news and my leg got on too! If you want my autograph later, just ask. Paul also got on the Jumbo screen, so we are both pretty famous now.
On Friday, Weber State had a "late night at the gym" with all sorts of games, black light rock climbing and pumpkin carving. Cody, Sherise, Tanner and a few of my friends came up and we formed a dodgeball team for a tournament. Yes, we lost, but we had fun doing it and now Paul and I are super sore! We are such whimps! We also did the rock climbing wall and volleyball, it was a lot of fun.

Finally of age



Yesterday was Amelia's 21st birthday. She wanted to go out to a bar but I wouldn't let her! She laid in bed most of day with a bad migraine, but it eventually it went away and we were able to have some fun. I bought her some roses and a giant candy bar, the real present I bought is suppose to be delivered today so I had to improvise. We went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse, their rolls and butter and are the best ever. I'm proud to say I did not watch the football or baseball games that were on all the tv's around us :) After dinner Kelsey and Megan came over to have some funfetti cake and they gave her a picture frame with a cute saying in it.
On saturday we were out in Grantsville visiting a friend in from out of town, it was good to see him. we also went and carved pumpkins with my cousin Shaun and his wife Emily, our's was declared the better of the two by Shaun's grandma!

Ankle Taping



I realized it had been quite awhile since we posted anything, so here is the update in our lives. Amelia has been so kind to let me pratice my tapping techniques on her. I am not very good at this point and it takes me a little while to do each one. The tape job in the picture is my best one so far, so I had to take of picture on my accompishment. I really like my athletic training class this semester, I really hope I get accepted into the program next month when I apply. Amelia really likes her job at gymboree, she comes home and tells me about all the cute babies that come into the store. This past week my mom had surgery on her knee and she had some complications during surgery. She was in ICU for six days, and just barely got taken out yesterday. My dad has been by her side as much as he possibly can, and the doctors say it has helped to have someone with her all the time. Hopefully she will recover fast and be out of the hospital by the weekend. Keep her in your prayers!
