What the fox hat????

The other night about 11:00 we were laying in bed and my phone rings I am thinking who in the world is calling this late. It was my neighbor and the conversation went as follows:

Mike: hello?
Austin: hey whats going on?
Mike: nothing much just getting ready to go to sleeep.
Austin: did you get a dog?
Mike: What? no
Austin: there is a dog in the back of your truck!
Mike: uhh you think you're funny. did you get me a dog for the back of my truck?

(at this time i get out of bed to look and sure enough there is a small animal staring out the back of my truck)

Austin: We just got home and saw it, it scared the crap out of us. It almost looks like a coyote or something.
Mike: well i don't know what the heck it is. is it alive?
Austin: it looks like it is to me!
Mike: come outside with me and we'll find out what it is.

I hurried and threw on some clothes and headed out the door. I see austin has got a broom. In my state of fear, and it being so late I thought it was a good idea and grabbed my broom too. We got a closer look and sure enough it was a FOX. we whistled at it and tapped the truck like a bunch of wussies to see if it was alive. NO MOVEMENT. Austin got up the nerve and poked it. rock solid. It was frozen. Well the fear was gone and my neighbor and I were left holding our broomsticks like a bunch of morons. Someone pulled off a hell of a prank.

I started thinking who would have left a dead animal carcass in my truck? We had gone to the neighbors house across the street the watch Utah play in the sugar bowl. Walking home brad (my little brother) was parked out front of our house. I assumed he had come over to talk about the game.

Well just as i thought. It was brad. I called my parents house, my dad answered the phone (fully knowing brad had left a dead fox in my truck) I asked for brad and he told me he was in the shower. so i told him what had happened. He started laughing so hard he would have had to of fallen off his bed. He told me some guys had come down to the shop (one of whom is austins bro in law. coincidence) and told brad they left him a present in his truck. brad thought it was so funny he decided to share it with me and my neighborhood.

All in all we had a great laugh. the next morning i decided to take a picture of what had caused the upset the night before.

Against all odds

They have done it!!!!!!
The only team in history to make it to a BCS bowl twice, and once again they have won against all odds. They played an amazing game no excuses it was all utah. Best game ever.

chase

We found this while we were going through our pictures. what a goof.

Sledding!

On Saturday we all decided to go play in the snow. We used Glen and Kathy's Rhino and pulled the kids, Brandy, and the dog in the sled. Here are some of the pictures we took.

Christmas Party!

Sorry everyone I know we haven't posted in forever but it's not our fault. Our internet has been down/ our neighbors went out of town and turned off their wireless router. And if thats not enough we all know things get pretty hectic around the hollidays.
This year we decided to do something a little different for Christmas. Instead of buying the Berlin kids gifts we decided to host a party for the kids and sent their parents off to dinner (with a gift card of course). We had such a blast. We had McDonalds for dinner. We played Twister, Kerplunk, Memory, Don't break the Ice, Hide and seek (Mckinlee decided jumping on the bed was more fun then hiding), A little bit of the wii, and some movies. We even had a sleepover with Chase, Colby, and suprisingly Cooper who usually is ready to go home by 10:00. We did end up getting them a little present though. We sent them home with gift bags filled with; A whoopie cushion, silly string, slinky, fake teeth, and a bottle of coke. I'm sure their parents loved that. They were so much fun and I hope we get a chance to do it again.

Happy Birthday to an Amazing Mom

Twilight for date night!

After much anticipation and begging my husband, I was finally able to go and watch Twilight! Lucky for me I have a loving husband who came with me, despite how much he has hated me reading the books. I get so involved in them I completely disregard all my other responsibilities. All said and done I was very impressed with the movie. Sure it still wasn't as great as the book but it came as close as you can get. I even managed to get Mike to admit that he liked it!

BCS Bowl Bound

What a way to end the season. With a little bit of luck and a whole lot of talent. They have done it again. Thanks to the wonderful skill of Max Hall and killer defensive plays by the Utes. Saturday was a glorious victory.
GO UTES!!! (12-0)
