Weekend of Football....USU vs. UofU

Last weekend Kevin and I decided to ride to Logan on our motorcycles to go watch USU and UofU face off in a football game. Well, it wasn't much of a game, USU got hammered!!!!!! Our seats were in the middle of a bunch of UofU fans, equipped with a huge retractable flag pole on the end of which was a UofU flag that they would wave when their team was doing well.....which was the whole time!! Towards the end I think they felt so bad for the home team that they put the flag away. Poor USU, they got stomped on their own home turf.

Anyways, it was going to be too late to ride all the way back to Park City that night so we had made plans to stay with Ashlee and Josh. When we arrived in Logan, before we headed to the game, we dropped off our stuff at their house. KayBree and Daimen were so excited to see us until they found out that we weren't staying for long. So, being the SUCKER for my "kids" that I am, I promised that I would take them to get ice cream after Kevin and I got back from the game. Because of the horrible butt kicking that USU was getting we decided to leave a bit early. When we finally got back to Ashlee's the first thing that KayBree said to me is "We've been waiting all night long!!!!!" Daimen of coarse pipes up "Yeah, Eefa! We waitin for ice ceem long time". So, off we went to Charlie's Ice Cream Parlour to get the kids the treat I had promised.

It was such a site to see...... Ashlee the kids and I smashed into the back seat, Josh driving (like a maniac) and Kevin TRYING to cram his large self into such a tiny car! The whole way there Daimen had to tell me that he was going to get gubble bum (bubble gum) ice cream, which turned out to be very blue and not at all tempting. KayBree got a chocolate dipped vanilla soft serve ice cream cone, which she immediately ate all the chocolate off before she started on the ice cream. We found a table inside but the kids decided they wanted to eat outside.....we got outside and the kids immediately found out it was too cold, they lasted less than a minute and we were off to the car to head home.

Okay, I just have to say how amazed I am with bedtime at the Raisor's house. All Ashlee did was tell the kids to get their pj's on and then told them to get into bed and closed their doors. That was it!!!!!! No fussing, no problem! Wow! Also, KayBree has these really cool underwear that, I was told, beep at her if she starts to pee the bed. What will they come up with next?

Ashlee, Josh, Kevin and I decided to stay up and watch movies. After going over the movie selection that they already had available we decided to run to Hollywood Video to rent something new. Obviously, we also had to get some munchies to complete movie night!!!!!! Popcorn, peanut M&M's, Sour Patch Kids and Lemon Heads......all the good stuff!

The next morning Daimen and I woke up first (although I never really got to sleep thanks to my husband SNORY) and we decided to watch the cartoon movie All Dogs Go to Heaven and eat the remaining popcorn and M&M's. Soon KayBree joined us. Then I had the kids go jump on the mattress Kevin was sleeping on to wake him up. They had a blast jumping around and I had a great time watching and laughing. After they successfully woke Uncle Kevin up we decided to go to IHOP for breakfast.

After breakfast Ashlee and her family had to get ready to go to church and we needed to get on the road to get back home. We also needed to stop in Morgan to see Amy and the new sludge baby she had delivered a couple of days before. Amy, being the lil' Helen that she is, insisted on doing TOO much TOO soon, so she was moving a bit slow. We stayed long enough for Conner to read me 6 books that he got from school. Wow, my "kids" are all getting so big!!!!!! Back on the road and homeward bound........all and all it was a fun good weekend, but it seemed to last so LONG!!!!

Thanks Ashlee and Josh for letting us stay with you! I already miss the kids! Oh, I forgot to mention that Daimen can spell his name for you all by himself!!!!!!!

Amy, would you please rest so you can heal properly! STUBBORN bee-otch!!!!!!!

Love you both SISTERS!!!!!
