Michael's Birthday

So Michael had a birthday recently. Erin, David, and Zach came over on the Saturday. We watch a movie and ate a cake that Erin made.

 Here's us singing.

Hair Cuts

So Michael posted on Facebook that he made an appointment for a hair cut.  I think people were expecting more from that remark then they should have.

We have the before shots, which are the next 2.  Michael doesn't like how it flips out.

The Day of: after the hairdresser straightened it.  Next 4.

 The next two are a whole day after he straightened it himself.

 He likes it. he thinks it looks better than before, but thinks he'll like it better in a month or two.

Halloween 2010

So there were a lot of Halloween parties that Michael and I went too.  All very fun.

 The Ward Party.  We kidnap Zach and made him dress up as Sonic.  Michael was Pikachu. I was a stage hand person.

 At the West Fest oh 10.

They had lots of games there and we watch Hocus Pocus (which is an Anderson Favorite that I had not seen before this).  Michael was Pikachu again and I didn't feel like dressing up, but I did wear a cool hat.

But this is Linford and Caroline eating donuts.

 Franklin, Mica, and 1st cosine once removed.

 He had the right idea of using his hands.

Casey Jones and Leo watching the donuts eating contest.

We also had other get togethers that I did not take pictures of--I was lazy those times.  Michael and Zach dressed up and walked around campus--Michael as Sonic and Zach as Pikachu (I believed that they ran into Ash).  Went to Lee and Becky's and watched Murdered by Death.  The Wilde Halloween Party--Michael as Pikachu and I as Sonic (we also went to Wal*Mart dressed up). 

Home Coming Parade

So we went to BYU's Home Coming Parade.  We went early and had free, blue pancakes.  They were good.

This is us waiting near the Creamery for the Parade to get to us.

 The beginning of the Parade!

 Yay for the color guard

 The Band--They were playing the fight song, so Allison was able to see how much she remembered of it.  She went home and practiced some more

 Cosmo!

 George Q. canon

 Some cool dancers.

 It was also a ninja parade

 a Smart Car

 Elephant!

The last float.  Don't worry, we saw them taking turns with the running.

Be jealous that you didn't get to go to the BYU Home Coming Parade.

Priesthood Session

Between the Saturday afternoon and Priesthood session, We went and had dinner with James and Charity.  While James and Michael went to Priesthood, Allison went with Charity and some of her friends to a Corn Maze. 

 Allison got to sit in the back seat with these fine fellows.

All About Isaac Really

So Isaac turned one recently, like 2 months ago, but he only had a birthday party about 1 month ago.  Well someone, or multiple of someones, make a cool Robot cake and some cake pops. Both of which were delicious.

.

 James cutting the Cake...Isaac was a little too small to do it himself.

Some singing of "Happy Birthday"

We also got to babysit Isaac for a little while, when his parents were at a cosine's wedding, which was fun.

 Here he is smashing the recycling down.  To me it looked a lot like churning butter.

 Here he would put the ball in the cup and get it stuck. Then try to get it out.  When that was successful, he would then put the ball back in.

At one point Michael called his family to talk with them.  Of course Isaac wanted to play with the cellphone, but Michael wouldn't let him.  So Isaac just cuddled with Michael while he talked.  It was cute and I should have taken a picture, but didn't.  After Michael was done talking to his family he called Allison's phone, and we had fun with the echos. We then drove him up to the wedding reception.

Stake Opening Social

It was a western theme.  The food was good and they had fun games.  We brought Zach along with us. Zach and Michael had fun playing horse shoes.  I even have pictures to prove it.

Zach falling suit.

The 2 also played a game involving watermelon and playing cards.  The object was to throw as many card into the open face watermelon (they had it sliced and propped up) in a minuet or so.  Michael was good at it.  Zach kept getting a card to stick the wrong way, it was laying flat up against it, preventing any other cards from getting into the watermelon.  I don't have pictures to prove it.

Talks

 So one of my goals for the year was to read conference talks before the next General Conference. (I might not make it).  Today I read this one Tell Me the Sroties of Jesus by Elder Neil L. Andersen. Now, I do have a strong testimony that Jesus is the Christ.  But I don't talk of him much (now, this could be because I don't talk much in general).  Jesus Christ is a large part of my life, I should talk of him more in my life.  I now may have to make a new goal for life.  It shouldn't be hard to talk and share the stories of Jesus.

I just wanted to share.  Now back to school work: Future Trends of Disasters. (What I've found so far from research is that disasters are going go up. The times before Jesus comes again. (I'm working on improving already)).

The Hogle Zoo

We went to the Hogle Zoo together.  I think we were able to see everything. 

Of course we saw the Elephants!

This is baby Zuri.

I love elephants!

This little weighing this tells you if you weigh as much as a baby elephant or rhino, as much as a elephant can carry and thing like that.  It was off by 50 lbs or so.  Don't worry Zach does not weigh 200lbs, I'm pretty sure that Chet is not the weighing pad as well.

There was glass separating us and the monkeys and there was a branch or something that came right up to the glass.  The monkey came right up to the glass looking at us, so Chet got the camera up to the monkey's face and took a picture.

Random Activities with the Andersons

We did a bunch of different activities that week that the Andersons were here.  Some of them I didn't get pictures of.

Here is Dad and Kylee playing Scatagories.  We also played Phase 10, Faces and Yahtzee.

This is Michael, Connor, and Erin talking to Kylee on the other side of the room in the Eyring Science Building.  We also went to the Bean Museum and Museum of Paleontology.

Will, Michael, and Connor playing Golden Eye.  Smash Bro. was also played.

We also played who can make Whitney Smile.

Connor's Birthday

Unlucky for Connor, but lucky for us, he spent most of his Birthday driving down here.  We were able to celebrate with him.

Erin made him a Mario Cake.

Us singing to him.

Connor opened his present when he was down here.

He turned 8 years old.  I was really grateful that I was able to go to his baptism and that my Uncle could get us a font to do it in.

Trafalga

We went to Trafalga with Jeff and Erika.  We did Mini-Golf, Go Carting, and ate pizza.

Jeff and Allison

Michael

They had the sprinklers on which flooded 2 or so holes.  So we were putting in a pond there, which made it interesting.
