42-7

Ohio State won! By a lot! It was a great game and the kids had a lot of fun with all the decorations and Ohio State stuff that Jen and Grandma sent! Thanks! We got to decorate the house with Ohio State streamers and balloons! The kids got to eat lunch with Ohio State stuff and we had an OSU cake. It was a lot of fun! I guess we will have one more game this year! Then it will be a long wait until next August.

GO BUCKS!

This is a big week in our house! Saturday is the big Ohio State vs. Michigan game! It is the "big" game of the year. We have our flag waving, music playing, and we are counting down until Saturday morning! This is the only week we are aloud to say "GO BUCKS, MICHIGAN SUCKS!"

Visit from Grandpa

This week my Dad came to visit from Ohio. My sister also came to visit from Idaho for a few days while he was here. I have a brother that is at BYU and a sister and her husband and baby that live in West Jordan and so we had a lot of fun all week long getting together. My Dad kind of has a tradition of coming to visit in October. We also always have to go to Brick Oven when he comes. Which we did on Monday and it was delicious! There was this guy at Brick Oven making these sweet balloons things. He made an Indiana Jones one for Jalen and a football one for Landon. They were really sweet! I thought that it was really nice of this guys to just make balloons for kids at the restaurant. I didn't know he expected money! Good thing Grandpa was their to step in! Of course we drug my Dad around shopping a couple of days and then out to lunch. Jalen was feeling a little bad and like he was missing out since he was in school and so I took him out early on Thursday! He was very excited. Another tradition my kids are liking is Grandpa taking them to Boondocks while he is here. Last year just Grandpa and the boys went and it was cold and so they just did the inside things. This year my sister and I went along with. It was really nice when we went and so the boys were excited to play putt-putt golf for the first time. Yesterday of course was all about Halloween, candy, parties, costumes and trick or treating. My boys of course had parties at school and got to dress up! Then went trick or treating! They have so much candy! Between school, 2 trunk or treats, grandparents, and trick or treating they have so much. I feel sick when I see the amount of candy they got. Today we went to breakfast for our last outing with Grandpa. He had to leave today! We are sad and miss him already. We had a great visit and look forward to next October. Thanks for everything Dad!





The boys had a fun time playing soccer, football, and basketball with Grandpa in the back yard! I think that they had Grandpa sweating!




The boys playing putt-putt at Boondocks! Grandpa giving Landon some pointers!




The boys got some bug that they had to put together in a kids meal. Grandpa worked on them for a while to put them together. We thought it was kind of funny that they came in a kids meal and it took Grandpa so long to figure them out and put them together. Good job guys!




Playing at the park!




Going for a walk!




All ready to go get some candy!
