Snow College Bowl Game. . .

It's become an annual tradition for us to go the Snow College bowl game. It is so fun to hang out with friends, family, and eat a lot of food. For me and the kids, it really would not be as much fun if we didn't have a suite where we could stay warm. Randy and my Father-in-Law braved the cold almost the entire time! Apparently it's part of the experience. :) My dad was even honored at half time and got a framed retro jersey with his name and number from when he played football at Snow. It was such a fun day. Last year was a very disappointing last minute loss and this year was an exciting win at the end!

Holy War . . . . . . .

There is a lot I could say about this game. Overtime and Max Hall come to mind, BUT all I'm going to say is BYU WON! Go Cougs!

Black Friday . . . . .

Or in other words - Pure Hell. We got up at 4:00 am to go to Walmart and get Ava a cool Jeep. A million insane people + Wal Mart itself + HUGE lines + a total of FIVE jeeps = Me never getting up early on Black Friday again. 'Nuff said. Here are a couple of pics from the day that will never be forgotten.

Kai was super happy in the morning, then took a little rest with his hood over his face. We were all wishing we could do the same at that point. I added a picture of our treasures. Apparently we did have a little success. :)

Thanksgiving Delight . . . . . .

Thanksgiving pics. It's pretty laid back when we have Thanksgiving at my mom's. We eat a lot, laugh a lot, rest a lot, and just have a good time. Here are some pictures of my fantastic family.

Distinguished Alumni . . . .

My parents were honored as Distinguished Alumni at the Snow College Homecoming Game this year. We are all proud Badger fans and grew up loving Snow so it was a big deal for all of us! I have the best parents in the whole world and it was so neat to see them honored. I know my Grandma and Grandpa Stoddard were so proud! Go Snow!

My dad as a football player at Snow in the 70's. Seriously? Have you ever seen cooler burns?
