The Best Sleep Ever!

So my husband got me this pillow for Christmas and he has been telling me for the last two weeks to open it early and start using it. I think it is because he wants to see if he wants one too! Well anyway I finally consented last night and it was awesome. I highly recommend it. I have had neck problems ever since junior high because I was less than 100 pounds and they wouldn't give us lockers so I had to carry a heavy backpack all day even during lunch isn't that crazy? And then when I was nineteen I got rearended by a teenager who didn't have a license so I got whiplash fortunately I worked at I chiropractic office at the time and so I got adjusted 15 minutes after the accident. Anyway so typically by the middle of work my neck hurts. And it is nice to have a pillow that finally gets rid of the pain and makes me feel relieved. The one downside to the pillow is that it feels so good that it is even harder to get out of the bed in the morning, which is why I went to work with wet hair that I put up in a bun because I didn't have time to blow dry it. But I think the pillow is worth it!

BYU vs. Wyoming


On Saturday, November 7th we had Steve's family over for the BYU game. It was so much fun to have them over and to finally just have a relaxed Saturday. Kathy made this wonderful cheese potato soup in soup bowls that was delicious, and then we had 4 types of dip, 7 layer, creamy salsa, Uncle Joe's dip and salsa. And we had brownie's and ice cream. We were all very full by the end of the day. If BYU is always going to win 52 to zip while we have a game day party then I think we should always have a game day party!








Steve and his dad wore matching shirts they looked like little twins, they even sit the same way check out their hands in this pic.

Halloween!


We had a super fun Halloween this year. It was really nice having it on a Saturday. We had a relaxed morning, then we made visits to all of the nieces and nephews. First stop was to see JJ as a bumble bee. He looked really cute. And Cindy was so nice to feed our husbands dinner that evening.


Then we went to the Buells, and these 50's girls looked darling. My sister heather made these costumes isn't she incredible. Unfortunately I was not blessed with this talent like my sister. We even got to go trick-or-treating to a few doors with these cuties.









Then we headed over to Steve's brother Dan's house to see Katelyn and Drew dressed up as dora and boots. They looked really cute.





Then we headed over with Steve's parents and sister over to his brother Rob's new house, Rob just got married last night. And then they all came over to our place to watch the Dark Knight. All in all it was a good Halloween.

Grandma's Funeral

On Monday October 26th was my Grandma's funeral. It was a beautiful service. My dad had the idea to have the granddaughters to all of the talks and prayers since only the grandsons participated in my grandpa's funeral last year. Everyone did so well. It was so great being able to remember all of the great memories of my grandmother. And all of the girls did such a job on their talks.










This is my Dad (my grandma's only son placeing a flower on her coffin).

Here is all three of her daughters





Afterwards we had a luncheon with some great mexican food, and we watched videos of grandma's life. I am so grateful to have had such a wonderful example in my life.



Here is all of the granddaughters and some great granddaughters that came to the funeral, she had way more granddaughters than grandsons.
