We LOVE football, yes we do!

Before I met Tyler, I had not watched a minute of ESPN in my life. That has most ENTIRELY changed! I can't count the number of minutes I've watched now.... Tyler's probably up into the billions--well, billions of hours!
So as a supportive wife I've been learning about football (I understand the game now!). That means watching games with Tyler and going to Tyler's flag football games. He played with the ward team and they won 2 games! That's a record for BYU 85th ward. So I thought I'd share some game highlights (or the best pictures out of the dozens I've taken).And here is his loyal fan.

In case you were wondering....(continued from previous post)

A lot of people asked me if our "blackness" was difficult to get off. YES. We probably went through half a bar of soap and I shampooed my hair multiple times! So we got it off our faces and hair, but then it ran all down our bodies so we had to scrub EVERYTHING. Needless to say, this was our bathtub after:
The picture doesn't do it justice. It was NASTY.

And the Most Original Costume award goes to....

...the iPod commercial!! This was our Halloween costume this year. I wish we could say that we came up with the idea ourselves, but we actually found it on the Internet. But it turned out a lot better than we thought it would! Don't you think we could pass for the real thing?

ooOOH ooOOH This is Halloween!

We carved pumpkins with our friends Chantelle & Olaf two weeks before Halloween. Note to self: Two weeks is too early to carve pumpkins. Although both of our pumpkins turned out beautifully, both were very moldy by Halloween time. Next year we'll remember.
This is us carving our Cinderella pumpkin:
This is the Johnsons carving their ninja pumpkin:
This is the finished result with me:
This is the finished result with Tyler:
Unfortunately, the Johnson's finished result accidentally got deleted off my camera, but, believe me, it was good.

Our Cinderella pumpkin has Cindy sitting in the carriage, the wires are the wheels of the carriage, and the pumpkin piece on the front is the driver. We thought it turned out pretty well. Sorry it's hard to see but the finished product pictures got accidentally deleted too. But hooray for pumpkin carving!
