Baseball & Softball

I've enjoyed watching Brady play in various baseball and softball games this fall. It's always fun to gather with friends to watch our hubby's and friends play ball together.

I wish I could go back in time when we were in high school and go to ALL of Brady's baseball games. I feel like I missed out on so much of his baseball career because we didn't start dating until I was a senior in high school. I love watching him play baseball and even softball because he's the best short stop around, even if I am a little biased. :-)

Family Pics and Utah Game

We had family pictures with Brady's side of the family on Saturday, November 6th...the same day as the Utah game. The Utah game in which we camped out all night in the freezing cold in order to get tickets; there was no way we were going to miss this game! Family pics were scheduled for 12:00 noon, but they were generous enough to bump them up to 11:00 am so Brady and I could make it up to the U in time to tailgate with our friends before the game, which started at 2:00 pm. We had the pictures at Wheeler Farm and everyone was supposed to wear fall colors. Kortney and Darrin (Brady's cousins) were in charge of taking the pictures. We didn't have enough time to get a picture of just our family, but here is the whole family! I love these guys...what a great group of people.

Halloween and Camping Out

For Halloween, Brady had been thinking long and hard of what our costumes should be. One night we were watching TV and it showed people that dressed up as Oompa Loompas for Halloween and that's where the idea began....

We got all of the pieces to our costumes at Wal-Mart (no matter how much I hate shopping at Wal-Mart sometimes, it does have a plethora of items and the lowest prices). So, we got the sweat pants, the turtle necks, the duct tape, buttons, wigs, etc. and began our creation. Thanks to Karen, we were able to pull them off! We had a lot of fun dressing up this year and I was surprised that I tied for 1st place at work for the best costume!

Our first Halloween party was at Phil and Alesha's club house with the Olsen's. It's always so much fun to get together with them. Here are a few pictures from the party:

Bevin was lovin' Halloween--cute little butterfly

Kate is the cutest little super girl!

Mckall was exhausted

Other parties we went to were at Danny & Erin Cornia's and then Cory & Kristie Lucking's. We had such a great time with our friends. It's always so much fun to see everyone's costumes. Although I took a lot of pictures of all the costumes, I'm not posting them all, so here are just a few pics:

The kitten, the nerd, the baby and the oompa loompaKatie is the cutest witch around
"Oompa loompa doompadee doo...."

We had to leave straight from Cory & Kristie's party to drive up to the U to camp out for Utah vs. TCU tickets....it was freezing! We've camped out before for Utah vs. BYU tickets and thought we should do it again this year. It was really fun hanging out and chatting and then going to Village Inn at 2:30 in the morning to warm up with some hot chocolate. We walked away with 2 tickets to the game...it was totally worth it!!

Sleeping on the concrete...not so comfy So sleepy, but the hot chocolate made us feel better

GO UTES!
