Almost Official Homeowners


Kyle and I are buying a house! I am so stinking excited to graduate from apartment living and have a real home. Last night we had the home inspection done and it passed and there weren't any major concerns so that is a relief. We move in two weeks and I wish it were sooner!

Kyle Emmett....AKA Beckham

I'm so proud of my husband. After begging and pleading for him to play on my coed indoor soccer team with me, he finally gave in! Last week was his first game and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. I've never seen him play soccer and he is actually half decent for never playing before in his life. Although he is naturally athletic, a good football player, and runner, I was a little nervous he would try and tackle someone on the field and run around not knowing what to do, all awkward like (Sorry honey)...but nope, he did great! I took some pictures of him before the game all decked out in his soccer attire. We bought him some brand new indoor shoes, socks, and shin guards.
I thought he was a little nervous at first to play...

...but then he started working the camera and gained some confidence so I wasn't too worried. Wow.

This is what happened to his toes a day or two after the game. I think his poor little feet weren't use to moving around like that! Tougher sport than you thought huh Kyle:)

Halloween Weekend

We spent Halloween with the family up at Brighton.  It was so pretty up there and the place we stayed in was great.  Here are some pictures of the event. 

We were missionaries!  I know, kind of lame, but it was fast and easy.  I'm not much of a Halloween, dress up person.
 
Kyle and I definitely breaking the "mission rules" :)

We just couldn't stop...

The next day we went on a little hike around Silver Lake and up the mountain.

Funny Commercial

Upon the request of my husband, I had to remove my last post. Apparently it was "inappropriate." Although I thought it was brilliant, I apologize if I offended anyone. Here is a more "appropriate" and clean little commercial for your enjoyment. It makes me laugh.

A DAY AT LAGOON

Last weekend I went to Fright mares Lagoon with the family, just like we always did in the olden days. I'm not much of a theme park person because I tend to throw up or "almost throw up" on any ride I go on, but it was a good day anyway. It was fun to watch my niece and nephew go on the kiddy rides and spend time with the fam.

I hadn't been to Lagoon in years, so there were a lot of new rides. I use to think the Collosus was a big deal, but has anyone been on the ride "Wicked"? Um, I nearly peed my pants...laughing and crying at the same time the entire ride.

Val and I before Wicked!

And one of my favorites...Rattle Snake Rapids. There was no line cuz I guess people don't like to get wet or something...so we just went on it over and over and over.....

Katie and I on Rattle Snake

Nate loved that ride too.
