We went on vacation to Southern California the end of September. Disneyland was all decked out in Halloween decorations. We had a great time. Soarin' over California is still the best ride of all time, but the Toy Story Midway Mania ride was really fun, too. Lines were pretty long, but not as long as last time when we went over a spring break.
The beach was nice. We drove down to Newport twice and dipped our toes in the sand. The kids love the ocean. Too bad we don't get to see it more often.
We also visited Universal Studios and Sea World while we were there. Not sure why we posed with Dora - but this is one that we are all in.
Taylor has been playing on a fall 7 on 7 Lacrosse league and practicing with the Bingham team. One of the funnest games was when they played against the boys team. They (the girls) were ahead at halftime, but the boys ended up barely beating them.
They played their 7 on 7 league games on Wedneday nights under the lights. That made for some cold games. Taylor will be playng on the Bingham JV team in the spring.
Matt's football team has had games every Saturday since the end of August. They went 7-2 in the regular season. They barely lost to Alta (8-6) the first game, and lost 28-6 to East in the last game. East was undefeated and we were only one of two teams that even scored on them.
Then we had to play East in the first playoff game. This time we came out ready and scored on them first. We had them beat 7-0 until the middle of the 4th quarter when they tied the score. We had a chance to win on the last play of the game from the 11 yard line, but couldn't get it in. We finally lost 26-20 after 3 overtimes in a gut wrenching game.It was a fun first year of football.
We had a combined Halloween / Birthday birthday party at our house. Above are this years Haloween costume entries. I think the chick in the 80's workout outfit wins the prize...but Tigger is a close second.
Even Grammy and Wolfgang got into the act with their cool costume hats.
Finally, I had a Birthday. Although no one blogged my birthday (until now), Becca did make me a poster. I have made a "Happy Birthday" poster for all the kids on their birthdays since Taylor was little. This year Becca and Nicky made one for me and I loved it. "42 years old woo-hoo!"
I also got a Utah Snuggy or Snugli or whatever you call those blanket things with arms. For the Utah fan who has everything!!
