Random

This is what happens when Aunt Tori is around. Don't worry. The underwear was brand new out of the package.
The girls at grandma and grandpa's birthday party. Riley is so funny. She is a crazy lady.
Tell me that Gray is not meant to play football.

This is what happens when Aubrey and/or Ally get a hold of the camera.

Is this not so funny

At least my thigh doesn't look too large in this photo

Feet are disgusting

Nobody tell my sister this picture is posted

The kids love my dad.

I think I am a one upper

Do you know those people who we call one uppers? They are those who always have to up your story by one. For example, you tell your one upper friend that you know someone who saw a celebrity at a restaurant and all of the sudden the one upper is best friends with that celebrity. They've always gone somewhere more exciting, know bigger people, you get the picture.

Anyway, I went to dinner last night with some of my good friends that I went to grad school with. We spent a lot of time together when we were in school. I think I saw them more than anyone else. At dinner I found myself talking about myself a lot and always bringing up a story about me. I didn't like that I acted that way. I think I turned into a one upper. I have been deciphering why I was that way and I think it is partly due to the fact that since we met they both have gotten married and have super cute babies and I am still in the same place. I don't say that to be pitiful but I think I was feeling a little like I needed to show that I have been doing stuff too. Anyway, I think it is positive that I am aware that I did that. I am sorry for my one upper moments and I will definitely work on it.

Go Utes

I love Utah football. I love football season. I love the smell of the air, the briskness in the wind, the hype of the crowd, and the sea of red that fills the stadium. Don't you worry, I am not one of those band wagon fans. I love the Utes through it all. They have made an impressive showing the beginning of this season. It's going to be exciting.

I just have to say that it was lame that BYU had their game handed to them today by the refs.
