Happy 75th Birthday...

Yesterday afternoon, Jake's parents had the whole family over to celebrate his grandpa's 75th birthday. Jake's grandparents are leaving to Palm Springs on Tuesday. They live there for the winter which is about 6 months. So it was nice to celebrate his birthday and to say goodbye until Christmas. Jake's grandparents are so great and a lot of fun to be around! We will miss them!

T-ville Alumni Game...

Kellen catching

Last night Jake and I along with my mom and dad, went to the Taylorsville alumni game. They have the game up at the new Kearns field. For the last several years they have been doing this game along with a camp for little kids, a home run derby, and a golf tournament to raise money for the Paul Buck and Marshall Gates foundation. John Buck comes and brings some of his buddies from the KC Royals to help out with the camp, be in the home run derby, and be in the golf tournament. My brother plays in the game and is also in charge of the camp and plays in the golf tournament. Kevin Gates and John Buck are the founders of the foundation in honor of Paul and Marshall. All of the money that they raise goes to two summer league baseball teams, called the Marshall's and the Buck's. My brother coaches both of these teams and takes them all over the country to play in tournaments. The kids are hand picked by my brother from high school teams all over Utah and Las Vegas. The majority of the kids get college scholarships to great schools. They also give some of the money to less fortunate kids in the area who can not afford things such as; baseball equipment and uniforms. It is amazing how much money they raise for the foundation every year!

College Football...

This weekend my brother Kyle, came home from school for fall break. So everyone went over to my parents house to watch college football (especially the Utah game). Go Utes!!! They beat Colorado State and are now ranked #11 in the BCS standings. After the game was over the boys went out in the street to throw the football around and my mom and I took the dogs out to play in the yard. We all had a great time and had some delicious food too! It was great seeing my brother since it has been a couple of weeks that I last saw him.

CrAzY CoRn MaZe....

Courtney and Kellen

Last night, Jake and I and my brother Kellen and Courtney, went to the Crazy Corn Maze. We started off by going through the scary part of the maze. None of us thought it was going to be scary but it was! They had a couple of chain saw guys that jumped out of the corn and sacred the crap out of us. Then we went through the maze part. They gave us a map to follow and some questions to answer when we found the numbered posts as we made our way out of the maze. There were some parts that we sort of lost our way but shortly made it back on track. At the end of the maze we gave our answered questions to the people at the ticket booth and we only got two wrong. They gave us a bunch of dinner coupons for our efforts. The boys thought this maze was going to be dumb but at the end they said they had a great time! Of course, Courtney and I had a blast!!
