“rise & shout”

the cougars are out!

last weekend, we kicked off the BYU football season by attending the
first home game. i would much rather go to a game now than when it’s snowing! we doubled with dusty’s nephew travis & his wife margaret, whom are two of our favorite people. if you haven’t met margaret yet, you need to hustle on over to bonbon and get to know her!

i’ll admit, i’m not a die-hard byu football fan, in general, not too much of a football fan at all. BUT i married a college football player! i struggle at times with FOUR HOUR+ games driven by testosterone.

in the rhodes home –

dusty has returned to “friday lunches with big papi!” this is a big benefit of papi’s offices being two blocks away from our kids school.

dusty either takes the kids their favorite fast food or checks them out of school for 30 minutes and runs them somewhere to eat.

this is definitely the highlight of their lunch-week!

has anyone seen “CUJO” by stephen king… story about a crazed rabied dog that attacks and kills everything.

well, 2 nights ago dusty and i decided to continue our “couch Potato to 5k” training… the night before we had walked for 5 minutes, ran for 90 seconds, walked for 90 seconds, ran for 3 minutes, walked for 3 minutes and then repeated… melody, shannon child, spicy {our overacheiving marathoner friends}… stop laughing at our lack of jogging prowess. anyway, we walked up to carterville because there “ain’t no way” my husband was gonna run up that little hill. we turned south and began to jog… it was pitch dark {who came up with that phrase anyway? what is pitch??

we had our last game for coach pitch this morning.
this was a crazy season for dusty, myla, and kj because one, two, or all three of them were rarely at practice or the games together. they’ve been traveling, busy, sick, or something…
when we did manage to get there, i just love saturday mornings at the little baseball park. i especially love our utah mountains in the background.

a few of the highlights…

The Show in Hong Kong

July 13, 2009

Sorry… I suck at taking pictures… I couldn’t figure out how to get the freaking flash to come on in the day. ARRRGGGGGHHHH!
Anyway, this blogging thing is kind of addicting… 🙂 I’m not sure I could stay up all night doing it (like pretty much ALL OF YOU) However… it is rewarding.

So, Hong Kong… Gorgeous Hong Kong… Jane and I’s favorite city in the world. It has everything, gorgeous beaches, shopping, scenery, nice people, great food… and of course Disneyland. Myla and I didn’t make it there. I asked her if she’d want to and she chose to go to the Philippines as soon as possible to see her friend Trish.

We hit the show…
