This is my idea of watching a football game, especially on a November evening. We stayed warm & had yummy food. I had to show the first picture, Brian couldn’t take his eyes off the TV to smile at the camera, so we tried again… Brian is an AD at BYU. Then, of course, my little GAMER wearing his BYU beannie that we got free in the loge!

Little Red Riding Hood & the Big Bad Wolf made our first visit of the day to KJ’s preschool class…these little tykes were our most attentive audienceThen we took Recon Commando along with us to the Pro Look lunch & costume contest…while driving there KJ wanted to read the “Little Red Riding Hood” book in the car I had just read to his class.

Kiana’s class has been studying Native Americans this past month and on Friday the entire unit came to a close with a final “Indian Day” filled with songs, reports, art projects, and other activities. I went to school and had lunch with the girls then volunteered to help with the projects in the afternoon. I took supplies to make leather necklaces with the kids. Kiana and I are matching in our Uggs trying to look like Indians….
