Foiled

Just got back from my last innertube water polo game.  We are finally out of the tournament, which means that I really need to step it up in Run for Your Life if I want an intramural t-shirt.  Bummer. 

It was a really good season.  Jeff and I started the team and wrote down "We were really good two years ago" as our team name.  They didn't like that, so we ended up being Team 95.  We kicked butt all season and then got placed in the highest division, ranked 8th out of about 60-80 teams.  It was quite flattering, but we were hoping we would be in a lower division so that we could have a chance. 

We won our first game of the tournament and then got ROCKED in our second game.  The girls were BYU volleyball players and the guys were even bigger than Jeff.  I think the final score was 80-26.  Very humbling. 

Fortunately, in the highest division, it's double elimination.  We won our next two games and then finally lost tonight.  It wasn't that disappointing though- we'll let another team get the opportunity to lose to the team we got slaughtered by...

It was a super fun season.  I got to play offense and I was a total ball hog though. 

Jamie, Matt, Kaitlan and Josh came to one of our games during the season, so I actually have a few pictures from it.  Thanks for taking them Jame!

 

We decided that we're going to say that we got lost in the semi-finals in the top division.  It was really the semi-finals of the losers bracket of the upper division. Does that count as a lie???  :)

Baby Beckam

My cousin Lindsay had a baby boy this month and they named him Beckam.  Jamie and I went over to visit them when he was just a couple days old, and he seemed about the size of a two week old.  Poor Lindsay… he was 9 lbs 9 oz.  He slept most of the time of course, but he was real sweet and funny when he was awake!

Isn’t he cute in this one?  :)

  Mom sent Lindsay and her husband this onesie.  I think there was an inside joke but I’m not totally sure…

It was fun to see Aunt Marcia!  She is always so fun to talk to.  :)

  And also she is crazy.

Putting more of Jamie’s Personal Life on my Blog

 

Jamie was nice enough to let me come to her ultrasound at 27 weeks.  Here’s Jamie with the goo.  The ultrasound guy was a male, which threw us all off for a couple of seconds, but he was nice and let us see whatever we wanted.

Unfortunately, baby girl wouldn’t let us see her face, but we did get to see her yawn once!  That was super cute.  The picture below is of the heartbeat.  It sounds a little bit more real than it did a couple weeks earlier, but that might just be my memory distortions.

 

Also, that night we went to the Caucus’ in Provo.  We went to a different precinct because one of our friends was running for chair or whatever it’s called, but I don’t even know why we did that because he is always posting anti-Grandpa stuff.  It was a really cool experience though!  And we totally could have voted if we had wanted because they just gave us slips of paper. 

Matt wore a Orrin Hatch shirt and practiced his “if I see [our friend] walk.”  Well, it was more of a strut.  He chickened out when we actually got there and since people were mostly for Dan Lil…, they probably just thought he was weird.  If I had known how the caucus actually worked, I think I would have gone to my own, because it was pretty neat!

Croquet

This face pretty much describes our croquet experience last week:

Our friend Eric was nice enough to invite us to play Croquet with us.  We all dressed like preps and then proceeded to  break practically everything in the set.  It was a cheap set, but between Kaitlan, Jeff, and I, three different pieces to the game.  They were accidents, but we definitely could have avoided all of them.  Poor Eric…  The guy lets us play with him and then we break everything.

Jeff won but I was a close second.  Josh D and Eric came in last while Kate and Kaitlan forfeited about halfway through to do handstands.  Still not really converted to croquet but it was a very interesting experience.

 

Exploit your wives on youtube week.

 

I love these videos. They are super funny, and I don’t think they’re mean at all.  The husbands are so cute about the silliness of their wives.  So if you want to laugh, here are some really funny videos, but try not to get offended. I’m going to give the husbands the benefit of the doubt and assume the wives were totally okay with putting these videos on youtube.

 

I’m a MORMON!

I finally did it everyone.  I got a mormon.org profile!  It was really fun.  :)http://mormon.org/me/51Z5/

The Day Has Come

I love hype.  Which is the reason that I’ve been talking up the Hunger Games midnight showing so much.  I can’t wait for it, not because I can’t go another second without seeing it, but because I love the hype of a bunch of people anticipating something with great excitement.

This may be the farthest I’ve gone though- making t-shirts.  Jeff helped me with mine yesterday, and it went… okay. It' took us a while, but keep in mind that we were just using spray paint and stencils.  We learned how to do it well after awhile so hopefully the ones we do tonight will be way better.

T-minus 14 hours!
