BYU: 4-0

Unfortunately I was not able to go to yesterday's home football game. We had a surprise 80th birthday party for my father-in-law. It was all good. However, I love having a DVR so I could still catch the whole game! BYU is looking good. Maybe they will be able to crack into the top ten soon. I hope they continue to roll.

Car Bashing

Yesterday we played our rivals, the Canyon View Cougars, in football and volleyball. So to have a little fun, we bashed a car. I had a car that didn't run and so I donated it to the cause. Students could buy tickets to smash the car with a sledgehammer. It was a good fundraiser and those Junior High students did a little more damage than I though they would.

Now if you want to watch the video we made, here you go:

Video

This is a funny video that they showed at the beginning of the BYU-UCLA game. It pretty much sums everything up.

UC-What?

I went the the BYU-UCLA game today and it was awesome!! Against what several "experts" thought, BYU would either lose or when by a very small margin. Well, I guess 59-0 proved them all wrong. All I have to say to the critics is "neener, neener, neener." I knew the offense was that good, but what really impressed me is that the defense held UCLA to 0 points. Next up, Wyoming.

GO BYU!

My Birthday!

On Saturday, it was my birthday. Happy Birthday to me!!! My wife took this video and couldn't help but laugh. I was trying to pose for her to take a picture and then ran out of breath. Oh well. I had a great birthday!

100 Laughs A Day

There is a teacher at school that told me that she heard that 100 laughs is equal to 15 minutes of exercise. First we were deciding what was considered a laugh and how long of a duration should it be. We still didn't really come up with an answer, but everyday now, we try to make each other laugh, to get in our 100 laughs in the day. I hope that you get 100 laughs a day, not just for exercise, but it simply makes you feel better. I hope that video gave you at least one laugh for the day. Only 99 more to go.

Volleyball

The unit that we just finished in PE was volleyball. I don't know why, but sometimes when students get hit with the ball, it is funny. Of course you make sure that the student is ok, but after that, I go ahead and laugh. Usually all the students are laughing, along with the student that got it. It can be anything from not paying too much attention and the ball hits them in the head, to a teammate hits the ball into one of their own players and everything else. That is one thing that you have to look for while teaching. Being able to laugh, not at the expense of anyone, but laughing at good, clean, humor.

Nuck Woodward

Since we were not able to do our annual picnic on the 24th of July up Nuck Woodward Canyon, we decided to do it on Labor Day. It was pretty fun. We took my wife's parents up with us. It was a nice cool day, but at least there was no snow or rain, just some wind. We were thinking about going up on top to Yellowbrush, but we figured that it was probably snowing up there. We will have to do that another time.

The Quest

BYU's Quest has started and of course I have season tickets. It was a pretty fun game except for the third quarter. They have a few kinks to work out before the Orange Bowl. All in all, they did fine and now they are ranked 15th in both polls. Next home game is versus UCLA. Go BYU.
