Surprise - Las Vegas Bowl

So, is it any surprise that BYU ended up at the Las Vegas bowl for the fourth straight year? Nope, however they will play a weak Arizona team. They had better beat them easily. Now to Utah, they will actually give them a challenge in Alabama. This is good, it could give the MWC a little more respect.

Helper light Parade

On Friday night we decided that we would go up to the Helper light parade. Our oldest son loves parades and Christmas lights, so what could be better than this? It was cold, but not as cold as it could have been and it was still enjoyable. Ok, there were only about 20 floats or so, but all of them had lights and it was entertaining.

Yearbook yourself!!!

So I don't know if you have ever been on yearbook yourself, but it is pretty funny. Here is me, my wife, our two kids, my mom and a sister. So if you want a laugh or two, spend some time on that website.

Happy Thanksgiving

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope everyone had a good day. I just give thanks for my family, my health, our country, and many other things that I take for granted everyday.

Tape Job

Today, myself and two other teachers got taped to the wall as a reward for raising so much money during the penny drive. It was sort of fun. However, to the demise of the kids, the duct tape did not hold us to the wall for very long. The paint that is on the walls does not like anything sticking to it. So instead of being up on the wall through both lunch periods, I was only stuck to the wall for about 3 minutes. When we do this again, we will have to think of another place to hang us up on. Well, it was fun and I still think the kids liked doing it. I wonder what I will think of next year.

BYU 10-2

Well, that was a bad game played by BYU last night. Some people say that Utah just played better and was the better team. I still don't think so. Max Hall had 6 turnovers. That was the difference. 4 of his 5 interceptions he threw right to the defense and his fumble was just carelessness. Other than that, and BYU's not-so-good defense, BYU could drive the ball almost at will. Now we just have to sit and wait to see what bowl they get invited to. Probably some crap bowl. Oh well, I guess that is the way it goes. I think that BYU will be better next year. Although I am a BYU fan, I hope Utah does not get screwed with a bad opponent in a BCS bowl like they did 4 years ago. Give them a true test of how good they are. If the BCS truely wanted the best teams in their bowls the would take the top 10 in their own poll and have them play each other. Instead Utah will probably play a 18th ranked team or something and beat them horribly. The BCS needs to be fixed.

Penny Wars FInal Total

Our Penny War ended today at the Junior High. It was funny, the seventh graders finally caught on how to work it and started quite a stash of their own. For the most part, the eighth graders were out of it, and the lost pretty bad. The ninth graders also had a pretty big stash. In the end, the 7th and 9th graders tied. It was pretty amazing. Over $500 in pennies were brought in. On top of that $1000 in other coins and bills were brought in. The grand total was $1498.32. About $800 of that was brought in just today. Boy, it sure is a lot of fun to count and roll all those coins. The $1500 was more than double our goal. So that means that me and another teacher are going to be duct taped to the wall. We haven't set a date for that, but it will be in the next couple of weeks and I will definitely post pictures and maybe a video of that. The $1500 means that each student brought in just over $6. Now we know that not all kids brought in money and others brought in a lot more than that. . This total was also the most money that was raised in any given fundraiser ever at our Junior High. I would just like to thank everyone that helped out with the Penny Wars. What a great community that we have here. The money raised will definitely help out with our faculty member's medical bills and I'm sure that he will appreciate it greatly.

Our Land!!

Well, we finally got the land that we are going to build on. It's about .40 acres and not too far from where we are now. Here are some pictures of it. Hopefully, In the next two years we will get to build!! We are very excited!
