Birthday and Thanksgiving

Peyton had a really good second birthday. She got a lot of clothes. Her favorite thing was the Magna Doodle she got. She only wanted to play with it and nothing else. Thanksgiving was good except for not playing football. I showed up for our ward turkey bowl and there were just to many people there so I went home. Marshall and Ryan told me we were going to have a turkey bowl and promised that they would call me and tell me but of course I never got a call. I was really good to see Ben, Heather and Kyle. Heather took us up in the canyon to take our family picture. It was pretty cold up there, about 25 degrees. Val was sad that Heather left. She called her and she cried. Val and her have a sisterly bond which is great.

Work

I am at work right now helping Will with putting this grip tape stuff on the locations so the bins don't move in there locations. I will be here till about 11:00 this morning. Than I will take Val to work and than go play football with my buddies from work. Marshall and Ryan said they were going to come play but they haven't called me back after leaving 3 messages. We will be celebrating Peyton's 2nd birthday tomorrow. Our little baby id growing up so fast. I am looking forward to next week because I get to have a 4 day weekend.

The kids had fun trick or treating lst week. Everyone loved Peyton's Care Bear costume. A.J. was a ninja and Rylie was a princess fairy. We had our football banquet last Saturday at Rock Creek pizza. It was alright but seemed a little pricey to me. They played the football highlight video there also. I didn't see much of it because the boys were standing in front of me. I know that Shawn was savoring that day with his buddies because most of them will still be in Junior high next year and he will be in High school. I got a new guy working with me. His name is Mike Tucker. Ben knows who he is. He used to work here before a went on his mission. He is working out pretty good back here with me. Better that that last guy. Peyton's birthday is going to be coming up here pretty soon in a couple of weeks which will be crazy to think that she will be 2.

Rob,
I remember that day when I found out that you had been in an accident. I was talking to Marshall and he told me you had been in an accident. I felt like I had been that last person told. I think I went up to the hospital that day with Val. I remember walking into the room and seeing your mom and than laying my eyes on you and seeing you all hooked up to machines and everything. Your mom told me to try and be strong but it was hard to see one of my best friends down. I visited you at least once a week at the hospital. Once you were out of the hospital I feel like I turned into a crappy friend. I was probably visiting you every three months or so. After your accident I reflected a lot on my abilities to be able to go run or play football and realized how much I take it for granted. Even Last month when I came to visit you after our football game in Park City. As I was leaving I spoke with your dad and told him how I felt about being a crappy friend to you. Of course I was a little emotional, you know me. Your accident that day has made me reflect on my life and how I took so for granted. Happy Belated Birth day

Finally

Shawn's team finally won a game. It was against Toole. The weather was really bad. We were lucky because there was a couple of parents that had these heater things on the side lines so our kids were able to stay warm. We could of scored a lot more but we didn't think it would be right to run up the score on them. On my way home Val called be and told me that a gut in the ward had an extra ticket to the BYU VS. Eastern Washington game and wanted me to go. It was a good game but it was even colder there at the game. It started out to be pretty good weather and then the clouds rolled in and it started coming down really good. When we left the game I probably had at least an inch of snow on my or more. I said hi to Brandon Doman at the game. He said hi back. It looked as though he had his game face on and really didn't want to talk to much. The kids have been taking turns having a cold. Peyton was up all last night coughing and talking in her sleep. Mike Tucker started working with me Today. He's a lot better that having that other guy over here.

Finally

We had a good weekend. Shawn's team played the second Alta team and almost beat them. A.J. finally played a game and his team won 5-1 which included a goal from him. Val's stomach was bothering her for 3 days and wouldn't go tot he doctor. She had spoken with one of her friends and she said it could be her Gal Bladder but I guess she's ok now. Val found a job working with people that are Autistic and who are Downsyndrome. She started that yesterday. Peyton is starting to get more teeth, that's why she probably had been a little beast. Shawn washed his Ipod in the washer. Where just waiting to see him it's going to work or not. His dad didn't buy a warranty on it.
