Please Lucy, Don't Hurt 'Em!

Collecting Our Winnings...

So, we made a bet with our new pals, The McCunes, on the Utah/BYU game. The stipulations of which required the losing team to dress up in the other team's sweatshirts for a photo and post it, along with an explanation written by the winner, on their blog. They are some of the most loyal Cougars we've met, so I am sure this had to be very painful!! Click HERE to check out their blog...Thanks for being such good sports, guys!!

Iron & Wine at the Historic Ryman Auditorium

We made it to our first concert in Nashville!! Last year almost to the date, we saw Iron & Wine at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, and tonight we saw them again on a new stage: The Historic Ryman Theatre, where the Grand Ole Opry was first held in the late 1800s. We left Lulu with a cool couple (Thanks Mizukawas!) and went out for a night of beautiful music with our buddy Alan and Sean's Bro Chris and our sis-in-law Trisha. The hypnotizing harmony and melodic story-telling style of Iron & Wine is good for the soul.

UTE-PHORIC

Matt Asiata...scoring one of Utah's 7 touchdowns

Looks like Utah fulfilled its Quest for Perfection!

With a record of 12-0, Utah is now going back to bust the BCS!!

**We really appreciate the 5 excellent passes that Heisman Hopeful,

Max Hall, threw to help out the Utes! Thanks Max!**

Manis and Pedis...

It only makes sense that Lucy loves to get Manicures and Pedicures since her mom got about 100 of them while she was prego! BUT Lu only lets her daddy do them...maybe because she knows how precise a surgeon's hands are and doesn't want to take a chance on anyone else!

THINK RED!!!

I am so excited and nervous for Saturday's game...it is huge!! GO UTES!

Just Loungin' Around...

It's gotten a little chilly here,

so Lucy and I have been doing more indoor hanging out.

I think she may be getting bored...

Music City, USA

One great thing about living in a new place is getting to act like a tourist

when family and friends come for a visit.

We got to introdue Lucy to the King.

Scoping out downtown Nashville.

Is that Alan Jackson standing in the window?

Tyce and I scored these rad hats for $1.99 each. I also picked up this sweet guitar fly swatter and he got a guitar refridgerator magnet. Nice finds, eh?!

Hard Rock, Nashville Style with the "BatMan" tower in the background.

If any of ya'll come for a visit,
we promise to show you a great time here in Music City!

Carrying A Big Purse Could Save Your Life!

My dad sent me this story, check it out...Big Purse Saves Student's Life
So, see it is worth the back problems!
*Sadly this happened here in good ole' Tennessee, I guess not everyone here is friendly!*

Cakes lead to Treason...

WARNING:

THIS CAKE IN NO WAY REFLECTS THE OPINIONS OF THIS BLOGGER OR ITS AFFILIATES!

...let me explain. I volunteered my cake decorating skills (or skillz, if you will ;) to make our friend Dallin's first birthday cake. Shannon (his mommy) told me I could choose the theme of the cake. Hmmm...what a big responsibility. Should I go for the hip pirate cake? A Cars cake? Everyone likes Mickey Mouse... I think he likes dinosaurs, so I decide to go for the dinos! But I get to Michael's and there aren't too many dinosaur cake decorations. So, I start thinking...Dallin's dad, Seth, loves-and I mean LOVES-football, so I will make a football cake. The only problem is that he LOVES BYU Football...the bane of my existence! But I decided to take one for the "other team" and treat Dallin to a Coug Cake. I think he liked it, but not as much as his daddy.

To my fellow Utes: please forgive me for committing such an act of treason!

I also ended up making a dinosaur cake too-the one Dallin got to dig into!
Happy Birthday, big D!

How Awesome Is This??

For my birthday, Sean (& Lucy) made me this awesome

Junior High Style candy bar poster!

Isn't it fabulous?!?

TJ's has come to Nashville!!

One of my favorite things about living in LA was Trader Joe's. In fact, when we found out we were moving to Nashville, I immediately got on the internet to see if TJ's was here and my heart sunk a little when I saw that there was not a single one anywhere in Tennessee! But today is a bless-ed day...the first one opened up and it is only a couple miles from my house! I can't wait to go get some yogurt, pita chips, trail mix, mini-peanut butter cups, produce, Virgils RB, the list goes on and on.....

Best B-day Ever!!!

For my 29th b-day, my parents and little bro came to Nashville to take Sean, Lucy and me to the Packers/Titans game. My mom has been a devoted cheesehead all her life and Tyce is diggin on the Titans, so it was a family divided. Sean, Lucy, and I got matching Vince Young jerseys--he's our cousin from Texas. :) The game was super exciting and was decided by an overtime field goal, so it went down to the wire...thanks for taking us Mom and Dad! It was by far the best way to spend my 29th birthday!!
