Ward Rodeo

Yesterday was our Ward's annual Rodeo. The morning started out very cold (we know we live in AZ but after a while 50 is very cold!), but by lunch time the sun was shining. The girls had lots of fun riding the horse, doing sac races, and riding in the cow train. Savannah stayed nice and warm in her front pack carrier. Yes it is weird to have the rodeo in March but, once again we live in AZ and any other time after April would be to hot.

This next week is Spring Break......I think that the girls are more excited then Mommy. We will just have to make lots of trips to the park and hope the sun shines all week.

Super Bowl Weekend

On Friday before the Super Bowl we went to the NFL experience, the kids (including Dan and Daren) had lots of fun.

beautiful girls

Yesterday I was chastised for not having any new pics on our blog of Miss Savannah (or Vannah Montana as her sisters call her). We have been super crazy at our house, I never realized how many times I say: stop doing that, stop hitting your sister, please be nice, and did you have to make her cry???? Usually a hundred times a day. Yesterday after a stressful morning of fighting with girls to get their hair done I decided to take them and get their summer cuts done early. Lets just say that Dan has decided that the girls are never allowed to date or grow up.

The weekend of Jan 19 was spent in driving to Utah and back. While there, we blessed Savannah and froze our booties off. We had fun seeing the grandmas and papas. We also met Miss Rylin for the first time and think she is the cutest.

It was also decided while there, by Sariah, that we would never visit Utah again in the winter. She thought it was to cold.

Little Savannah looked beautiful in her blessing dress (thanks gma May). The girls enjoyed playing with their cousins Rylin and Hattie, and mommy and daddy enjoyed the fabulous air mattress that Chris and Susie let us sleep on. All in all a good trip.

2008 Fiesta Bowl

So through connections at work and many people from the state of West Virginia not wanting to pay to come out here Daren and I got tickets to the Fiesta Bowl at a deep discount, ie free. The game was so much fun, not as much fun as last years Boise-Okl game but fun nonetheless. I thought Oklahoma would win because of the way they looked at the Big 12 championship game, and how bad WV looked against Pitt.

The game as most of you know was a 48-28 victory for WV but was much more competitive than the score indicates. WV had a ridiculous amount of speed that the Sooners were unable to compete. We kept saying "alright 'neers you need a long, time consuming drive" and then they would run for a 50 yard touchdown.

The endzone seats are great as you can see the holes develop and where the play is being run. It was fun. I have some pictures as well as a couple if videos, one video is of a first-half interception in the end-zone by WV and the other is a TD pass by WV.


The only unfortunate thing was we sat right next to the WV band and that was well loud and you all know about band-geeks. These band-geeks even came equipped with their "i'm in college so I can be a weirdo" as the baton twirler and two of the flag wavers were guys. That was a little weird but hey free tickets are free tickets, and besides there was quite a bit of other...umm...things to look at.

Here are the pictures and I will post the videos to youtube. 1 & 2

New Years Day

This is how the Bosted's of AZ ring in the New Year. As you can see we are a house of party animals. Well at least one of us is.
