{BYU}

Our boys have grown to love the BYU cougars just as much as their dad! The older boys had the opportunity to go with Grandpa Summers to the BYUvs Boise State game at Provo and were elated! They have been to a few BYU games down in San Diego, but this was their first time at a game in Provo. As we drove onto campus Owen let out shrills, pointing out anything and everything that had a "Y" on it. He knew that it standed for "BYU" and kept saying in a high pitched voice, "Dad, its BYU!"as he pointed to trash cans, flags, signs, etc. We were chuckling the whole time and Drew, who grew a little flustered kept yelling, "Owen we are at the BYU college!"

We had fun touring the campus and stopping for lunch at the Wilkinson center on campus. We made the mistake of taking the kids into the BYU bookstore. I heard, "Mom can I have this?" at least 50 times from each of them. Each left with a fun souvenir that they love. Drew wanted a BYU football exactly like the one he had gotten for his birthday that had popped when Ian pumped it up. Ian talked us into a whole football uniform. He said it was the only thing he wanted to be for Halloween and I rationalized buying it knowing Owen could wear it someday too. Owen also left with a little football and Mya pom-poms to go along with her little navy cheerleading outfit that she wore that was cutting off her circulation!

We took our new souvenirs out to the lawn in the middle of campus and played our own little football game. We got looks from tons of students, with all the girls oohing and ahhing, and the boys requesting passes from the boys. It was a beautiful fall day and we all had a blast!

My future cheerleader!

They bleed blue!

(I will always be a K-State Wildcat fan)

GAME TIME!!!!

They cheered on the cougars to a victory!!!

We are grateful for the proximity we now live to Provo and hope to attend several more games in the future! Go Cougars!!!

We not only were able to enjoy the BYU campus, we also were able to spend time with the Dunns!!!

Mya and Sophie - 2 peas in a pod!

Playing football with Deklyn, was a fun family game!

Steph and I as usual, spent too much money and time shopping, while the boys did their football thing. What a perfect weekend!!!

They say the cutest things.....

Mya, my little girl, said in her prayers last night, "Please help us to be strong and healthy like the Hulk!"

Owen almost ran straight into a woman as we entered a dark parking garage. As I told him to watch out, he quickly yelled, "Well she's all black!" Coincidentally she was African American! She was wearing a black dress, which is what he was referring too!

Owen told me today, "You are the best mom I ever had! I love you all the way up to Jesus!" He also loves kissing and told Kenny, "I just want to stay home from school and kiss mom all day!"

Drew lost a tooth at school when he bit into his apple. He felt the tooth inside his mouth as he was chewing and when I asked him about it, he said, "I didn't realize it was mine and I wondered if it was one of the workers!"

While at church, a teacher asked the kids what happened to Jesus right after he was baptized and brought up from the water. Ian enthusiastically raised his hand and said, "He asked for a towel!"

After a long struggle with my boys, to get them inside, bathed, and into bed, I yelled, "I am done, go to sleep!" Owen looked up at me and said, "Mommy I'm sorry you're sad, but the problem is that you don't beat up Drew and Ian. Just beat them up and I will be on your team!"

We are not a family who eats beans, so when Drew went to a friends house to play and eat dinner, he was hesitant to eat the burrito that had refried beans in it. When I picked him up he said to me, "Mom she put mud inside the burrito!"

Aunt Connie pleaded with Owen to shoot his daddy with the gun instead of her and his response, "No, he's the best daddy i've ever had!"

I begged the boys to quit fighting and Drew looked at me and said, "Its not Mothers Day anymore mom!"

Owen got kicked in his "man hood" and said, "Oh, I hurt my Tenders!"

Drew asked this morning, "Mom in 2011 can we get a cat?"

Everytime I feed Mya prunes, Owen comes up to me and says, "Me like chocolate mom!" I give him a bite and his face turns to total disgust.

Owen ran up to me after wrestling the dogs and said, "Me see Cassie's boobies!"

While I was nursing Mya, Drew walked in and said, "Is she done drinking from your boob?" I replied, "No and it is called a breast, thats the proper way to say it." He looked at me puzzled and said, "No thats the Spanish word for it."

Kenny opened the fridge and said, "Something in here stinks." Ian looked at him and said, "Dad, sometimes I toot over there!"

Last night as the boys were saying good night to Mya, Drew looked up at me and said, "Mom, Mya has a boy haircut!"

Drew was reminding me about how when we saw macaws in Hawaii, that one of the macaws was chewing on a woman's hair. He said, about the macaw, "Thats not very nice, it's not choosing the right."

My favorite word Drew and Ian used to say when they were toddlers was, Laddie- for water. I thought it was such a cute word. Owen comes to the fridge and points his little finger and says, "Wa-Wa" for water. So cute!

Last night Kenny went in on a call to deliver a goat and Ian came into our bed. He climbed in and snuggled up beside me, he usually snuggles into Kenny. I asked him why he was snuggling with me and he said, "I can snuggle you because daddy isn't here mom!" He is such a daddy's boy.

Ian is such a daddy's boy. The other night Kenny had to go to the clinic and Ian was sobbing for him for a good twenty minutes because he wanted to go too. When I asked him why he was so upset he replied, "I just want my daddy, he is my favorite boy!"

Birthday parties celebrated in California are usually BIG! There is always a huge jumper, pinata, food for the whole family, and tons of presents. Well we went to a party last night and the boys spent 2 hrs. jumping in a big jumper. On our way home we saw another party going on that had an even bigger jumper with a slide attached. Ian asked, "Can we go to that party too?" I replied, "We don't even know who those people are. " His response, "Well lets just go ask them their names."

As we prepared to go to the Glenwood Springs pool in Colorado with Kenny's four sisters Drew impatiently said, "Come on girls, you're taking too long!" Kenny told him, "Get used to it, this is what men do, wait for girls to get ready."

Much to my dismay I found black ink all over our white sheets on our bed. I of course went straight to Ian and asked very sternly, "Did you write on my sheets with a pen?" With an innocent look he replied, "I was just trying to write my name."

Drew was watching me as I divided my hair into sections with clips to straighten it. He looked up at me and said, "Wow, you look beautiful!" Then when I was completely done with my hair he said, "You're a cute little mommy!"

Ian was dipping his finger in Kenny's contact solution and then touching his eye. I asked him what he was doing and he replied, "Just putting my eyes in mom!"
