a season of utes

As with every fall we have been immersed with Utah football. We celebrated opening game day with some new red Toms and a new grill for Jackson (still to be purchased). We flew out to California to meet up with the Owen's to attend the Utes very first PAC 12 game against USC.

While in California we got to see the Newport Temple and John Wayne.

We also made the obligatory trip to the beach and it was fabulous.

This was before the seagull pooped on me, notice the smile.

And the game. It was fun even if we did lose.

On to the Utah/BYU game. We have lost our camera and so phone photos are all we have these days. Katherine went all out to get us geared up for the rivalry game. It was the best game ever. We got many examples of just how high Trevor can jump. Go Utes!

how to...

Rid a flat of flowers of a massive toad.

1. Check to make sure said toad is actually in the flat and confirm that wife is not exaggerating and/or misrepresenting the situation.

2. Get hose ready

3. Keep a safe distance in case toad chooses to leap out in your direction while being sprayed.

4. Check to see if toad has moved even an inch with water torture method. Move to backup plan of spooning toad out with hand shovel.

5. Success. Toad hops away.... about thirty minutes later.
