Being an Uncle

Who would have ever thought that having nieces and nephews would be so fun?! I have one niece named Nikki. She is 2 almost three, and she is a princess. I also have a nephew named Carter, shown in the picture, that is 15 months. Carter is just the cutest little boy ever. He is always so happy, and just will play with anyone. He is always smiling or giggling. Nikki is getting pretty smart and can basically get away with anything. Sometimes Nikki will play with me all day long, and other times, its like I am a bad guy. I am Carter's favorite, always. He loves me. We have great times together. Being an uncle is good.

Randomness

I was thinking the other day while I was looking at some family pictures, and I came across this particular picture. It just cracked me up. It just reminded me of many occurrences of totally random, pointless things that are just there to give you a little chuckle. These chairs, that were in a Mexico airport, weren't very comfortable, but what makes them so amazingly awesome, is the funniness. What would we do without these random funny objects? One thing is for sure, my life would be a lot more dull. So, thank you random funny things.

Homecoming!

Homecoming was last night, and it was a blast! I went with Mekell Craft, and I had a great time. I hope she did as well. For the day date we had a slip n slide and pizza. Then at night time, we took pictures, and then had dinner at Macaroni Grill. At dinner, this bozo of a waitress knocked over a water glass that went all over my date and I. It mainly got all over Mekell. Sorry Mekell. Then after dinner, we ski-daddled over to the school for the dance. The dance was in the new entrance area. They had a Chinese theme. The best part about the theme, was that they gave out free fortune cookies. After the dance, we went to the Tribe residence and ate yummy crapes. Then we went home. What a fun night! The End.

Epic Slip n' Slide!

On Saturday, for our homecoming day date, we created one of the most epic slip n' slides ever! We had it at Rock Canyon Park in Provo. The hill we used was huge and steep. We had a tarp that was 100 feet long, but the hill extended about 30 feet past the tarp into a mud pit. We would run and jump on the slip n slide and pick up so much speed that we would go crashing into the mud pit. Sometimes it kinda hurt, but boy was it fun. At one time during the day date, a mud fight broke out. Not a single persons face was clean. Everyone had a blast, and no one was seriously hurt. However everyone had a few scratches and bruises here and there, but it was sure worth it!

1, 2, 3... SUMO!!!

An epic battle went down in the student center, at lunch time, at Pleasant Grove High School. Dillon Hutchins challenged me to a sumo duel. He thought that he would easily walk away with the crown, but oh was he mistaken! I caught him off guard when right at first I jump-kicked him in the stomach. He won the first round, and he thought he had it in the bag. However, I came roaring back to win the next two. He never saw what hit him.

BYU Dominates

BYU played Tulane on Saturday at the Super Dome in New Orleans. BYU was ranked #9 in the nation going into the game, thanks to their upset of #3 Oklahoma the week before. Tulane was a big underdog going into the game, and it showed. BYU got off to a slow start, but once they started rolling, there was nothing the Tulane could do to stop them. Everything was working for BYU. They caused four Tulane turnovers, returning one for a touchdown. Whether it was through the air or on the ground, everything was working for BYU. The final score, 54-3, sums up how the whole game went. Tulane tried using three different quarterbacks, but could never get anything going. With the impressive win, BYU jumped up to #7 in the new poles. This season looks promising for the Cougars. As for the Green Wave... well that's a different story

OK is KO'd

As the whole state of Utah knows, BYU played Oklahoma in college football on Saturday. BYU came in to the game as a big underdog. Oklahoma, a national power in football, came in to the game ranked number third in the nation, with last year's Heisman Trophy winner, Sam Bradford as their quarterback. No one, except for a handful of people in Utah Valley and BYU themselves, gave BYU a chance to win in this game, let alone even make it close. The main reason why BYU supposedly didn't have a chance, was because their defense wasn't supposed to be any good. Oh boy, did they prove everybody wrong. BYU's defense stopped one of the most prolific offenses in the country. They held Oklahoma to only 13 points. And guess what? BYU got 14 points. Yeah that's right, BYU won. Max Hall and the BYU offense marched down the field and scored with 3 minutes left to go up by 1. BYU pulled off a major upset beating the Sooners 14-13. The possibilities this year for BYU are endless. GO BYU!!!

Fundraising... a lost cause

I love high school basketball.... except for one thing. FUNDRAISING! If there was any way around it, I would be the first one to abandon it. For the basketball team this year, I probably have to raise around 1,200-1,500 dollars. A lot of money, I know. And, our fundraiser isn't that easy. Every year we give out a basketball program at each home game. In this program we have information about the players and the team, including the schedule and other mildly important stuff. We also have advertisements in there. So we have to go around to businesses and ask them if they want to buy an advertisement in our program, or to buy a banner to put up in the gym. From experience, businesses usually aren't very interested in helping me out. I don't blame them either. I mean, we are in a recession and money is usually tight everywhere. So why would businesses want to pay money to have an advertisement that only a handful of people are going to see? I mean the main users of this program are the basketball kid's parents who want to see their son's picture.... Wish me luck... or send me money.

Winston, I love you winston

Friday night, lights are on, burgers are cooking, faces are painted, and the students are all making W's with their hands and singing. Winston Sorhaitz boots the ball deep into the end zone. It was a good start, to a blow out game. We, the PG Vikings, killed our rival, Timpanogas, in a game that got ugly pretty quick. We didn't score till nine minutes left in the first half. But once we did, we piled it on, and by the end of the half it was 24-0. If you asked many fans there, they wouldn't even have known that they played the second half. Everyone had lost interest in the blowout game, and the second and third string players of ours were still playing better than Timp's first string. Timp ended our shutout bid by scoring a touchdown in the last minute of the fourth quarter. Winston had an awesome game with two field goals and four extra points, and so we made up a song and sang it every time he came out.

May the Madness Begin

The 2009-2010 school year has begun! Oh boy! Am i excited? Of course not! The whole routine of things just makes me chapped. Summer is so fun and relaxing, and you never know what is going to happen day in and day out. Any day can be an adventure, and with me, many days are an adventure. However, with school, you know what is going to happen every single day, of every single week. It gets so repetitive. But anyways, my schedule this year should be interesting. I am not looking forward to my many tough classes. I have the classes like AP Calculus, AP US History, AP Biology, Government and Cit, English H, and many more non-fun classes (except English of course). I am going to have many late nights due to my overwhelming amounts of homework. I am going to cherish every second of the little sleep that I get. Hey, but these are supposed to be some of the best times of our life, right? Seems like a lot of fun to me....
