and so it begins...


Let the madness begin! Today marks the beginning of the complete and utter distraction of my husband for the next 3-4 months! He doesn't hunt, he doesn't fish, he doesn't golf, but he does LOVE football. Not any kind of football...BYU Football. This is our second year as season ticket holders. He started the count down in June and the last week has been really hilarious as he has waited anxiously for this first game. We have two tickets so he takes each of the boys to a few games and I go to a few. Last weekend we had to drive all the way to the BYU Bookstore to buy one of these so that he would be ready for today! I enjoy a good game of football, so I don't mind this craziness too much. Expecially since he takes one of the kids to the games or sometimes all the kids to go watch the away games with friends.

So...here we go.....

ode to the 80's...

A friend of mine sent me this in an email. I thought it was too good not to share...HE HE HE remember these days?

You know you grew up in the 80's if...

You ever ended a sentence with the word SIKEYou can sing the rap to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and you can do the Carlton

You know that "Whoah" comes from Joey on Blossom
If you ever watched Fraggle Rock
It was actually worth getting up early to watch Saturday morning cartoons...


You wore a pony tail on the side of your head...
You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school...
You made your mom buy you one of those clips that held your shirt in a knot on the side...

You played the game MASH (mansion, apartment, shelter, house)...
You wore stonewashed Jordache jean jackets and were proud of it...
You know the profound meaning of "Wax on...Wax off "...
You wanted to be a Goonie...
You ever wore florescent clothing (some of us did from head to toe)...
You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before his nose fell off and his cheeks shifted...
You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the only girl smurf...
You took a lunch box to school... and you traded Garbage Pail Kids on the playground...

You remember the craze and then the banning of slap bracelets...
You still get the urge to say NOT after every sentence...

You thought your childhood best friend would never leave because you exchanged handmade friendship bracelets...
If you ever owned a pair of jelly shoes...
After you saw Pee Wee's Big Adventure you couldn't stop saying, "I know you are, but what am I?"
You remember, "I've fallen and I can't get up!"

You remember going to the skating rink before there were in line skates...
If you have ever played with a Skip It...
You remember Boom Boxes and seeing people walk around with them on their shoulders thinking they were all that...
You remember watching both Gremlins movies...

You thought Doogie Howser or Samantha Micelli was hot...

You remember Alf. The little furry brown alien from Melmac...
You remember when New Kids on the Block were cool... and you don't even flinch when people refer to them as NKOTB...
You knew all the characters names and their life stories from the show "Saved By The Bell", the ORIGINAL class...
You know all the words to Bon Jovi- Shot through the Heart...
You just sang those words to yourself didn't you?...

You still sing "We are the World"...
You tight rolled your jeans...

You ever owned a banana clip...

You remember the commercial "Where's the beef?"...

You used to (and probably still do) say, "What you talkin' 'bout Willis?"...

Your still singing Shot through the Heart in your head right now...
