How could I forget!!
It appears I forgot to blog about Homecoming! Tragedy!!
We went down to Provo for Homecoming again this year. This is probably one of my favorite days of the whole year--so. much. fun.~! We hit up the parade...complete with LOADS of candy and Cosmo....and enjoyed yummy blue pancakes at Jennifer and Becca's apartment. This turned out to be a brilliant idea, as it bought us several extra hours of sleep and kept us warm and toasty.
The Parade...
Like I said...lots and lots of candy. The kids were in heaven!
We LOVE his beanie. Thanks Nicole!!
The whole crew. It was cold.
Ben, Marilyn, David, and Ryan. One of Mike's best friends and his family. We also got to enjoy dinner with Mike's other best friend, Dave, and his wife Lisa. So fun!!
Sure love these girlies!! I think they should never leave--and certainly not move to Texas like their parentals. That was a lame trick!
Becca, blue-chocolate-chip-pancake-maker, extraordianire!
Yum!! (With some sass...of course!)
Later in the day Mike and I got to go to the Homecoming game. It is so much fun to be in the stadium with all the fans. Football is way more exciting live, at the stadium, with your man. I loved it!! Too bad I don't have any cute pictures--but trust me, it was great!! We didn't stay the whole game--darn ESPN who scheduled the game to start at 8:15, but the first half was fun and listening to the game on the way home helped Mike to stay awake for the drive.
The one picture of us--poorly taken, on a lame cell phone camera. (But not for too much longer...new phones next week, and the camera on those babies is SA-WEET!)
Sure love that good-ol Provo and BYU.
Go cougars!!
He's *FINALLY* a pilot!
Last Christmas Mike got a remote controlled airplane. We went out on Christmas day to fly it; he got it in the air and it was great...for about 30 seconds. Then, CRASH! Apparently, this is the way these things go, and so my problem-solving husband was not deterred. And here we are today, 10 months later, and he's finally officially flying an airplane!! Not the original, no--that one was not a beginners plane, we came to find out. Not the second one, no--that was too flimsy. But the third plane--that was the success story! Wahoo!!
Plane Numero Uno: Christmas day, 2010. Look at my handsome, happy man. So cute!
Plane number two: The glide test...will it fly?
It does!! Time for a test run at the real field!
Plane number two: Hand built and fortified...so excited! This was the first trial run!
FAIL!
Plane number three. Went with a assemble yourself plane, as opposed to a build yourself plane.
Battery charged? (Three previous attempts at flying proved that this step was important!) Check. Propeller attached? (Also important, go figure!) Check. Wings sturdy? Check, check.
Attempt one....oops! "Lawn-mower"
And then, ladies and gentlemen....success!! The moment arrived!! An airborne, for a long duration, airplane!! Wahoo!!!

Introducing....
And EATER!! Yeah!! Luke has taken FOREVER to figure out eating. Seriously, forever!! We usually start solids (or semi-solid food product) at our house as quick as we can, sometimes as early at 3 months and 3 weeks old. We started Luke clear back at his 4 month mark, and just yesterday he finally got it figured out. Sheesh!! Took long enough! Yeah for real food!! :)
There's a tooth in there folks--FINALLY!! He's taken the longest to get teeth too...maybe the two are somehow connected. Whoop!
Good-bye Elder Williams!!
Mike's littlest brother, Tommy, went on his mission yesterday! We have sure LOVED having Uncle Tom be so close the past two years while he's been at BYU. Katelyn and Josh have already started to pray for Uncle Tommy on his mission, and we are planning our first package to the MTC--same day shipping may allow for still warm cookies!! :) He is headed to Mike's neighboring mission, so come two years we'll have TWO returned missionaries from Chili in the family! We are so proud of and excited for Uncle Tom!!
I'm thinking that Uncle Tom can't do a normal smile... :)
Oh wait! Here's one! :)
Good luck!!
