Callister Domination

For those of you who didn't know, the Callister cousins in Provo were on a intramural soccer team. Brad, Becca, Paul, and Jordan were avid fans. All of their games were super intense. Anyway, long story short- they made it to the finals! They ended the first half down 2-3. They tried desperately to get a goal the second half. So many attempts, but no successes. Finally with 1 minute 30 seconds to go, Debbie Fife scored!!! Being a girl on a CO-ED team, it counts as two points. So we were now winning 4-3! It was awesome. I don't think I have ever been to such an exciting game. So just in case you didn't know, my cousins Julie, Debbie, Dan, Ryan, Chad, Katie are amazing!!! They even got intrumural CHAMPION t-shirts!!!

Busting out the China

Last weekend, Brad's parents stayed with us. They went into the MTC on Monday. I thought it would be a great time to bring the China out for Sunday dinner. It was really fun to make it all fancy! But getting all of the plate and goblets out of the boxes and them packing them back up was quite a bit of work! All in all, it was worth it! We were sad to say goodbye to Reese and Eva Jean but know that they will be great! We will surely miss them!

Easter

So, we went to St. George for Easter. We were really excited to go and spend some time with the Maglebys. The last few times we've seen them, we were just driving through St. George and stayed at their house overnight. It was nice to go stay with them and relax. We had a ton of fun!!!
Friday night, we grabbed some Wendys and Arbys and went to the park. Monty, Stephanie, Taylor, Megan, Brad, and I all played a few rounds of PIG on the basketball court.

Matt was busy on his big wheel driving through the middle of the court. It was dark so we had a few near-accidents. On Saturday, we went to the college to play tennis. It was really fun to get outside and exercise together. Again, Matt was on his big wheel and was better at sticking to the parking lot. At the very end when we were packing up our stuff, Matt saw an opportunity and he took it. He rode right through the middle of two other tennis matches. It was actually really funny!
After tennis, we came home and got ready for the day. Some of us took little naps. Then we got out the vinegar and started dyeing eggs. Shortly thereafter, we went to the Bloomington Courtyard to have an Easter Egg hunt. Oh my gosh, Matt was hilarious.He would pick up and egg and then throw it on the ground saying "that was a bad one." He only wanted 4 eggs. Steph kept trying to get him to run around and get more eggs- there was a ton. But, he didn't want to. It was really funny.
The Maglebys gave everyone Easter gifts. We got some cute Easter decorations and Catch Phrase!!! We were really excited! Brad got really excited about the tissue paper. He created his own Easter bonnet.Brad also made a weird pose with the kids Easter baskets. He got a little creative. Sunday dinner was the best!!! Funeral potatoes, pork tenderloin, crescent rolls, raspberry jam, fresh fruit, and strawberry pizza! Wow- it was great. Thank you Magleybys for a great vacation!!!

Sundance

So Brad and I finally went snowboarding this season. Matt, Annie, and Jack were up at Sundance so we had a good excuse to get up there. We had so much fun. Brad's good friend Mike works up there so we got free passes- pretty sweet. Brad and Mike got up there early and I came up around noon. We went on a few runs and then met up with the Parkers at the rope-toe. It was snowing pretty hard by then.
We had so much fun watching Annie and Jack show us their skills. They are really good! Annie just zipped down the hill without stopping. The hill was forcing Jack to stay on his toe edge which is harder to learn. By the end- he was doing a ton better. At first the kids seemed a little disappointed to be on the bunny hill. But, I pulled out the magic m&ms and skittles and they loved it. After every run, they would sit down and open their mouths like a seagull to be fed. It was cute. They had a blast! Let's just say that Matt is a good dad- he was the one that really got the work out.
