Peeta or Gale

Back to 'Catching Fire'. Who should Katniss end up with? I'm really torn and usually I ALWAYS know who the girl should end up with. I really like Peeta but maybe he dies to save Katniss? I like Gale too, and I think he'll be in the final book a lot more than he's been in the first two, but maybe he falls for Madge?

So I'm curious, what do you think? Peeta or Gale? Or maybe neither? Maybe Katniss dies to save them both!

Twilight Again

Yes, I read Twilight again this week. I just finished Catching Fire and had to get it out of my mind because the last book in the series will not be out until next fall. I'm waiting for several books at the library but since I had nothing else to read I thought I might as well read Twilight again to get ready for the New Moon movie in November. My books are still all on hold, nothing ready to pick up, sooooo I guess it's on to New Moon.

Update

I took Ty to his 15 month exam last week. His height is in the 64th percentile and his head is in the 45th percentile. Not bad. His weight is in the 1.93 percentile. It makes me laugh because he eats like crazy. He eats his food and then whenever he sees anyone with food go goes and begs to have some. He is healthy, he just can't gain weight! We love him. He is a trouble maker who loves to get into everything, loves to climb, and loves to cry when you take away whatever he has that he is not supposed to have. He is down to one nap and we feel lucky when he sleeps until 7 in the morning. I wouldn't change him for anything.
Lucas is in 1st grade and so far is not too bored. His favorite part of the day is recess because he gets to play football and basketball. Recently we found BYU uniforms on sale at the BYU bookstore. The haven't made them for a few years so we snatched one up and he wears it all the time. He is playing flag football and aspires to be a wide receiver some day. His favorite players are Austen Collie, O'Neill Chambers, and McKay Jacobson. He is a great kid and we are proud of him and all he is learning and doing.

Yummy Doughnuts

We have tried to go to a new doughnut place called 'Beyond Glaze' but have been unlucky in our timing. For example, we went the day after the 24th of July and they were closed. We never remember how big a deal Pioneer Day is here. Anyway we finally made it in a few Saturdays ago and this is what we got. They were so sweet and yummy (and expensive)! Lucas had a grasshopper, Bryan had German chocolate, and I had coconut cream. I could barely eat all of mine because it was so rich.

1st Grade

Lucas started 1st grade yesterday. He was so excited and so nervous. I can always tell when he is nervous because his smile is a little bit different. He got to wear his Bulls t-shirt and use his new backpack and lunch bag.
I waited for him on the front porch. It is so nice that his new bus stop is at the top of our street. I can see him get off and I don't even have to leave the house! That will be especially nice this winter.
After school I surprised him with a giant "1" cookie that stood for 1st grade. He loved it and to may amazement ate almost the whole thing right then! He is such a great kid. He is fun, friendly, and smart!

Grandpa Cray

My grandpa Cray passed away on August 17th and Monday was his funeral. Growing up he was a wonderful grandpa and although I miss him I'm grateful he was here on this earth for so long.
It was so nice to see so much extended family. Not just my mom's brothers and sisters but my grandma's brothers and sisters as well. I grew up going to California and visiting all these wonderful people. The above picture is of my grandma Cray and her children.
After the funeral we all went to Aunt Joan's home in Logan (where grandpa was buried) where we could eat, play, and visit with each other.
Lucas even got to swim a little bit. He stayed there with grandma Garner for a while longer after Bryan and I had headed back home. That made his day!

BYU Football Again

Last night was the "Cougar Kick Off", or as we affectionately call it, "Meet the Team". We went to the Brick Oven for dinner and then the sale inside the indoor practice facility. We didn't find anything really great but Lucas and I got t-shirts just like the ones the players are wearing in these pictures. The above picture is Lucas with Jan Jorganson. Jan Jorganson served his mission in Boise Idaho and met Scott and Brian. He had dinner several times with Grandma and Grandpa Jeppsen, and I think Ben even went on splits with him.
McKay Jacobsen is back from his mission and looked great at the scrimmage we went to. We were happy to find him. No one else was around him because I don't think people recognise him yet.
Lucas was so excited to find O'Neil Chambers. We were about ready to leave when we spotted him. He was the last player Lucas took a picture with. He also had some of the players sign his football.
Bronco spoke about the team. There was one thing that stood out to me. He said he is getting questions about the offensive line and should we be losing sleep. He said that he was losing sleep about it so we probably should be as well. Then he followed it up by saying, "Somebody will step up." Let's hope so. I've never heard Bronco say he was losing sleep about the team--scary!!
Here is Lucas with a real BYU football helmet on. We could buy one but they are $250.00. So not this year, but maybe next time.
