We had a glorious Christmas holiday that was full of friends, family, and laughter. Dallas and I are so fortunate to have such wonderful families. We love spending time with them and that's what we were able to do over the Christmas holiday. We spent Christmas Day with Dallas' family and then we were able to go visit and spend some time with my family for New Year's! It was the first time that all of my family was able to get together in a very long time. We were only missing Dennis who is serving his mission in Argentina! We had a blast and we didn't want the holiday to end. We went to San Francisco on New Year's Day where Dallas had his first bowl of clam chowder in a famous San Fran sourdough bread bowl. He loved it and can't wait to go back for more. I don't like... actually, I HATE seafood, but even I LOVE that clam chowder! I have miss placed some of my photos from Christmas here in Provo, so most of these are from California. As soon as I find the other pictures I'll add them in!

Las Vegas Bowl 2007!!
I can't believe I have been so behind on my blogging! Lots of things have been happening since the last time I posted way back in November! So, I am going to attempt to start playing catch up and recommit to being a better blogger! Dallas did a great job in the Las Vegas Bowl game against UCLA. It was definitely a nail biter of a game, but we came out victorious in the last few seconds when UCLA missed their field goal. It was an amazing feeling when that happened. I am so proud of my sweetheart for working so hard and having such a great season. I've made a little slide show of some highlights of our trip down to Vegas. We had the opportunity to see Cirque de Soleil (I think that's how you spell it), but we weren't allowed to take pictures. It was a neat experience. I was able to accompany Dallas to a luncheon and we were so fortunate to have the support of so many family members who came down to watch the game! Thanks everyone for your support!

Reynolds Wrap
I realized that there aren't many pictures of Dallas and me on here, so I thought that I would put together my very first slide show of us! The music is great, so turn it up if you want to smile--Enjoy!
Odds and Ends
Dallas has had a wonderful season so far this year. He just played a great game against TCU. BYU did a 
wonderful job and it was a fun one to watch. We came out with another "W"-- Yay! Dallas went against 
one of the greatest defensive ends in the country (Tommy Blake) and gave an outstanding performance. I think he did a fabulous job (way to go Babe!). These are some photos I took at the CSU game from a couple of weeks ago when my mom was in town. We went to the game with Jeff and my nephews. The shot with the grey hair would have been perfect, but the guy in front of me leaned forward right when I shot it! :(I bought some shelves while my mom was in town a couple of months ago. I loved the design of them, however they did not quite match our apartment. They were originally white and I thought they would match our things perfectly, but once I got them home I rea
lized they were the wrong "shade" of white. Anyway, my mom suggested that I paint them. I loved the idea, but was a little nervous to venture out and do something like that myself. While my mom was in town f
or her birthday recently (Happy Birthday, Mom!) we finally painted the base coat. She went back to California and left me to finish the accent or "antiquing" myself. So, I have finally finished the shelves and Dallas and I hung them the other day. I was so excited to finish this project and wanted my mom to see some pictures of how they turned out. Now all I have to do is figure out what to put on them... (hopefully it won't take so long!)
I know that Halloween is over, but I couldn't not post anything about it. We were never able to carve our pumpkins-- I should state that differently: On Halloween day I went to the store and the pumpkins were on sale for fifty cents each and I couldn't pass up a deal like that! Dallas and I didn't have time to carve them, but we were happy we at least had some pumpkins on our doorstep!
I have been feeling quite festive lately. Now that Halloween is over I am already thinking about Christmas.
There was a great sale at Robert's the other day and I found a beautiful wreath that I got a steal on! This wreath is great. You can't tell from the picture, but it looks like it is frosted with sparkles. I need to spruce it up a bit, but I thought I would include a picture anyway.

Blizzard!
What a weekend!! BYU played Eastern Washington on Saturday, and even though we came out on top (
7-42) it was quite a game! My dad was flying in for the weekend, so I was stoked that he was finally going to get to watch a home game with me. We had heard that there was going to be a chance of rain, so we went prepared to the game with a beach towel, a blanket, ponchos, coats, gloves, stadium seats,
beanies... you name it! I have watched too many games in pouring rain, and I actually wanted to be prepared this time. Prepared we were. 
Knowing Provo, we had no idea what was going to happen at this point in the season. Rain could mean snow or sunshine. There's just no way of knowing. We happened to see it all on Saturday: cold rain, warm sunshine, slush, sleet, snow, and finally a blizzard! I think Dad and I used every little thing that we brought. Dad and I sat comfortably all bundled up in our blue ponchos and layers of clothing, sipping our hot chocolate while everyone around us scrambled to seek shelter. It was so much fun!! We had a blast. Dallas played great--even on a sprained ankle. His ankle got tackled during the UNLV game and he came home with a purple baseball on the side of his f
oot. This picture doesn't really do it justice. Hopefully he will make a speedy recovery. I know he's tough, but I hate seeing my sweetheart get hurt!
Sunday night we went over to Jennie's house for dinner. Jackson and Jared
dressed up in their fireman and policeman outfits for us and Jared wrote Dallas a ticket for, "being too big!" It was so cute! Dad had a fun time with the boys and holding Isabella. Mom was sad that she wasn't here with my dad, but we'll get her up here soon!

Weekend Travels and Fun
Last weekend was Dallas' "bye" weekend, meaning it's the only weekend that he does not have a football game during the season. I don't know how Dallas does it all. Being a student athlete is tough and this break was well deserved. We were fortunate enough to have a very eventful weekend! We spent most of the time relaxing in beautiful Park City. The hotel we stayed in was very nice and we really enjoyed the half indoor/ half outdoor pool!
On Saturday we drove up to Pocatello, Idaho to celebrate my grandpa Bob's 90th birthday! He and my Gram are wonderous with their good health. It was so great to see them and to visit my birthplace! Dallas and I even stopped at one of our family favorites--Tasty Treat for a "Space Burger" and "Boston Shake"... delicious! One thing we weren't expecting was driving up in the first (and way too early in the season) snowstorm! Our windshield wipers broke, and it was an adventure making it up to Pokey!
My dad and Brett flew in from California for my grandpa's birthday. I was so happy to see them, but the real treat came when they visited us at our apartment for a few hours. We had a blast with them here. We all decided to p
lay a little Guitar Hero--we never knew Dad was such a great rocker! It was a wonderful weekend!

Catch up!
Wow... so much has happened in the last few months I don't even know where to begin! We have been internetless (I know that's no
t a word) since our last post, but I am happy to have it back and be blogging once again!
Dallas is back in school now and the football season
is well under way. He has been having a great season, as well as the whole BYU team. I have loved going to the home games and loved the opportunity I had to go to the UCLA game with JT, Britney, Brooke, and the rest of my family! Isn't Brooke adorable?! I think she looks exactly like "Boo" from Monsters Inc.
Dallas and I are also thrilled with our two new nieces: Rylie and I
sabella! I have included pictures of both of them. We think our nieces are just beautiful! Rylie is the cute, petit
e blonde and Isabella is the sweet, plump brunette. Isabella has the cutest rolls!
One of the highlights of our summer was the trip to Bear Lake with Dallas' family. I didn't get too many pictures because we spent most of the time having fun in the water!
