Smurfs celebrate their 50th birthday

Ok, I might be a little late on this one..

 Oct. 22 was the real date for this 50th birthday celebration.

I do remember watching this cartoon in the 70's. My younger siblings were the ones who grew watching the SMURFS!

I could never seen the cuteness of these blue pixie's. :(

Football Fever

My Top Reasons why I love BYU Football

1. The energy and enthusiasm I feel in the La Vell Edwards Stadium.

2. Hearing - "That will be another Cougar".... and Saying- " First Down" 

3. Sharing a "Cougar Tail"...(Rectangle donut with maple glaze).

4. Watching the continuing saga on the big screen of Cosmo fighting EVIL.

5. Sharing Warm Kettle Korn with my family.

BYU's ranking is 14th in the nation..not to shabby for a "Mountain West College"!

Cougars Beat The Utes! 

RAH

Y verses U

Whos' gonna Win this weekend?

RED or BLUE?

Cosmo that who...

GO COUGARS!

RIP

It finally happened..the mouse is dead..that took three days to happen.

My version of Tom & Jerry

On Sunday this week, late at night, Joel was up watching late night TV when he heard a squeek..he looked down on the floor to see "Buddy" (kitty) with a mouse in his mouth! (the cat comes in from the outside thru the "doggie"door.)

Joel then moved a little to fast..Buddy got scared and released the mouse, the mouse ran under the sofa....and here is where we begin the Tom & Jerry saga!

For the past five days we have a mouse living under the stove. We set two mouse traps with peanut butter..this mouse is a great escape artist, he managed to gobbled up the pb without a SNAP!

Buddy holds vigil by the stove everyday...

Today is "dooms-day" for little mouse, we bringing the big guns in...Decon mouse trap hotels!

Sorry to all mouse lovers but this ones got to go...:(
