This has been a crazy month! I thought this was going to be so easy but, I just need to make more time. My friend Lisa Kenney has been helping me out with this, so I hope I payed attention!
Well this past weekend were 2 big games for our boys. Tyson's team had to win in order to make the play-offs. Jackson's team well, they pretty much needed a win too. They both played Riverton, which are pretty good teams. Tyson's team won, 19-0!!! Yeah! So they are in the play-offs for sure! They played really well! Jackson's team played great! They looked good! But, they lost 15-8. Jackson had a really good game! Also what made the game really good was Randy was able to make BOTH of the games! Which never happens, so we were all really excited! This week they play Bingham, another really hard team. Tyson's team is in the play-offs for sure, but Jackson's team needs a win to make the play-offs.
Then after the game Tyson had a few friends over to hang out, and Jackson went with a few of his friends to go see "THRILLER", it is a performance put on every October by Odyssey Dance Company, it is at Kingsbury Hall. They have a friend, Jayden who dances in it. But the four boys said they liked it. (I'm sure they did).
Sunday we had some people from Randy's work, and the neighborhood, and some friends over for a BBQ. It was a lot of fun. We had a good turn out too. This Sunday is my mom's side of the family, Fox Halloween party, at our house. It is always a good time!

Saturday

Thursday October 2 we were able to get tickets to the Utah VS. Oregon game. It was so much fun! It was such a big game for Utah, and they won! We had a great time.
Friday October 3 the boys both had football practice. Tyson's psych night was the marshmellow shooting guns. The boys always like that. Then after we went to the Brighton VS. Alta game. Alta has such a good team, and they are Brighton's big rival. Well, when we got there, it was still in the first quarter, and it was already 21-0 for Alta. So we knew it wasn't going to be pretty. The final score was 45-0. We had a good time though.
Today were both the boys' games. It was raining so hard all day, and suppose to rain tomorrow too. So it was really cold. Jackson's team won, 41-0, and Jackson got a fumble recovery, it was awsome! Tyson's team had a good game, but they lost 14-13. It came down to the last couple minutes. It was sad, but they played their hearts out. Tyson played great and he forced a fumble.
Tonight Tyson is having some boys from his team over. He didn't really have a birthday with friends, so this can count. They are having pizza, and treats. They are playing the Nintendo Wii and the XBox 360. They are funny, they sit and text their friends, and girls. I told Jackson that next week he can have a few friends over. Well its about 9:00pm and Randy said it was pretty dead so he should be getting home in the next little while. Also something pretty neat,my brother Gavin left today to go back to an NFL game, with some guys from his work. They are going to see his FAVORITE team The Green Bay Packers VS. The Atlanta Falcons. Gavin has been a faithful Green Bay fan through the good and the bad. We are really excited for him.
Well I am going to try to keep this up. I will eventually have pictures too. Hopefully sometime, I will have something else to talk about besides football. But, tis the season right now!

Tyson wanted everybody to know that he got an Ipod for his birthday. He was so excited. So an Ipod plus football ALL weekend, what else could he ask for.
Also today is my Grandma and Grandpa Erickson's 69th wedding anniversary!!! 69 years, that is amazing to me! My Grandma is 88 and my Grandpa is 90, and both are still doing pretty good!

Well, I am still trying to figure this out. We had a great weekend! Randy took Saturday off, so it was fun hanging out with him. It was also Tyson's 13th birthday! So after the boys' practice on Friday, we went to the Brighton High School game. They played Taylorsville and beat them 41-0. FINALLY Brighton won! It was great. Randy brought home one of his boss's big nice trucks (big like a mack semi) for Ty's birthday. Tyson loves that truck, so we took that to the high school game! The boys' each brought some friends, so it was fun.
Saturday Jackson's team lost 35-0, it wasn't fun. Then Tyson's team lost 27-0. They both played Alta, their big rival, so we weren't happy. Its ok though, we play Woods Cross next week, so we need to make a come back.
After the boys' games, we rushed off to the Utah Utes game! They were playing Weber State. The Utes won 37-21! So that was really fun. Before the game we got to Tail Gate at the Call radio tent. Our good friend Chris Willmore works with Call radio, and she let us in. We had free drinks and dinner. Wingers catered it, so it was really good. Then we just walked over to the game.
On Sunday for Tyson's birthday we went to Bonsai. That is always good. Max and Jane went too. This time Jane liked the fire but Max didn't. Max sort of warmed up to it by the end. Then we came back to our house for ice cream and cake. I think he had a pretty good birthday. It was really fun having Randy be with us all weekend!
Hopefully I will figure out how to post pictures soon!

This is new for me, but I thought it would be a good way to keep everybody up to date on what is going on with our family.
Jackson is in 9th grade and it is his last year at Albion Middle School. Tyson is in 7th grade and it is his first year at Albion Middle School. They both are taking pretty hard classes, and are both doing really well.
Football is going great for both boys. Tyson's team is undefeated and Jackson's team has lost only one game. Next week the 27th is a big game against our rival, Alta. Randy even took that day off. Plus it is Tyson's 13th birthday. So it will be fun!
I hope this ends up being a good idea, with this blog. I think it will be fun. Especially when I figure out what I am doing!
