BYU 28 Notre Dame 24!

Last night the Whitneys came over for our regular  tailgate party before the BYU game started.  As you know Notre Dame WAS ranked No. 2 in the AP polls so I wasn't sure what to expect.  What I loved was that in spite of the "nail biting" experience BYU WON!  Another fun part of the game was a picture we got from Uncle Christian's brother with Jane and her Whitney Uncle and Aunt together.  Jane was working at the BYU game as part of the security and traffic control and in that huge crowd they found each other!!

Cat Grooming!

Goblin has become pretty famous on Instagram and so it is important to keep looking her best.  Lexy makes sure that she is well groomed!

Visit to Tucson

The Whitney's invited me to come with them to visit Lincoln this weekend.  It was a great day.  Lincoln had the activities planned for us and did a great job.  We started at the Pima Air Museum, then over for a hike in a natural preserve.  After that we stopped by the Tucson Temple so the kids could see it and then finished at a Mexican food restaurant.  We hoped to sit outside in the patio area but that changed when the  rain started coming down.  The food was amazing.

This was the Air Force One that President Johnson flew on

Ellis' "Handy" Work

This weekend Ellis did Lexy's nails.  Who would have thought it!  The theme of the nails were from "Over the Garden Wall."   

Happy Birthday Ava!

Battle of the Books!

I was able to attend Graham's school's program "Battle of the Books" today.  There were five teams.  They were given three books to read and study from (I only remember a couple of them--Artimas Fowl, Bunnicula) and then they came together with the other teams where they were given quotes from the book and had to tell the name of the book and the author in the first round.  Then they had to answer questions about things in the book in the second phase.  Graham and his team did a great job.  After the program they were each given their next books to read and study before the next battle in early December for round two.  Graham was the spokesman for his group and he did an amazing job!

Jeremy

Tonight Jeremy had his first orchestra performance of the year at the University of Nebraska.  I was able to watch it and it was really nice to see and hear.  I am so used to attending the Whitney's concerts over the last six years so it was interesting to see so many university students of all ages participating.  Great job Jeremy!
