Eliza Mae Photograghy

Since Eliza installed "Instagram" app on her itouch she has been spending time taking photos and editing them.. Here are some of her favorites and mine too...
Phebe loves being the model..
The chairs at the Marriott Center..
My wonderful layered jello salad that I made for thanksgiving...
Eliza, I didn't recognise her without her basketball shorts on....
The fall leaves....
The view from our window......
Now I want an iphone so I can play with the app as well.....

East high..

On Friday we decided to take Gary to the Zoo up in Salt Lake, we have been there a couple of times already but never with Gary.. The girls were excited but not because of the Zoo.... but because we went and took some photo's outside "East High".For anyone who doesn't know what is So special about this High School....
It is the School that "High School Musical" movies were filmed...
Phebe kept on walking around saying "Zac Efron was here, I'm breathing his air"


The girls did enjoy the Zoo too, but Phebe wants to go back and buy a t-shirt from the bookstore...

TOTO......

Part of Gary's "Hardie Fellowship" proposal was that he wanted to attend to NCTE (National Confernce for Teachers of English).. Gary and another 10 thousand lovers of English gathered in Chicago (Eden says "Toto")...
After attending my workshops and getting books signed and making some contacts, he found some time to do a little bit of sight seeing... He really enjoyed the Museum and in general liked the city..



He was talking to a local and was saying to her that" Chicago was a really big city".... The lady replied "I thought there was only 600 000" (current is 2896 016)....




During his visit he still found some time to look up some one's skirt.....

Touchdown....

Saturday night in the freezing cold (the girls stayed at home) Gaz and I headed down to our last football game. It was about 2 degrees and even the over priced hot chocolate didn't warm us up!!!
As you can see it wasn't a sell out game.. I think the weather might have something to do with it.. Six minutes before half time BYU were 24 points in front, so we left and went back and watched the rest on TV..
Thanks for the memories COUGARS!!!!

Liken...

This week Liken released their new DVD... "Jonah and the Great Fish".. They tell Bible stories in a way that is interesting and funny and their production company just happens to be based in Provo.. We were excited to see that they announce a FREE screening and meet the cast night.. We missed out on the 7 pm showing so I registered Gaz, Phebe and Eliza for the 9pm showing..
Another DVD to add to the collection and signed ones at that.. We even brought some for our Tassie friends to add to their collection....LOVE living in Provo...

It's Time.......

Basketball season has started up again... The women's team were playing a home game and the Men were playing up in Logan about 2 hrs away
I love going to the women's games as they don't get as big crowds as the men's and they also have lots of promotions for free admission for $1 or $2 tickets..
Because it was their first game for the season they had a poster signing after the game. We even made it on the BYU Women's Basketball Facebook page..

Hope the women's team has a great season and we will get to see a few games before we leave the land of the Cougars....
