A Game of World Domination

This weekend we went down to St. George where Randy and my dad played in a golf tournament together. It was really fun to just sit and relax. It was just my dad and Lance and Randy and I and Chase. So at night we decided to teach my dad and Lance how to play risk. Then we proceeded to get dominated by them. (We played in teams). In this game of chance it really doesn't help when you-- meaning me-- rolls snake eyes twice when being attacked! Randy and I just didn't have the magic touch. Seriously, Lance and my dad's worst obstacle was not Randy and I but each other-- when they would have to attack the other one their rolls were too high so they would take each other out before Randy and I did! It was a fun night though! Even if we still have to listen to my dad brag about his world domination prowess.

Oops...

Well there is a first for everything... I got into my first fender bender. It was all my fault. I was taking Chase to the County Health Department to get his flu shot and there was no parking so I saw an empty spot on the street that I needed to parallel-- so I started to pull in and got too close and swiped a car! From there I got out of my car to check out the damage and sure enough there is paint exchanged between both cars. Luckily for my car the paint came off but unfortunately for his car mine didn't. Anyway, since it was a parked car I decided to call the police to handle it because who knows how long the person would be. Once the police officer arrived she took my information and had me fill out a form-- while we are both filling out forms and not paying attention the car who I hit somehow drove away! The officer had taken their license down and found that it was a Lehi City car. Long story short, I am dealing with the City of Lehi about fixing the damage. Thankfully, they are being really nice and hopefully this won't cost a fortune right? Merry Christmas Jami.

To the Zoo We Will Go

So for Fall Break we went with Deb and Quincy and the gang to the zoo. There is a baby elephant there that we have all been dying to see and it did not disappoint. It was so cute. There was also a baby giraffe. The weather was perfect, the crowd wasn't too bad, and all the animals seemed to be out and about-- not just sleeping like usual. I think as far as the zoo goes this was one of our better trips. However, Chase did see on the map that we missed the owl exhibit and he was pretty ticked. He said that was his favorite part that we didn't even do. Oops!

Fantasy Football

So my latest obsession is Fantasy Football. Randy and I were invited to my cousin Sarah and her husbands league and now we are hooked! We have a decent team lead by Adrian Peterson-- we got the first pick in the draft so that is, of course, who we picked! Anyway, we had a strong start going 2-0, even defeating the strong team in Bone Crushers (it helped his QB got hurt Matt Hasselbeck). In week three we lost a nail biter to JD's team Pura Vida. We had a 6 point lead going into Monday nights game where JD had D. Williams for Carolina. We thought it was a sure loss but the Cowboys held him to just 7!!!! So we lost by one! But let me just say I have NEVER enjoyed the NFL like I have this season! We were watching Monday Night like it was the Superbowl! It is really fun! Now I can see how my dad has played this game for over 30 years with his friends. Very addicting! Thanks Sarah for the invite-- although you may regret letting us in because I am sure we will be taking home the pot! (He he he!)
