Good Old Brett Keisel

I know its hard to believe that this Grizzly Adams looking character is a former BYU football player. But it is. I remember a lot of years ago watching Brett Keisel playing at LaVell Edwards stadium with a clean cut face. Now as he prepares to play in the Super Bowel he looks like this. I just had to laugh when the news did an article on him and his beard. But good for him for getting the attention he deserves. He has been in the league for many of years and is a Steelers favorite for the fans. He was pretty low key on sports figures. I just liked the picture and figured it would be good to blog about. He is kinda scary, not some one to be met in a dark alley. Although I will be rooting for the Packers (only because they are the underdogs), I will root for the former BYU and Utah players playing on both sides of the ball. The Steelers have Brett, Chris Hokes, Stevenson Sylvester (yes I added a Utah Player). Packers have Jarret Bush (USU), and Brady Poppinga. So if you don't care about either team playing. Lets at least root for the players who played at the Utah's universities.

We've created a monster!!

A while back Anna gave McKinley a game boy advanced game about princesses. Don't ask me why she gave her that but she did. I knew some where in my box of junk that I had an old Game boy Advanced hand held system. I dug it out of retirement and gave it to McKinley. Ever since I did that she has been playing non stop. Last night, I saw the deterioration of what the game boy has done to McKinley. It was around her bed time but she was propped up against the love sack, rubbing her blood shot and red eyes. She had been playing for a while. Oh technology is not a good thing. She looked like she had been playing for hours. She loves playing that princess game. Cant read the instructions, or really doesn't know what to do. But to move and play as a princess is just fun to her. She is slowly picking up the concept of what to do. Once she has it, I will have to pry it from her fingers to get her to stop. I have created a monster!! A game boy playing monster!!

The Cape

Finally a guy show on television. A couple months back they featured a new series called the "Cape" its about a cop that becomes a water down, real life version of Batman but his cape has stretching abilities. I was very interested in watching it from the beginning. Although, the show is a little cheesy at times, I really like the idea they are trying to have. I really got into the story of the show. Best part of all, is that it comes on after the bachelor which Alicen watches. So that means, she usually watches it with me. Or pretends too. Finally a show, she has to struggle through for me. I have taken my lumps with Private Practice, 90210, Roswell (which I got into), the list is endless. So its good to see her have to take one for the team. But if your interested I recommend giving it a shot. I really like the villain Scales (the make up job on that guy is crazy good), plus if you like the guy that played the Juggernaut on X-Man 3. It's the same guy. Anyway its a show I like to watch. Its has action!

One Quick Wedding.

First off, Congrats to my little brother getting married. It was a very nice wedding and reception. Now the quick part. The wedding was really a "shot gun" wedding. It was very quickly planned and put together. My mom and sister did a lot of the work, even to the point of being around the clock. We did invites about a week before the wedding and then got everything ready the week of. They really did a good job getting everything together. Alicen volunteered to make the wedding cake (first of her life) and did really good. It was very pretty with cupcakes to give it some accents. The grooms cake was the hit of the night with a cake decorated as the X-Box symbol. All the guys liked that.
Mike and I got to string the lights above the room and that is always a chore. We ran out of wire, extension cords, and all functioning string of lights. About an hour before the wedding was to begin, we had two light strands not working, and no extension cords. It was crazy. I hope to never have to do that for a long time. But we got it all taken care of.
The wedding was very nice, and a lot of people showed up. McKinley did great as the flower girl and loved every minute of throwing the rose pedals, Ethan did great at bring the rings forward on a pillow. Although he thought it was a present. It was really surprising that nothing went really went wrong. That quick of a wedding, a person would think it would have a hiccup but it went off with a bang (pun intended). Congrats to Jayson & Paulina Kettenring. Just glad its all over with.

Proof that the UofU wants to be BYU!

Next Monday being the first day of school for Spring semester at the U. I figured I might as well start off with a bang. While looking online last night at Lids, I found this hat on the UofU page. My first responce was "finally, a hat I can wear!" I just thought it was funny to see Blue & White colors on a Utah Utes hat. Maybe the U and the Y are more connected then people would like to think in Utah. But looking at this hat, I think it would get alot of people to scratch there heads wondering which team that person would root for.
