UFC Fight Night

On Saturday night Mike and I attended fight night at Hooters with a couple of friends of ours and some of my co-workers. I was a little apprehensive about going to Hooters. I had not been there before and I think it's reputation was preceding itself. Not sure what I was expecting, but it was a fun place to go to watch the fight and eat a lot of buffalo wings.

The gang included myself, Mike, Steve, Ryan, Frank, Clint, Spencer, Jim and Tanner. I don't usually hang out with 7 guys and be the only girl, but it was lots of fun. I think it's cool that the guys from work invited me and my husband and friends to hang out with them.

The fight itself was good. I was rooting for Lesnar and he won by submission. He is a HUGE guy and beat the heck out Couture in round two. I'm just excited it went past one round. To me it's not much of a fight if it only lasts a couple of minutes. The prefights were all very short but fascinating. One guy looked like he was going to get his arm broken off.

Here are some pictures. The first picture is the whole gang, second picture is Steve(on the left) and Ryan (on the right). The third picture is Frank (on the left), Clint (in the middle) and Spencer on the right.

This is funny!

This is Fred eating out of his food container (excuse the messy floor, I need to clean the area where he eats). On Sunday after we had returned home from having dinner with friends, Mike brought in a new bag of dog food from my car. As he fills the container I go into another room to check our phone messages. After a few minutes I realize I hear chomping coming from the kitchen. I ask Mike if he had fed the dog and he said no so I walk into the kitchen and this is what I see. Mike had inadvertently left the lid off the container and Fred was helping himself to a late night snack. Mike and I broke out into hysterically laughing as we watch Fred eat his food. A few times he would stop eating, look up at us waiting for us to get mad at him and then go back to eating. Instead of getting upset I got my camera and then fed him a little food. I guess he was hungry.

Happy Birthday Steve

On Monday, our friend Steve turned 26 and we had a fun time celebrating his birthday at Rodizio's. We had a great time hanging out with Steve, his mom and some friends. The food was fabulous as always. Of course we all felt like we had to roll out of the restaurant since we ate so much. Here are a couple of pictures from the evening.

Happy Birthday Steve!

Will He Never Learn?!

As you all know we have a cat. He's super cute and cuddly, but very disobedient. He loves to get on every flat surface in our house. The mantle, the numerous tables, counters, sink, etc. No matter how many times you tell him to get down or spray him with water(he hates that) he gets back up.

For instance, the other night I turned around and spotted the cat on my phone table (it has an official name, but I can't think of it). This is an antique table I have inherited from my grandmother. It's a beautiful wood table with attached seat. It was made for putting your telephone on top and inside the table you put your phone books. So cute. I used to play on this table for hours at my grandparents house. Anyway, the seat cover is embroidered by my grandmother and I don't want the cat to be on it. So of course he loves that seat because it's a flat surface.

So I told the cat to get off (picture one) , he looked at me and promptly went to sleep (picture two). I didn't know if I should get mad or laugh so I took pictures and then made him get down. He was back on it a couple of hours later. Go figure.

Sweetheart Quiz

I decided that while I'm watching tonights debate I would post this cute quiz I got off Viv's blog. Don't get me wrong I like the debate, but I can't just sit and watch it, I have to be doing something else too.

General Conference

This weekend is LDS General Conference. I love these conferences (April and October). It's very uplifting to listen to the leaders of the church. This month I've been a member for 15 years (1993 was a very big year for me) and have felt like I made a very good decision to get baptized.
You can listen to conference talks at lds.org.

It's quite rainy today, but so beautiful. I love rainy days. There is only one downside to rain and that is Fred. He will not go outside in rain. It doesn't matter how much he has to go to the bathroom he will not go if it's raining. Snow is another matter. He doesn't mind snow in fact he loves it. Go figure. I love rain, he doesn't. I don't like snow, he loves it. Must take after Mike. :)

Our LPA dinner last weekend was great. We had the biggest turnout ever and was so much fun. I love hosting these events. Next up is our Halloween party at the end of the month. That one is always fun. The kids are so cute in their costumes.

This upcoming week will be fun and busy. The Jazz preseason begins this week, I have a birthday dinner for Michael and Lena (from work) to attend and my mom is coming for a visit. We always have fun when she comes to town.
