The regular season has come to a close and the top four teams are advancing to the playoffs, congratulations to them and better luck next year for the rest. Thanks to everyone who participated and I hope you all return next year for the rematches, as well as anyone else who may wish to throw their hand in and try to win it all. Now on to the playoffs.

December 26 will be the second week of the finals and the championship match will determine who takes home the trophy. This seasons front runners have been Cotton’s Champs with their MVP candidate quarterback Drew Brees, but following close behind has been Mrs. The Keck with her own MVP candidate LaDainian Tomlinson. Darin’s Pain had a thrilling final week victory over Pace’s Penguins to catapult himself into the number three spot and faces the number two seed with his all-pro quarterback Carson Palmer. Rounding out the group of finalists is TheKeck with his ecclectic group of talent making everyone guess just who will he start each week.TheKeck tumbled to the fourth spot unexpectantly (or perhaps well planned) so he will not face his own wife in the preliminaries but may have to take her down if he can get past Cotton’s Champs.

This season has been very exciting and the end is just around the corner as we crown a champion of McNFL football 2006 the day after christmas. Good luck to the contestants and merry christmas to everyone who is a spectator!

Chase is fighting the crawling stage as much as he can. He loves to be held up so he can practice putting one foot in front of the other, and he really likes standing next to something and thinks it’s really funny if he falls b/c he let go. Check out the video of him standing with help from the couch if you want. (It’s 4.5MB) We try to set him in the crawl position but he only lunges forward with any kind of power he has, then kicks his legs as if he were walking. You’ll see his skills in the video. He can lunge up to 10cm now… we’re very proud.

HAPPY BIRFDAY!!

HAPPY BIRFDAY JOY!! Today the amazing Joy McCulloch ages gracefully to the year of 23. Congrats to her for making it this far with out an ulcer. Today for her birthday she did not receive a Nintendo Wii, which have been said to be so much fun fans are getting out of control and find the remote controls flying out of their hands. I mention this b/c when Joy heard these new systems had motion controlled sensors, she said, “Sounds like I would even have fun playing that”. With that I present to you this birthday video, this is how I see my wife/mom/sister inlaws playing video games.

The Big Change

As I have mentioned before, I have wanted to try getting some highlights in my hair for the first time. I have been looking at my hair and deciding that it’s been getting too dark for my liking, so I decided to go for it. “How bad could it turn out?” is what Rachel said the night before when I was expressing my reluctance. I wanted to do it, though. I am cheap so I just went to a local beauty school where the coloring is $20. It ended up taking 3 hours, and Rachel was entertaining Chase there the whole time and wondering when it would end. The girl who did my hair was so excited, saying I would love it!!! Yay! But when all was said and done, it didn’t look hardly any different! I think it just didn’t sit in my hair long enough to take very well. So I made an appointment to go back and have someone else do it (for free since they messed up the first time) and make it a little more noticeable, because i wanted my hair to look lighter! Rachel for some reason agreed to watch Chase again, so I went. It ended up taking almost 4 hours this second time, yes just for highlights, not even a haircut with it. I was so out of it at the end and I vowed never to do it at a beauty school again. They just take too long! I mean, I’ll still get my hair cut at those places, just because I’m not picky about what my haircut is like, but not color! So anyway, the result is that my hair is indeed lighter, but I don’t think I’m a huge fan of what it looks like on me. I think they did it too chunky and I can’t decide if I look like a wannabe blonde or white trash. But it’s not THAT bad…. Just in time for my birthday!

Surprise from UPS

Yesterday I was talking with my mom, TMom, about how sometime I want to get a big, heavy duty paper trimmer to replace the tiny, dinky one that I currently have. The big ones are obviously bigger so they’re easier to use with scrapbook paper, cards and anything else, and you can cut many papers at once. Then today I received a surprise in the mail as an early birthday present. Yep, you guessed it, a brand new paper cutter from the parents! I was very shocked and excited. I called Mom and she said she had just ordered it last night! Wow. Thanks, parents! And happy birthday to me! And the moral of the story is, if you ever want anything, casually mention it to TMom and it may magically arrive at your home the next day!

Brrrrr Cold


Well, it’s winter time here in Utah. It snowed two days in a row and now the sun is finally out but it’s 15 degrees outside. Joy and I were going to start walking for exercise… guess that will have to wait, I don’t walk unless it’s at least 16 degrees. 🙁

Chase’s New CD

The Black Friday sales weren’t bad around here. I got a few things that we’ve been wanting for a while, for cheap. It was fun, but I can’t say I was as into it as most of the residents of Utah that flooded the stores at 5am if not earlier. Pace was out that early, just because he was still awake, and he said there were people lined up galore outside the stores. A few items I wanted were definitely long gone by the time Rachel, Chase and I straggled in at like 9:30 am. It seems like this would not really be the case, but it appears as though Utahans in general love STUFF!!! Stuff, stuff and more stuff. But one thing I got that I would like to recommend to parents or future parents is this cd I bought for Chase (well, for all of us, really), entitled “A Child’s Prayer.” It’s very peaceful and, as Pace described it, “boring.” But I love it because it makes me feel a little calmer while putting Chase to bed, which is an ordeal since he tends to despise sleep these days. I don’t know if this cd will really make your kids “internalize gospel messages as they fall asleep” as the ad on the Deseret Book website claims, but hey, it’s nice to listen to anyway!

In case you hadn’t heard, which most of you have except me… Nada got her braces off. I haven’t heard b/c they haven’t been by to see me since she got them off. Kind of like when your teenager gets their drivers license, you don’t see them anymore… now that Nada is so popular and attractive, she does come round no more. In other news, BYU beat Utah in the best football game I’ve seen all year. Joy was called to be the beehive adviser, and I am going to be an teaching Elders quorum. Oh and Chase is driving.

Thanksgiving was fun, we had a good time relaxing and eating food, hanging out with friends and family that were in town. We kept meaning to go see Bond after Tyler’s review.. but it just never happened. Maybe next week.
