REAL Salt Lake Soccer

REAL Salt Lake had a great season and making it to the playoffs and playing in their awesome new stadium definitely made their year! We got to go to their game on Saturday. Hoping for a win to take them to the MLS Championship! It was my first time going to a game in their new stadium and it was so cool! Simon has been able to go a couple times. They had many close shots, but none of them went in. They lost! It was still enjoyable even if we were a little cold. President Uchtdorf was there also. We first saw him before the game down by the tunnel where the players come out and then later realized that he was sitting in the suite just above where we were sitting. So we had to get a picture!

We were there early and so most of the seats weren't filled yet. It ended up being a sell out crowd!

Can you see him? Right above the girl in the black coat! (I look like such a dork!)

Egg Nog

I am not a huge egg nog fan, but I usually like to try it at least once every holiday season. We were at Harmons grocery store last night and we passed by these and couldn't leave without buying some! They are delicious! Of course you can't drink more than a half a cup or else you might have a heart attack, but it sure can cure your sweet tooth quick! We tried the Sugar Cookie and Gingerbread flavors! YUMMY! They have Pumpkin and Cinnamon as well! So if you need your egg nog fix this holiday season you should try one of these!

November 2008

• Kajsa and I were watching Ellen on T.V. and it was previewing who was going to be on the show that day. David Archuleta, the American Idol runner-up, was going to be on and I pointed it out to Kajsa! She got so excited and said, "David! Oh, I missed him!" (She really got into the two Davids on American Idol last season!)
• The other day Kajsa told me she wanted to watch a movie. I asked which movie she wanted to watch and she said, "the jungle movie." I replied back by saying, "Oh okay, The Jungle Book movie." Then she said, "No, not Jungle Book movie, the jungle movie." Well, I guess that made sense. It wasn't a book that we were going to watch!
• Kajsa was talking about carseats and telling me that when she was little she used one like Brynn. Then she says (in a valley girl kind of way), "When I used it, it was like... so not funny." Hmmm...okay!?!
• While visiting my parents my dad told Kajsa that he was taking some meat scraps out to his dog, Sandy. When he got back he told her, "Sandy told me that the meat was yummy." She looked at him funny and said, "No she didn't, she said 'woof, woof'."
  

Teamwork

The other day I was playing the piano with the girls and then Kajsa decided to take over. I left the room and came back to find this. I guess since Kajsa couldn't reach the foot pedals, Brynn thought she would help her out!

Then they decided that it was fun to hang out under the piano bench!

Halloween 2008

We had the fun usual Halloween and like most people I have heard from I thought that it seemed to last forever ! Kajsa got to dress up a few times and she loved it! She went to her school's Halloween carnival and had fun playing games and getting prizes! Then she dressed up for school, a party at her friend Peter's house, and then Halloween night! We headed to Adam and Becky's house for some yummy taco soup and then the kids headed out to trick-or-treat! This was Kajsa's first experience trick-or-treating. I think she had fun! She was content with what she got. I even put most of the candy away and she hasn't noticed! Simon's Farmor is visiting from Sweden and got in on some of the crazy Halloween traditions!

All of the Östhed cousins minus Heidi and Mattias. :(
