An Upset!!

We're not huge NFL fans. Don't get me wrong, we love College Football and will watch a Colts game every so often, but we did make it a point to be home today in time for the Super Bowl! Ben and Noah watched the majority of the game together while I cleaned the bathrooms (it needed to be done!) and did a little bit of scrapbooking. I did make it down in time to watch the last few minutes of the game and WOW! I love a good upset, as long as it's not my team being "upset" and since I didn't have a vested interest in either team, what a great 4th quarter! :)

Daddy and Noah cheering on the Giants... well, Noah was sleeping, so Ben was cheering them on!

This was the only LOAD layout I finished today.... I realized that I didn't have very many pictures to work with so I did one LO in Noah "Preparing for Your Arrival" album (it's an 8x8 album). Nothing fancy or exciting, just a simple page! Tomorrow, Noah and I are going to go and get some pictures developed so we can get back on track! :)

Go Sooners!

Okay, so I know they lost. And I know they are probably (okay, they are definitely) out of the race for the National Championship. But that doesn't mean I can suddenly stop supporting them - I bleed Sooner Red! So, to my dear Sooner boys, especially dear Sam Bradford, please don't let me down next week when we play OSU.

Angie and I (and Noah) after the OU-Texas Tech game (I actually was able to watch it here in California!!), winning the night in Euchre, and of course, a game of Wii Bowling.... She and Greg were thrilled that Ohio State beat Michigan! :)

It's never a dull day

One thing we can say about living in Sunny Southern California is that there is ALWAYS something to do. After Christian was picked up this morning, Ben and I went down to Ft. Mac (the base housing in San Pedro) for the Fall Festival. We had **free food** (always a favorite with us!), cotton candy, and fun! We ran into the "other" Smith's (plus a couple of their friend's little ones) while they were riding on the train, and Angie was the brave one who petted the huge rabbit in the petting area.



After we left Ft. Mac, Ben and I ran a few errands and then went back down to Ft. Mac to watch the Ohio State -Penn State game with the Freys and the Kauffmans. Ben and I remained neutral since Greg and Angie were rooting for Ohio State and Matt and Kristin were rooting for their alma mater Penn State... I mean, who wants to cause trouble with their friends? The funniest part of the evening was when Matt and Kristin strategically placed several Penn State paraphernalia around the living room and Greg and Angie took forever to notice it all! It was all in good fun and, even though the game ended badly for Penn State, I think everyone had a wonderful time!
