Superbowl Blow-out

By Sunday afternoon, I had come to terms with the Patriots winning the big game. And I was going to be OK with that for a couple reasons, one of which is that Tom Brady is hot. A second good reason was that if they could pull it off, that would definitely be awesome to go for a whole season un-de-feated. I mean really, what an accomplishment. Plus, someone needs to put the 1972 Dolphins back in their place. Do you find it odd that I even know this much about it? Come on, look who I am married to! At any rate, I was prepared to accept Eli's defeat. But man, did they turn it on or what? Did Tom ever make it out of the dressing room? And how 'bout that Giant's defense! And Eli made very good use of his little arm! They did what had to be done when no one thought they could do it!


But in reality, the Superbowl is really about the food, the friends and the commercials...and we loved all of it!


The kids had a blast playing with Bridger.

They even watched some of the game!


Rachelle got the ring....


We had ate cute food...


And lots of it!
And check out the cute video of the kids goofing off at Rachelle's site.

And my personal favorite commercial was the one with the fire breathing man (fire breathing no longer included) and the one with the giant pigeons. Oh, and the one with the squirrel in the road.

Good job, Eli!

Looks like you guys had a ton of fun! Your food spread looks so much better than the salad I made Nick eat. Poor guy had to watch the Super Bowl with his lame wife, and eat a salad.

"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
