Babysitting Fun

This past Saturday night I went over to Travis and Heather's to babysit Tyler for the evening. I arrived to a not so happy Tyler lying down on the cement next to his scooter. I thought he looked adorable with his striped shirt and beanie. They had just taken family pictures. So I ate dinner with them and then Travis and Heather went off to Cold Stone and to the Dollar Theatre to watch Kung Fu Panda. Tyler and I had a blast. He rode his spider man scooter faster than I was expecting so I ended up running to catch up to him. We walked around the neighborhood admiring the many Halloween decorations. People go all out! I asked Tyler, "What are you going to be for Halloween?" "A pirate" "Tyler, what should I be for Halloween?" After a few long moments of concentration, "A Danielle costume! You'll have hair and arms and eyes." "What? I am already Danielle. I want to be something silly." "OOOOOOK...You should be a HOUSE! With a big smiley face and windows." A house for Halloween it is. Cassie Web, Travis' sister ended up stopping by for a bit. Tyler was playing quietly with his cars a few feet away. I talked quietly to Cassie, "I just love this kid." She agreed and said, "Yeah he's cute." Suddenly Tyler's head pops up as he states confidently, "You do love me." We didn't realize the kid was listening! Lastly, before watching Peter Pan Tyler randomly flexed his muscles for me and proceeded to get down on all fours to show me how to do a push-up. Here's a video of it. It's hard to hear him but he says, "You put your chin down and move your body up...ect." This guy is a little athlete!

REAL Soccer game...

So I went to watch the REAL soccer team play in Sandy Utah. It was their first game played in the new stadium so there was a big carnival before the game. Kids were hugging the mascot, but I interrupted and asked him to take a picture with my friends and I.

And I also took a picture with a kind magician...


The game was fun to watch. I was impressed at how well the players have perfected the art of flopping to the ground every time they are touched by a player of the opposite team...There were a few yellow cards and a red card given out. The game ended in a tie 1-1, which was lame, but it was still exciting when we scored a goal on a corner kick. Oh and it was freezing outside! Everyone was bundled up with their blankets and beanies. I looked like a homeless person...

Soccer!

So I was talking to this nice fellow in my physiology lab and found out he is a huge soccer fan. He went on to tell me that he and his buddies are all going to see the Salt Lake Real play on Thursday. I was a little forward and gave him my number to call me if they have any extra tickets. He called me up so I am going to my first professional soccer game tomorrow in the new stadium in Sandy, Utah! I am way excited and I will try to take some pictures to share my experience!
Love you all,
