Our First Week Of The Basketball Season In Utah With The Family- Nov. 3-10, 2008

I failed to insert these pictures of Coriann starting in the exhibition game with BYU vs. Dixie college on Nov. 8th. It was in the evening  after the football game with SDS below. Coriann
scored 11 points & had 4 rebounds, an assist & steal & she was 6-6 from the free throw line. She made a 3-point shot, but I'm not sure if the pic. above is the one she made.
A really cute picture of Calee Tomlinson (my great-niece & Coriann's cousin) age four, who was also there with her mother, Sherri, to help celebrate.
A nice family picture of Jayce, Veronica, Brandon, & Michael Wood as they came to celebrate.
Coriann's gifts unveiled. An America's team poster from several years back with (Jordan, Payton, Stockton, Bird, etc.) Michael is checking it out. A special sister collage from Janica, a basketball lamp, some clothes & other fun stuff. Calee & Sherri Tomlinson, Seth Ellsworth & Janica in the background.
And now for all the fun presents. My niece, Sherri Tomlinson is in the background.
We had a family birthday party for Coriann, on Nov. 9th (her real birthday is the 11th). She's now a BIG 20, no longer a teenager. She always likes the party rainbow chip cake with matching frosting.
         We got to see Spencer Hadley #50, from home, again as he's preparing for the game. He's been getting to see more time on the field.
                       BYU warming up for the game.
Jay (right corner) & I headed to the BYU vs. SDS football game on Nov. 8th at the LaVell Edwards stadium. I always love to see the huge mountains in the background...such a great backdrop!
Jay & I attended the Provo temple on Nov. 7th- a crisp fall morning. We always find great peace & solace at the temple & we're able to meditate & concentrate on what our priorities should be. We come away with a greater resolve to be more loving & kind & we treat one another better. We also seem to have more patience & tolerance with everyone & are able to have the guidance of the Spirit more prevalent in our everyday lives as we attend each week. What a wonderful blessing! That evening Jay & I went to the new CineMark theater to see "Madagascar II". We were greatly entertained.
Here's Veronica & Michael meeting Cosmo, the Cougar (BYU mascot). We're #1! Sorry Michael is a bit dozy in this pic.

It was great fun to see our little grandson's at the game. Here is Jayce laughing away at Grandpa Wood.
Nov. 5th, after starting to help Janica on her wedding announcements, we attended Coriann's 1st exhibition game for the season of basketball, BYU vs. W. Oregon. We won 79-51. In this pic., they are all over Coriann #23, but she's hanging on tough.
We arrived late in the evening in Orem, & we were greeted by snow the next morning, Nov. 4th.

Before Jay & I left for Orem, UT on Nov. 3rd to stay at my brother, Bob Moody's home for the next week, I took a fall picutre in our backyard of Basin City, of our King Crimson Maple tree losing it's leaves.
