Show me a True Blooded Aggie Fan

Although the Utah State Football program is not currently one to brag about our family is definitely True Blooded Aggie Fans and we still had a lot of fun watching the team this year. Thanks to Casey who provided us with tickets most of the time. The season was full of ups and downs with a couple exciting games the Aggies did win and a few frustrating games that they almost won and several disappointing games where you wondered if they knew what  sport they were even playing.  Maybe the next coach can finally turn things around.  Here are just a few shots from some of the Aggie football games. If you can't tell we are definitely preparing the Nielsen Grandchildren to become Future Aggies.  At least basketball season is underway which is something an Aggie fan usually can brag about!

Chloe and Sydnee practicing their cheers after one of the games. 

Taya and I had fun during one game making funny faces.  Taya definitely wins the prize for the best faces. I wonder where she gets her crazy personality, it couldn't possibly be from her crazy mom:)

Nutcracker













The Saturday after Thanksgiving I went to the Nutcracker with my Mom, Sister Mandy, and Nieces Sydnee and Chloe.  It was a fun girls outing. We went to the Sugar Plum Fairy Tea before and were able to meet a lot of the characters.  It was fun to watch Sydnee and Chloe dance with some of the ballerinas.  We didn't have great seats and were up in the top balcony where the temperature was about 100 degrees.  It was miserable but the show was still great.  Sydnee was ready to strip down to her underwear she was so hot but we were able to keep most of her clothes on. 



Thanksgiving


Thanksgiving was very quiet but still nice this year. It was the off year for our family which left me alone with my mom and dad for the first time since Ramsey got married in April. My Grandma and Grandpa Humphrey's came down from Idaho to join us. We had quite the feast nonetheless, enough probably for the entire family. The biggest downside was that it was just my mom and I preparing the food, with a little help from my dad. The next off year if I'm still single we are for sure going on a little vacation (maybe finally to Seattle Aunt Barbara:) or New York, I had a lot of fun there for Thanksgiving several years ago). Although I missed the whole family it was a relaxing day with way too much food and yummy pies!  I have a lot to be grateful for and Thanksgiving is always a nice time to stop and think about all of the many wonderful things in my life.
