Simply having a wonderful Christmas time

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

So, this is the First Christmas that we have gotten a tree. We have always been in school and went home for the holidays. Although, now that we are all grown up, we got our first Christmas tree. (However, we still do not have a star or a skirt...they are pending)We bought the tree at a craft store in Logan, Utah. However, we drove Camille's Mazda, which is very small and Adam had to do some nifty packing...and by nifty, I mean he shoved the tree in the trunk with all his might. But we got it home.
Sadly enough, when we got home the base of the tree fell off and a couple of the branches became unglued. So, Adam being the brilliant man he is used his brute force to shove the stand back into place. It will work for now. We are just happy to have a tree.
Camille hard at work putting lights on.

Oh the Insanity

So, during the last couple of minutes of the BYU v. Utah game Adam got super upset/excited. At one point, in frustration, he grabbed the sides of his head and accidently snapped his glasses in half. Here he is, happy that BYU won, but sad he broke his nice glasses.

Here they are up close. Camille's grandpa got out some white tape and wanted to tape them together. Adam declined, not wanting to look more nerdy than he already does.

Did you hear that?

Did you hear that? It was the air leaving the Utah Pukes sails. BYU came from behind to win. What a great game. Unfortunatley we went to take some pictures of our Thanksgiving festivities and realized we were out of batteries. So, just hope that everyone had a great time eating turkey, watching football, and being with family.

It's On!!!!

BYU takes on the University of Poo this week. As you can tell, I hate them!!!

I thought it was funny when I was attending BYU that during rivalry week all the statues on campus would be covered in plastic to avoid vandalism. You could also see added security guards all over the campus. Those classless Pukes!!

I love this pic taken of last year's finale where Johnny Harline caught the game winning TD from John Beck. I am hoping that BYU will win again this year.

The Game

BYU v. WYO: 35-10

This is a pic right outside of War Memorial Stadium in Laramie, Wyoming. We had many people tell us how disgusting we were. Notice that we are both happy now, but Camille was upset by the end of the day.

This is the entry way to the University of Wyoming's campus. It is really quite nice. All of the buildings on campus are built of similar sandstone found in this sign.

Camille standing outside of the Stadium in front of one of Wyoming's motos. Once again, notice the smile that would soon fade once the game began.

Since we could not sit by each other (mainly because Camille refused...sniffle), Adam stood in the endzone by all the other BYU fans, while Camille sat in the stands with some friends.

Just a shot of some of the Cougars. Adam got that close.

A good pic of Collie #9 and Pitta #32, along with some of the Cowboys fans in the background.

Overall, it was actually a fun trip back to Laramie. We saw lots of old friends and really enjoyed ourselves.

The Phillips Family Picture

This was a picture taken at the end of the summer '07, when Adam's parents returned home from their mission. Carli, who is in the front was not able to attend and was later digitially put in. Crazy what technology can do! The picture was taken in the backyard in Evanston. I can't believe how big the family is getting.

Halloween Spectacular

Another Halloween has come and gone. We did the traditional things this year, like carving pumpkins and handed out candy to all 8 trick or treaters that came by. It was kind of a calm night for us; but here are some pics of our carving skills.

Nevermind our 70's flooring and kitchen decor (that is just our crappy apt.). Camille is striking a pose with her pumpkin.

Adam holding a knife with another knife sticking out of his victim...once again, ignore our yellow countertops.

The finished product on Halloween.

We didn't dress up this year, but thought it would be ok to show pics of us dressed up last year.

Adam should really look into getting a hair weave like the one he has in these pics. Also, the convict in orange is Adam's brother, Eric.

Fall Fishing Trip on the Green River

Adam and his Dad went fishing back in September on the Green River. The River is only about an hour from where we live and is absolutely beautiful.

Nice Rainbow Trout with Adam's Loomis rod showing the size of the fish.

The Stud himself showing off a fish.

Taking a fish off his line.

Adam's dad, Jim, showing the large Trout he reeled in.

Adam took this picture from the top of a hill. That is Adam's dad fishing a nice hole.
