Lola and the Black out game

On October 17th Lola graduated from Beginner Puppy Training Class- now that she has graduated she is supposed to be able to:  sit, stay, walk with a loose leash, drop it, leave it, lay down, roll over, shake, not jump on new people that she meets, and play nice with other dogs

Last night (Oct. 29th)  we went to the the Black out game at the U- we were both very excited for the game so we ended up leaving really early and getting into the stadium an hour and fifteen minutes before kick off

Warm up's

As the game progressed, it was definitely worth our pregame excitement, we were actually winning against a pac 12 team!

And in the end it was fantastic we finally had our first pac 12 victory!

2 weeks after Lola finished training she decided to prove what a bad student she was!  After we went grocery shopping we left some banana's on the counter (only slightly within Lola's reach) She decided that they were her new favorite play thing- and she was being so funny with them we decided to take pictures instead of yelling at her.  Also this week we are pretty sure Lola stole, managed to turn off and hide Natalie's cell phone!

Snack Time!

Corn maze and pumpkin picking

Today we went to the Crazy Corn Maze and pumpkin patch to get our Halloween pumpkin and have some fall fun :D

Kyle didn't want to play in the pumpkin field

Our perfect little pumpkin

He was kind of a bugger to pick

At the corn maze- keeping each other safe from the scary things in the corn field

This is what happens when you spend too much time there

Fall is here!

Fall is in the air and what a fall it is.  It seems like between the two of us there is not a free minute- Kyle is always at work or school- and Natalie is at school, work, and her internship at the neurologic outpatient clinic at the U.  School is so crazy lots of special tests and functions to learn- and unfortunately Kyle makes an awful practice patient!!!
This year has been such a weird year- with hot and sunny to cold and snowy weather and just being insanely busy

We have had a great time watching our Utes play- we had plenty of sunshine for the first 2 football games :)  And were so excited when they crushed the cougars (54-10 baby!)

We also had our first snowstorm a few days ago - it was so crazy from rain to 2 inches of snow in just a few hours.  Lola her second  chance to play in the snow- now that she is big enough to not get completely soaked every time she goes out in it.  While i was cleaning off my car before school she thought it was the greatest thing every- she hopped on the bumper to attack it and loved the snow balls i threw for her and watching the snow fall off the windshield-  even though i hate hate hate the snow, i am slightly excited for our next storm to play with her in the snow again.
