The Clyde & Schaefer Shower

My last shower was held at my Aunt Lisa's home.

There was lots of help from everyone.

It was BYU football themed.

Pretty fitting I thought.

My baby is destined to be a cougar fan considering the Clyde's are all big time fans and so are the Hunsaker's. In fact, had he come out of me looking like a smurf. I would have not been at all surprised. We are a blue obsessed family.

My talented little sister made these adorable cake pops! 

How awesome is she?

 There were even BYU mint brownies!

 I really loved how cute everything was decorated!

I sure love my mom, sister, and sister-in-law!

 These two cuties, Jersey and Stella, were the life of the party! They belong to my cousins Lindsay and Brittani.  They kept everyone laughing and they helped me open my gifts. They went a little wild doing it. They are sure speedy! I could barely hold all the stuff in the one the gift they give me, notice how everything is about to fall? Even funnier, they handed it to me so fast, it wasn't til I was putting all back that I could actually see what they'd given me.

 This quilt was a gift from my mom, but made by my talented aunt, Lisa!

 How cute is Lindsay's little boy, Finn?

I think he looks just like her.

 Jersey, Stella, and Finn all had tons of fun with the tissue paper!

They were in heaven! Who knew tissue paper could be so much fun?

 Me & the Ballantyne Ladies + Finn

I love that I remembered to take a picture with them!

When you're with the Clyde's you don't forget to take pictures because we're all picture crazy so there are lots of cameras to remind you! The Schaefer side on the other hand, is not like that at all. Bring them together, and your problem is solved!

 

Clyde Girls!

Nixon and I sure lucky to be so loved by so many & completely spoiled too!

Birthday Festivities Round 1

We started celebrating Tyler's birthday the weekend before the actual day. I was able to leave work several hours earlier than planned so we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse with my parents. We were in the parking lot getting ready to leave and this cute Roadhouse employee started yelling at us BYU fans to come over. I grabbed Tyler by the arm and went over to talk to him, but I didn't make it all the way because he told me no wives allowed! Tyler ended up having a nice little chat with him about BYU and they basically came to terms that they both hate the U.

Goodbye Football.

Saturday was the last football game of the season. It was a cold one, but I didn't think it was as cold as last week's game. We had lots of fun this season and are more than ready for basketball. And I guess that's a good thing since the season has already started!

Another W for the Cougs

H.A.L.L.O.W.E.E.N

This year I really struggled at getting good pictures of everyone's costumes, between my camera acting a little funny and taking pictures for other people with their camera's I failed to get my own. 

I love the Clyde Halloween party, its lots of fun and always great to see what creative costumes people come up with each year.

This year didn't disappoint!

Tyler and I went as BYU cheerleaders!

We found these awesomely funny costumes and couldn't resist! Tyler's pants sold me!

In the words of Chels, "Who wears tight pants...Tyler wears tight pants!"

In the words of Tyler, "This is so gay. I look soooo gay. I'm going to split my pants."

I was very impressed by my mom's awesome sewing skills! She made Natalie and Nate's costumes and did a wonderful job...and by make, I mean she literally made Natalie's shirt from nothing. I don't think I'll ever be attempting to make anything of the sort! And again, I feel bad I didn't get pictures of all the other costumes!

Cougs vs. Aggies

BYU earned themselves a W on Friday night and we were sure happy!

A BYU WIN=FANTASTIC WEEKEND.

P.S. Tyler would also like to mention that we DID NOT rush the field! Because a win over Utah State is by no means a miracle, no matter how crazy the last 2 minutes of the game were.

The Cougar Life.

At our house, fall only means one thing: BYU FOOTBALL. We love it!!!

The Utah game was pretty sad, but we got over it...and 2 good things still came of it!

Jeff came up to go to the game!!! It was great to see him!!!

And Russ and Misty had a great announcement for us! They're having a baby and this is how they told us!

We took a short mid-week break from Football & went to the Jimmer All-Star game, because who can resist watching Jimmer???

...and then it was back to Football again.

The Central Florida game went much better than Utah and we were sure glad :)

And of course we're super excited for the rest of the season!!!

BRING ON MORE FOOTBALL!!!

My Game Day Get Up.

Friday Photos.

This is what happens to a poor girl when her husband finds the TCU game more amusing than his wife.

Picture 1: This is my face when I see Tyler wear this hat when it doesn't match.
Picture 2: This is me practicing my excited face for when BYU scores tomorrow.

Bottom line: I'm not very good very at finding "normal" ways to entertain myself...but I am sure thankful for photo booth.

MIA.

I've been gone from the blog for a while....but part of it has been because we've been so busy.

First with my birthday.....

 

My parents took me to Ruby River, birthdays don't get much better than celebrating with a yummy steak.

And then Hawaii...where we had LOTS of fun!

We had a fun at the beach. We didn't get to go as much as I would have liked thanks to the rainy weather, but the time we did spend there was great!

It was really rainy while we were there so sadly I wasn't my normal picture taking self and didn't get my camera out as much as I should have, because I was too busy avoiding the rain or too embarrassed to take pictures with my awful rain-ruined hair. Luckily I did get some though. We went hiking on one of the days and were hoping to get to swim below some waterfalls, but it had been so rainy that they were overflooded and not swimmable. We missed out on seeing some too, because they had closed off a section of our hike because of all the water, but it was still really fun and BEAUTIFUL. It was probably the most gorgeous hike and drive I have ever been on.

 I think Tyler's favorite part of the trip was this:

We got to drive around the island in this beautiful car. A 2011 Chevy Camaro...it was so new we were the first ones to rent it. It was lots of fun although we never really got to let it loose, because of slow speed limits and lots of traffic...it was pretty fun to peel out in though!


And then Vegas...

 Leave it to us to have a random picture with a San Diego State fan. Kawai Leonard's Aunt to be exact. Even though we lost we stayed after the game and watched the trophy be presented to San Diego State and watched them cut down the net. Out of the corner of my eye I saw this lady taking candid pictures of us. I looked over at her and she just started laughing and said, "ooooh yes!" Next thing we knew it she was headed up to talk to us. As soon as she realized Nate was related to Jackson Emery she was buddied right up and wanted a picture with the boys. She told us that she is fine with losing to anyone, but BYU. It kills her to lose to BYU so I guess it was a good thing for her they won.

We had a fun day on the strip and shockingly I didn't spend a dime. I learned though not to let the husband gamble...he comes home with empty pockets!


And Denver....

Sadly my husband is on his way to Denver to watch the Cougars play right now and I didn't get to go :( Its not really easy to pick up and leave your job again after being gone a week and half! Hopefully they play hard and win so it makes me missing my husband worth it! He deserves to see a good few games!

January.

January has been a fairly uneventful month...but we've kept it fun by enjoying BYU basketball.

I love watching basketball and this has been a very very fun season.

Best game so far was beating San Diego State! 

My throat and ears hurt the entire next day, but it was completely worth it.

...and my sweet husband bought me a Jimmer jersey at the game.

 

 We were very excited that they won & even ran out on the court after. Not so much because of the excitement, but because if we hadn't we probably would have been trampled by everyone behind us running down to the court.

 We waited around after so Tyler could get his own Jimmer jersey signed by Jimmer himself!

...and guess what? He's selling it..imagine that.

 Jimmer is pretty great & has sure made BYU basketball lots of fun this year, but I'm still NOT naming my child after him.

Birthday Boy

Yesterday was this guy's birthday.

For those of you who don't know this guy is my dad!

He is the best dad any girl could ask for.

I didn't get around to blogging, because I was too busy having fun.

My parents were so nice and came to Orem just so I could join them on my break for a birthday lunch.

After work, I went straight to the BYU game where he was too!

I didn't sit by him, but I know he enjoyed the game.

It was definitely a fun one--and the COUGARS won!

He sent Tyler & I a text before the game saying since it was his 49th birthday, it would be great if Jimmer could get 49 points! So throughout the entire game the 3 of us were hoping for 49 on his 49th, Jimmer didn't quite make it to 49, but he got close enough!!!

Happy Birthday Dad!  Hope you enjoyed your day!

Jimmer.

Of all the names I have ever thought I may or may not name my future children, Jimmer never went through my head. And let me first CLARIFY, that I am not pregnant, nor am I planning to be a mom anytime soon. However, Tyler has been on a really big kick recently that we are naming our first child Jimmer. At our house, Jimmer is pretty much a hero. Tyler aned I both really like him, because he is AMAZING. However, as amazing as he might be I don't think his amazingness is deserving enough for me to name my child after him. But I have a feeling that one day there might be a big debate about it, because Tyler can't think of anything better to name our kid after than such a talented BYU player! But seriously, no offense to Jimmer, but I don't find his name cute at all and really don't think it goes with the last name Hunsaker...

......and when I see the picture below, it is not followed by...WOW! I ought to name my child after you! So if someone could please convince Tyler differently I would much appreciate it :)

I will won't take time to talk about how awesome Jimmer is, and talk about how amazed I was by him last night against Utah, simply because that would not help my case with the husband, it would only give him more reasons why we should name our child after him...so instead I am just going to say this:

GO COUGS way to beat them UTES!



..and to my favorite cousin  Brett: please name your child Jimmer so I don't have to.  And in return--I will forever owe your wife! Unless of course she is a big fan of the name, and then we will have a win-win situation! And I will happily owe her nothing.

Yesterday.

Yesterday was a pretty eventful day....

We went to the BYU vs. Airforce Basketball game.

And of course BYU won :)

Then we had dinner with two VERY special people.

It was my Nana's Birthday!

...and it was Nate's birthday too!

We celebrated with both of them at P.F. Changs!

And then back to my Nana's for cake & presents.

The cake sort of fell out of the freezer.

It was really funny.

My dad doesn't find the humor in this sort of thing so we had this big plan of how to hide the damage from him (My Mom, Me, and Natalie). My mom was still getting candles on the cake, but Natalie and I went back into the living room where everyone was. A few minutes later we heard a thud in the kitchen. Thinking of the cake again, Natalie and I kind of just looked at each other and laughed. Of course, my dad, being how he is...instantly said, "What was that?" Which made us laugh harder...thinking he was funny and COMPLETELY kidding says, "Oh, it was the birthday cake!" So of course Natalie and I are laughing hysterically and even funnier, I was sitting on the arm of a chair, and because of my laughter I fall off the and continue to laugh EVEN harder til I am laughing so hard, it hurts. At this point my dad and Tyler wouldn't leave us alone, trying to figure out what was so hysterical and why we can't stop laughing--which in turn, just kept us thinking about it, so we continued to laugh. And of course, we couldn't just tell them a ruin the nice cake surprise! Needless to say it made the night much more entertaining and memorable.

Happy Birthday Nana & Nate!
Hope you had fabulous days!
Love you Both!
