Donkey Kong Documentary, really?

Thanks to Trevin's wonderful brother Brock we now have access to Netflixs on our T.V. Actually now that we are sitting down watching a documentary on Donkey Kong I'm not sure if I'm still grateful for this nice gift. Trevor and Natalie came over and I've learned the consequences of letting the boys pick the movie. I have to admit though I am learning a thing or two about the video game world. I had no idea that there were actually people out there who idolize video game pros. In fact I didn't even know there were such thing as professional gamers but let me tell you there are! This is big stuff. If you want a good laugh and a long attention span, which I'm really lacking right now, check it out.

Anyways this weekend has been amazing! Trevin and I finished our finals on Wednesday and celebrated by having his family come down for the night. The next morning we helped Brock and Ashley move to Logan. Trevin and I are still going through Callin withdrawals but with therapy we're doing a little bit better. He is seriously the cutest little dude ever! To celebrate my short summer break I took the day off on Friday and just relaxed. Trevin surprised me that night by taking me to Joe's Crab Shack for dinner and then we went and saw the movie Back-up Plan. Poor Trevin. The movie theater was filled with middle age ladies laughing hysterically at every joke about child birth. But it was a funny movie that has officially sworn me off to having children. If J-Lo looks horrible pregnant there's not much hope for anyone else. Today was just a relaxing Saturday which involved waking up late, cereal while watching Friday Night Lights--my new T.V. obsession, a trip to Walmart, a good run around the neighborhood and concluded with a BBQ and this wonderful Donkey Kong documentary.

My short summer break has been amazing and I'm all refreshed to start classes again on Tuesday.....NOT!

Writer's Block

Been awhile since we last blogged. You'd think i would have a lot to say, but i currently have writer's block. I wish that i could say that it was due to all the studying that i have done for finals, but who am i kidding, we all know that that would be a lie. And we know where liars go...

Finals are coming up. Thank Heavens we are almost done with the semester! I'm proud to say that i have the most amazing wife, and cant wait for her to be done with the accounting junior core. She has done so well, and is on the last push here before finals. Unfortunately she doesn't get much of a break. She is going to go to both spring and summer terms so that she can graduate in December. Hopefully the classes will be a little bit easier than the last few semesters. We are excited for the summer to start!!

The sun has finally come out in Utah, which has put us both in a great mood. It does make it hard though to focus on anything that isn't baseball or golf, which we all know are the two best things about this time of year, although i am still trying to convince my wife of that. To her credit i may overdo it sometimes.

Well, all is well at the Cardon house. Hopefully our posts will be a little bit more frequent. Dont expect too much though, especially with baseball and golf lingering.

A Tribute to the World's Hottest, Smartest, Sweetest, Bravest, Classiest Man Alive

Happy Birthday Trevin!! Since it's Trevin's birthday I felt a blast from the past would be appropriate to celebrate the birth of the greatest person that ever happened to me! And a big shout out to Kay Cardon, thanks for giving birth to him and raising him to be the most amazing guy ever!

He was the greatest lil ninja growing up

The classiest kid in school at Mr. PHS

The most athletic QB ever that almost beat Rocky Mountain but not quite :)

The most amazing missionary and spiritually uplifting guy to be around

Definitely the best dress guy at ugly sweater parties

The sweetest #1 uncle to little Callin

The hottest most patient groom a bride could ever ask for

The bravest guy ever to wrestle alligators

And the best husband a girl could ever ask for. Trevin is the most amazing person in the world and I am the luckiest girl in the world to get to be with him every day! Happy Birthday Trev, I'm so glad you were born

Trevin's Ideal Weekend

Well we had a fun and busy weekend. It is probably similar to what Trevin would imagine as his ideal weekend it was filled with sports, wife, sports, sports, sports and some more wife. Haha. Friday night I abandoned Trevin to go see the movie Dear John with Melissa Lindsey and Jenn Stacey. They are two of my really good friends from high school so it was nice to have a girls night out. By the way, the movie was amazing! In the meantime Trevin indulged in his favorite pastime, watching the Nuggets. The beat the Lakers Friday night which was great because the Lakers are just dumb. Anyways Saturday morning we got up to go to Trevin's intramural basketball game. They at least doubled the score of the team they played and a couple guys on their team even got some dunks in. I almost wanted to start cheering for the other team because I felt bad for them. Not too long after that game ended BYU was playing at UNLV so of course we couldn't miss watching that. Well actually just Trevin and Brock watched it. Sleep was a bigger priority to me. After the BYU game ended Trevor and Natalie game over and we headed to Salt Lake to watch the Nuggets play the Jazz. Part of Trevin's birthday present from me was tickets to this game so we have been looking forward to it. We stopped at Chipolte on the way there. It's one of Trevin's favorite places but after being sick in bed all morning feeling its effects on my stomach I've sworn it off. The Nuggets game was great. It was a really close game which was fun the only disappointing thing was Carmelo and Chauncey were both injured. Given that their star players were out the Nuggs put up a legit fight but ended up losing by 10. Because of events during the game Natalie has earned the new nickname of either St. Nat or the hot dog lady, I haven't decided yet. There was a kid carrying three drinks and three hotdogs up the steps at the game and totally tripped right in front of us and all of his stuff spilled everywhere. Nat felt so bad for the kid that she went to concessions stand and explained what happened and they gave her new food. The little kids were so happy when she went and gave it to them. Man what a saint. Well the superbowl concluded our intense weekend of sports. We went over to Brock and Ashley's to watch the game and eat lots of good party food. Too bad the Saints won and Austin Collie will have to keep waiting for that superbowl ring.

Whew after all that sports this weekend good thing next weekend is Valentines and I can have my ideal romantic weekend, right Trevin?

Happy early birthday Trevin!

The other half of our double date team

Yeah Nuggs!

At Chipolte before the game, if you can't tell we're excited!

BYU vs. Utah Basketball Game

Brock and I showed up 3 hours before game time to get in line, and these were the seats that we got. Its ok, any seat to see the Utes get beat are good seats.

Little Cal cheering on the Cougars.

Allison and I enjoying the big win!!!

Frozen Pizza, a Coke, and the Nuggets

Thats right, its girls night at the movies, so im home with a frozen pizza, a coke, cheering on my Nuggets as they take on the Lakers (they are leading by 5 at the start of the 4th quarter by the way). I love my wife but watching games when she isnt here are more entertaining. I can scream and clap and jump around all I want. Im sure that she enjoys it more too.

Well, life around here is good. We are in the thick of things as far as the semester goes. Allison just finished her first week of midterms for the semester. She dominated them like always. My first wave of tests are just starting, which means i may put in an extra few minutes a day studying. Haha.

We have a fun day planned tomorrow. It starts off with an intramural basketball game at 9. "Real Men of Genius" (yeah thats our team name, jealous?) has started of the season 2-0. We are looking good, and hope to continue the dominance tomorrow. Then, tomorrow night we are going with Trevor and Natalie to see the Nuggets beat the Jazz. Allison got us tickets for my birthday. She knows how to make me happy!! We are bummed that Carmelo might not play, but we are still really excited. It should be fun!!!

Other than that, we dont have a lot going on. We try to have fun although we are both busy with school and work. Oh, I almost forgot...Last night Allison and I had a big time Wii tennis tournament last night. Allison challenged me too it, with the loser having to file our taxes. It was a close match, but yours truly came out victorious! Thank heavens, I really didnt wanna fill those things out. Don't worry, I will serve as great moral support.

Well, the Nuggets are up by 11 now with 4 minutes left in the game, so I gotta get back to jumping around and cheering.
