football and cake...


for his birthday, nick wanted to go to the USU vs. UofU football game. jess watched the kids (thanks jess!) and we headed up to the game wearing our matching USU t-shirts. it was fun going to the game and feeling all full of school pride with nick. he knew they weren't going to do well against the utes... he must have told me about 6 times that the utes were ranked 22nd in the nation and the aggies weren't projected to win a game the entire season, but we cheered them on 'till the end of the game. i felt kind of old at the game when i started thinking that a lot of the kids in the student section were probably new freshman and that was me...10 years ago! i had to fight the urge to blow raspberries on the bellies of the bare-chested boys with "U", "S", and "U" painted on them as they walked up and down the isle i was sitting on. i also had the strangest urge to start pinching people's bums as they walked up and down the stairs by me. when i mentioned this to nick, he didn't think it was very funny. i think it was the me from 10 years ago coming out, i loved being 18 and starting college.
the only other request nick had for his birthday was the type of cake he wanted (after i bugged him to tell me). he requested a vanilla cake with vanilla frosting that was kind of like a cupcake, but not a cupcake. after trying to decipher that for a while, i found a recipe on line and went to work. so here is a picture of his cake, i know how much he likes sprinkles so i made sure it had a lot of those on top!
