Headlines should read: "Eric Price Gives Utes Birthday Luck"

We had another fun-filled weekend. On Friday night we went over to Secelia's place - her apartments have a super sweet kick-ass theater room they can use. It's huge with big comfy couches, way cool. We watched "Across the Universe" It was a musical that used only Beatles songs, really good movie. It starts out kinda wack and you're thinking, "Crap, I gotta sit through 2 hours of this?!" But then it gets really good and you're lovin' it.

Unfortunately, Eric was sick over the weekend, definitely stemming from a lack of sleep. On Saturday we went to the BIG game between the U of U and BYU. It was an even bigger game than usual because the U was undefeated and if they won they would get to go to a BCS Bowl game and it would mean over $400,000.00 for each school in the division. If the Y won it would mean no Bowl game for anyone and only around $100,000.00 for each team.... Eric brought along his birthday luck (we figured it worked out well bringing Syrena's birthday luck to the Oregon State game) and with it the Utes pulled off an amazing victory, 48-24. Of course, you had to know the fans would definitely storm the field on this game, but it was funny because people started piling on the field before the game was even over. The announcer (Mike Runge from Fox13) had to yell at all the people to get off the field so that they could finish the game.

Sunday was my big boy's bday... I got him an outdoor wood rack (his request), comes with tarp to keep it dry; 2 South Park season DVDs (seasons 6 & 7 - has Eric's favorite episode, "All About Mormons."); Bruce Campbell's book on CD - "Make Love, The Bruce Campbell Way" narrated by him; and a new "do-rag." (The thing he's wearing on his head in the below picture).

Here he is at his momma's... his brother (Andy) got him a new extension cord... May seem like a weird present, but there's a good story behind it. I almost burned down our house and the neighbor's with our Christmas lights. I had an extension cord running out to the bushes that apparently caused a short in the system and the electricity was grounding out on the metal shed and running into the chain link fence. The fence was welding itself into the pipe that runs along just outside our property, sparks were flying everywhere.... After the fire department came out and figured out what was going on, Andy came out and discovered where the problem was- gee, I can't believe it was the extension cord with about 10-15 cuts in it (Eric used it for the weed wacker and the chain saw) covered with electrical tape. Who knew?

Hopefully my baby starts feeling better soon, breaks my heart to see him down and not doing well; especially when there's not a whole lot I can do. I've been pumping him full of vitamins, not allowing him to do any physical activity and forcing him to get extra sleep. Get well soon sweetie! We are getting excited for our trip to Vegas!!!!!
