happy halloween

we had a fantastic halloween this year!

capes make everything epic.

and believing you're a super hero is pretty sweet too.

happy halloween!

we did it

casey and i registered for our last semester of classes at BYU a few days ago!

actually casey signed up for both our classes bc i wanted to go to bed early, ha.

you'd think being seniors we'd get all the classes we want, no problem?

WRONG.

our lives will go on but still, we wanted those classes at those times!

some tricks we have thrown in the bag for this semester:

i'm currently registered for a sewing class,

i hear it's pretty intense (8 hours a week!!) but hopefully it'll be fun.

  i'm also trying to get into the flexibility class bc i hear it's pretty good (that was the one that was full for me, insert mean word about someone else here)

casey, on the other hand doesn't have such fun ones.

20 credits of legit, hard classes, crazy guy!!!

but he does have an extra credit to "spend" so we're trying to find a fun class for him!

we hear there's a wood working class offered somewhere on campus?

if you happen to know what the class is, sharing would be greatly appreciated!

other than that we pretty normal over here.

have a fun weekend!

ps- don't forget when carving your pumpkin, use a canning jar lid to scrape out the insides, it's WAY easier!

the boys of fall.

if you know my husband at all, 

you'd know that football means a lot to him.

as you've noticed we go to all the BYU fooball games and love it.

he loves playing football,

talking football,

watching football,

reminiscing about football,

fantasy(ing) football,

everything football.

it's fun to hear him talk about his days back in football.

the team, the games, the championship, the experience, etc.

he genuinely loved it.

as we were listening to the radio in the other day, kenny chesney's new song "the boys of fall" came on.

i could tell how much he truly missed those days.

bright lights, friday nights, and all.

we looked back at the words and they just fit so perfectly with casey:

When I feel that chill, smell that fresh cut grass
I'm back in my helmet, cleats and shoulder pads
Standing in the huddle listening to the call
Fans going crazy for the boys of fall
They didn't let just anybody in that club
Took every ounce of heart and sweat and blood
To get to wear those game day jerseys down the hall
Kings of the school man, we're the boys of fall

(Chorus:)
Well it's turn and face the Stars and Stripes
It's fighting back them butterflies
It's call it in the air, alright yes sir we want the ball
And it's knocking heads and talking trash
It's slinging mud and dirt and grass
It's I got your number, I got your back when your back's against the wall
You mess with one man you got us all
The boys of fall

In little towns like mine that's all they got
Newspaper clippings fill the coffee shops
The old men will always think they know it all
Young girls will dream about the boys of fall

there's no doubt in my mind that our little boys will be out there playing football and throwing a ball around.

i want to see those little boys in BYU jerseys running around when they're 4.

i'm kinda excited for those days. 

so here's to football and my husband.

i'm learning to love the first a little bit more because i love the second so much. 

camping: iPhone pictures.

more camping, from the phone

 

provo utah bucket list: go real camping

we have officially crossed of another item off our bucket list.

this last weekend we went camping up diamond fork canyon near spanish fork,

and had a grand ol' time together.

we dusted off our sleeping bag and tent,

borrowed many an items from family, neighbors, and landlord,

and went on our way!

hot dogs for dinner and breakfast,
casey brought his finest whitetrashwyomingcowboy skills with us

after cuddling all night to stay warm,
we woke up to frost all over everything, and the rushing stream as our background noise.

we built one more fire for morning (for our hot dogs, jeeze)
warmed ourselves back up and packed up "camp."

 

dear camping,

you were more fun than i expected.

i'd love to go again.

love, the cutlers.

stories not to be forgotten:

-weston telling us at the last minute that "tomorrow" was the first day of hunting season for locals. DON'T SHOOT ME!

-the trouble with fires...

-waking up in the morning to a mysterious tent across the stream. no idea where that came from.

-casey having to go to the bathroom in the middle of the freezing night.

-the air mattress not blowing up all the way.

5 guys

so i mentioned that last thursday was scott's birthday.

the 3 of us families/siblings met up at 5 guys burgers to celebrate!

and boy, do we love those burger and FRIES.

oh, those fries are heavenly.

i only took pictures of the little kids because they're so cute.

i love my neices and nephews, love them.

(i'm stupid, and put the same pic of abby in twice)
oh and little mr. tristan is walking, walking people!
it's so fun to see them progress bit by bit.

and then of course the birthday boy (with tristan) so cute.

 

i love my family.
i love celebrating birthdays.
i love burgers.
i love life right now.

happy birthday to you.

yesterday was the mr. scott woodruff's birthday!

it was one of the few/only birthdays i actually got to celebrate with my brother this year!

so scotty, here is my tribute to you:
you're the middle child, and although you say that means you were the middle/hated/forgotten child,
it's the exact opposite.
you got the best of both worlds: you got to be with the "cool" older borthers,
and then you also got to have plenty of time with us younger ones, kirk and i

remember that 1 time you broke your leg when you were 2?
well i don't, but i know you certainly do.
you had some pretty dang cute pictures in your years.

remember how it's because of you our family has the pets we do.
zuka and tazz undoubtedly stem from you,
as well as a few of our family kitties.
for that i salute, and thank you :)

remember when you used to always sing "don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?"
literally you sang that all the time, and truly believed it too.
thank you for showing me what true confidence in one's self looks like

 

but overall, thanks for being my awesome brother, you're 6 years older than me,
but i've come to have so much fun with you here in provo.
i'm glad you're still here in provo and not in az yet,
bc we'd miss out on all out fun together (ie- go-peds, racing weenie dogs, cranium, settlers, and all our other games)

keep rockin it, and happy 1 day late blogger birthday to you!



ps- watch for his birthday pictures to come soon!
