A night of mischief...

At about 2:00pm on Friday Brandon walked in the house from work or so I thought, when I heard him on his phone tell someone, "Ya, I just got home from Hobby Lobby." My first thought was, "Do you even know WHERE Hobby Lobby is, let alone WHAT it is?" (Hobby Lobby is a craft store here in TX similar to Michael's, Roberts Crafts, or Joann's Fabric). He then turns the corner with a big smile on his face and goes on to tell me that we will be making UofU flags all night so he and one of his buddies (Jared Taggart) can go out and vandalize the homes of all of our cougar friends.

Supposedly there had been a lot of smack going on between a bunch of the husbands who were going to be attending a BYU/UofU party the next night at the Taggart's house.

Once again my husbands hidden talents amaze me. He walked into a craft store that he had never been in before. Approached the lady at the fabric counter and told her how much red fabric he needed and then asked how he could put a white "U" on the flag. After many options he decided that we would make the "U" at home that night and then iron them onto the red flag. Around 7 :30pm I walked into the living room where he, Jace, and Kai have a Clone Wars party every Friday night just to find him glued to the television and not paying attention to the "U" he was messing up. I proceeded to make one and after teaching him he made the other three which turned out much better than my one.

At 11:00pm he left with the ladder and the flags to pick up Jared Taggart where they attacked most of our BYU friends. The boys and I woke up at 6:30am excited to drive around and see what kind of mischief dad had been up to the night before just to find BYU vinyl letters all over the outside of our house. Who else gets up every morning at 4:30am and can pull something off like this by 6:30am??? THE JENKINS!!!

The Jenkins

(Sherlyn and Blue had already ruined their flag before we were able to get a good pic.)

The Christensen's

(Don't worry Mark and Karen the red flag will definitely help bring up the value of your brand new home)

THE BOYER'S

At first we thought the string of events that night would bring down the value of the Boyer's home considering their vehicle was stolen just a few hours later. But, we soon found out that Lance had left the car unlocked with the keys inside. :) When the officers showed up to the Boyer's house and told them what had happened to their car they glanced up and saw the flag. The officer asked if Lance wanted to press charges against the car thief's and he said, "I don't know?? I might know these crooks." Thankfully Lance was able to see the two suspects and realized even though Jared and Brandon could pass as sixteen year old's they definitely were not these sixteen year old's.

THE ROBINSON'S

If you know Nora at all then you know she is never one to go to bed early. To top it off they had friends visiting from Dallas so even though they were the last house to get hit they were still up. As soon as Brandon had lifted the ladder into the car Rob came outside and noticed the flag. Being the good sport he is he left the flag right where it should be until the next day.

Yes, our house and the Taggart's were still hit and do you think we left those vinyl letters up all day like the flags??? No way, I think both families had them down before 8:00am.

GO UTES!!!!!
