Pumpkin Carving and Halloween 2021

We carved pumpkins and had pizza at Grammy's house the Sunday before Halloween.  

Tanner and Emilie carved pumpkins too.

Emilie and Tanner's Halloween feast.  They were in quarantine because of Covid so they didn't get to go to any of the Halloween parties they were invited to.  

I had to work on Halloween plus it was on Sunday so it was a super lame Halloween.  It is the first year in probably 20 years that I haven't had any kids dress up and go trick or treating.  Kirt and Garret went to the Crandall's house and visited on Halloween night.  I went up after I got off of work.  Katie went to mission prep.  Exciting Halloween.

 

Evergreen State Game

We went down to the Evergreen State game even though Tanner couldn't play since it was the first game in the new arena.  Tanner has Covid and couldn't even come to the game.  We stopped by to say hi at the door before the game and he looks pretty sick.  Poor guy.  They won their first game! The new arena is awesome!

Tanner's high school teammate, Lane Kennedy, plays for Evergreen State.  His mustache was awful.

 

Garret's Broken Record

Garret talks about 4 things-his muscles, his weight, his height, and his Peyton Wolcott.  If you talk to him for any length of time, he will definitely show you his muscles, tell you how tall he is and how much he weighs, and tell you some random fact about his buddy Peyton.  

 

BYU vs WSU Game

BYU played WSU at WSU in Pullman.  Katie went to the game with Shane and Max Skidmore.  Katie said it was just like hanging out with Tanner and Garret. Tanner and Emilie were going to go too, but they had Covid. Garret had a cross country meets so Kirt and I stayed home to watch Garret run.  

 

Tanner's Basketball Photos

Tanner got his professional basketball pictures today.  These are the ones that they shared with him.  Hopefully they were get some better ones for the photographers. He has an awesome black eye from getting elbowed in the nose and breaking his nose.  

 

Tanner Brakes His Nose, Gets a Concussion, and Covid

At practice on October 18th, Tanner got elbowed in the nose by Ethan Kilgore and broke his nose.  A few days later, Emilie got Covid from a coworker.  Tanner got his nose reset on Friday.  The Dr had to crack his nose 3 times to get it back into place. Tanner was cleared to return to play and started the concussion return to play protocol on Sunday the 24th.  He felt good on Sunday and Monday, but then on Tuesday he started getting a bad headache.  He thought it was from the concussion, but then on Wednesday the 27th, he also started feeling sick and tested positive for Covid.  So he is now out for another 10 days.  He was pretty sick for a few days, but hopefully both he and Emilie recovered.  Tanner had to get an EKG and an Echo on November 8th and was cleared to start the Covid and concussion return to play protocols.  For the concussion, he couldn't have any contact and for Covid he had to wear a heart monitor and couldn't let his heart rate get higher than 85% of his resting heart rate.  He got to play in his first game against WSU on November 18th. He had to miss his first 5 games.  He was really bummed that he had to miss games and be out for a month.  He had worked really hard to get into shape, and it was hard to not do anything for so long, but he's excited that he gets to finally start playing.

Right after he broke his nose

After he got cleaned up.  It doesn't look quite as bad
