Soccer Night

Tonight was indoor soccer night and I was invited to play with Sutton's team. Boy is my babe a Woman among wee girls out on that court. She can shoot, dribble, juke and everything else that is good. I really enjoy watching her play. She's got alot of skills and boys like skills. You know, bow staff skills, computer hacking skills. That sort of thing.
Key play of the night was when I was playing as a forward. One of the girls sent me a high ball and I headed it into the 3 by 4 ft. goal. We won the match with that being the only goal. I'm not one to toot my own horn but there was a loud horn blow heard through out the gym. Me running around with my shirt over my head was quite a sight as well.
The house in Boise looks good. I'm anxious to see more developments and a finished project.
In other news, I talked to the adviser for pre-law students and I'm planning on taking the LSAT this June so if Justin has any advice or encouragement that would be appreciated. Also if anyone has any advice on what I should do to prepare my resume or beef it up that too would be appreciated.
Be good Ivy, Finn, Lucy, Hank and Ruby.

Ahh Go Green!

We went green. Thought the environment could use it...

Painters Dos

The week is over and we're both still here. This was the first week of a new semester and classes are looking promising for both Sutton and I. I have a lot of business classes and Sutton has a lot of science classes. Should be a good semester if we stay on top of things. Other things are the redoing of our apartment. We have a new book case from Ikea---->
It's pretty nice and we're still making things fit with it. We also painted our white corner bookcase red. It looks way better since the walls are all white and it adds some contrast. Sutton is one heck of a painter.

Body by Sutton, Belly by Ben: Helpful New Year's Resolution Advice

This week I'd like to talk about food labels and the information they contain, which will help you in your New Year's resolutions for a happy and healthy year!

Tip #1

Pay attention to serving size. Sometimes the serving size is really small, providing a large calorie intake, and we unconsciously eat 3 or 4 servings.

Tip #2

Pay attention to where the calories are coming from. Simple carboyhdrates like candy bars contain a lot of calories but a short supply of energy which will cause you to spike and drop, whereas complex carbohydrates like a piece of bread, vegetables, fruit, will give you long lasting energy, and contain essential nutrients (they have a slow glycemic intake allowing you to feel full longer, and who doesn't want that?).

Tip #3

Pay attention to fat content. There are four main types of fat. You want to avoid saturated (it should be 10% or less of your total daily diet) you shouldn't have ANY trans fat, the good fats to look for are polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated fats. For example, walnuts and fish are a good source for fats.

I hope that these tips will help you as you reach for the stars, acheive your goals, and all your dreams come true! And also, emily engineered most of this post, but it IS Sutton endorsed and approved.

The long absense

It's been a little while since I've been able to post. I've been studying a lot and trying to get ready for this week. Not sure how it's all gonna turn out but it'll be nice to be done with this set of classes. I'm sure they'll only get harder as time goes on but this semester was a little tough. I liked my classes though so thats a good thing. Next week Sutton and I will be in Santaquin at her parents house and then on the 27th we'll fly to Spokane to spend a few days in WA. I'm super excited to see some little nino's and the rest of you.

Beneath the clothes, we find a man... and beneath the man, we find his... nucleus.

Thanks, But No Thanks. I'm Stuffed

Well another week closer to school being out. Good thing about this week was we only had two days of school. Thanksgiving break was nice. Mrs. Fox and I went north to The Inlaws house. Had a good time shopping, eating, visiting, playing and visiting.
Some highlights for me were:

1. Football thanksgiving morning. Neat story was that I lost my wedding ring out on the field and didn't realize it until I got home. Went back the next day and looked in a couple spots and decided to look in one last place before we left. As I was walking across the 20 acre field, low and behold, my ring in the grass. God was guiding cause I was praying. Also I might have been killed had it not been found. It just wasn't my time.
2. Thanksgiving meal was great. Lots of good home cooked food. I think I put a good 5 lbs on.
3. Hanging out with Sutton's Family was good. 3 of her brothers and their wives and kids were there for the dinner and that was fun.
4. Hanging out with Emily and Erin. What a funny couple they are. Driving Erin to the airport was funny because she was late and Emily was driving pretty grandma-ish. We got her there in time regardless. After we dropped her off Emily was saying how Erin wouldn't let her play the Hairspray Soundtrack and she wanted to play it. That only lasted a couple minutes.

Over all I think the trip was a success and can't wait to do it with the Foxes next year. Hope to see you all there.

Ohh Blessed Lauren!!

(I'm sorry, Emily picked it out)

Happy Birthday Lauren. You are wonderful and bright and fun! Lauren is wonderful because she is very forgiving. When we were little lauren got peed on by a little rude boy and she still talks to that boy. She is so nice to have forgiven him. Lauren also has a great sense of style. She buys great gifts. I always look forward to the year she draws my name for gift giving. I'm sorry this is random but I love ya Lauren and hope your day was great!

Happy Birthday Mom!!

My mom is great! I remember when I was in elementary school and my mom and dad put me in charge of feeding Blue and Jane the horses. I didn't enjoy feeding them vary much. I was scared because every morning they would come running and act all crazy. Well one morning I decided not to feed them and just go to school. Well things were going great at school, PE had started and I was just getting into the activity when my mom comes marching in the gym with a note to tell the PE teacher to let me go with her. She marched me right out of PE and sent me to feed the horses. What a teacher Mom has always been.

Mom is my reason for passing Mr. Hughes' math tables. She helped me with scouting and would drive me to every practice in every sport that I played. Mom has done so many things for all of us and I love her!

TESTS!!!!

Ok, two days until Thanksgiving break and Sutton and I each have one test. We both are feeling way overwhelmed as we try to prepare. Mine's in Business Law and Sutton's is in Microeconomics. I'm really not looking forward to it and can't wait till it's over. I really don't want to fail this thing but who knows. I already bombed a quantitative methods test on Thursday so this hasn't been a good last push. I'm hoping to come back to school re-energized and ready for the last two weeks. GET OVER ALREADY!

Sunday Field Trip

This afternoon Sutton and I went up the canyon which Cedar City sits at the base of. We had a good time driving about a half hour up to the annex of Zions National Park; Cedar Breaks. It was a pretty nice 35 degrees with a little fog and snow.

We had fun looking over cedar breaks.
Making Faces at the Camera.
And of course seeing how far we could run before the camera took the picture.
Ooops, Love tunnel!
That one's for you Andrew

Merry November!

Ben here just wishing everybody a happy happy November and remember that Santa is making a list and for Finnburger, Lucy, I-ver and Hanky he's checking it twice. Weather currently in Cedar City is 61 degrees, clear and calm. And here's a couple classics from the 2005 Cable Bride Run.


And here's a couple action shots from this last game at SUU.


Have a good Month you all!

Halloween!!

Happy Halloween. Not one of my favorites but we dressed up anyway for the school howl dance.I'm Sutton's Soccer coach, Coach Brian Stock and Sutton is her assistant soccer coach, Gitana Gotay. It's not really funny unless your on the soccer team and know these people. The soccer team thought it was THE BEST. It's fantastic. Things to notice, shaved legs on me, ugly glasses and a nasty hat. On Sutton watch for sagging pants and hands always tugging at the front.

Just for the record I am a much better looking Coach Stock than the real one.

Birthday Wishes for the Sutt

Well today is officially Sutton Cherrington Fox's 21st birthday! Yep thats right she's legal. Tradition holds that I must give major complements about Sutton on this day so I would say a couple things.
1. Sutton is a work-a-holic. She can study me under the table on my best day and I love that about her. She has great endurance when she works which she gained from her dad. Cutting Wood in Idaho with Grandpa Bruneel showed what she was capable of.
2. The second thing about Sutton that I love is her ability to show love and concern for people who are either less fortunate or going through rough times. She loves people and is a great example for others in this.
3. The final thing that I'll say is that Sutton loves her family and understands what is important in life. She will be a wonderful Mommy and I love her for that.
Happy Birthday Sergio Also! What a good addition to the Brotherhood. He's gonna be a great DAD!

One of those nights

Tonight is one of those nights where I'm up at 12:26am and Sutton is in the bedroom sacked out. It's one of those nights where I go through all my bookmarks on my web browser and spend a considerable amount of time on the bank, credit card, and credit union cites. I don't know what it is but I seem to always check those cites when I'm up late with no good reason.

(without cute little kids to post pictures of this is the best I can do; my screen.)
