BYU Game


We were lucky enough to be given tickets to the BYU vs. Colorado State game held on Saturday. The whole family went and the kids had a blast. Before the game started, we walked over to the BYU Bookstore and let each of the kids pick out a BYU shirt to wear to the game. They thought that was the neatest thing.



Macy enjoyed doing the wave with the rest of the crowd, Abby loved watching the Cheerleaders and Dancers, Blake loved cheering for BYU, and Tyler was just happy to be there.

It was a wonderful way to spend the evening with the family and we loved it!

Trip Down Memory Lane

Friday evening we attended a wedding reception of a family from our last ward. Before going to the event, we drove past our old home. Just driving down the street gave me butterflies in my stomach from all the wonderful memories we made in that neighborhood. The kids were excited to see the house, but it just doesn't look the same. The trees have gotten huge, but the yard was not as well taken care of. We parked the car outside the house and reminisced.

It was also nice to see our old friends and catch up on each other's lives.

Look Who's Five...

Blake!
My little guy is five today and I can't tell you how lucky we are to have him in our family. I tell Blake, "I love you!" And he tells me, "I love you more!" What a sweetheart.

Friday afternoon we had a pirate birthday party for Blake and he invited 6 of his pirate friends. The boys had so much fun and I think Blake really enjoyed spending that special time with all of his pals.
