BYU Football Game

Yesterday was BYU's homecoming vs. UNM. My family had planned for a long time to come down for the game. Leslie had purchased the tickets for everyone who could come a few weeks ago. This has started to be a tradition with my family. We have gone to at least one BYU football game a season for several years now. We had arranged with Alan's parents to watch our kids so that it would just be adults going. As the date grew nearer we ended up finding out that one of Alan's mission companions was getting married that same day in Manti. We had a dilemma. The tickets were bought but we felt like he needed to go. So, we decided Alan would go to the wedding and I would go to the game with my family. Bryce wasn't originally going to come down but then decided to, so he went to the wedding and golfing with Alan. They ended up having a good time. Leslie, Tyson, Will (Tyson's friend), Megan, Mom, Dad, and I ended up going to the game and we all pilled into my van to drive down. Thank goodness for dad's handicap parking pass! It always lets us drive right into the stadium parking lot! We got parked just in time to go to the Courage Den and buy a little something for the kids and get to our seats. We thought the weather was going to be horrible but it actually ended up being pretty good. It got a little cold with about 10 min left in the 4th quarter but nothing awful. BYU ended up wining 21 - 3! We all thought BYU could have played better though. Of course the BYU @ Utah came up and we all decided that it could be a very heated game. I wish I was going to be with some BYU fans to watch! On the way out Aunt Troie and Uncle Scott and their family saw us so we chatted with them for a minute. We aren't the only family in my extended family who has started this tradition. After the game we decided to go eat dinner at Red Robin in South Jordan. By the time we got back it was about 9:30 and every one was tired. We had had a great day... can't wait until next year!

P.S. I think you should take your girls to see Beverly Hills Chihuahua... I really liked it!! It was pretty cute! (Despite my pre-conceived notions that it would be really dumb!) ;)
