BYU Football at Cowboys Stadium

Last night Daddy and I went to Cowboys Stadium to watch BYU play OU (Oklahoma). We were so incredibly excited to go to the new stadium and see the Cougars play. Everyone kept talking about how badly BYU was going to get beat by the Sooners, but I guess we showed them! ;) For those of you who don't know, BYU won the game 14 to 13, and I think most--if not all--predictions were for OU to win by 20-something points. Honestly, I would have been okay if BYU had lost as long as it was a good game. I really wanted them to win, of course. It was such a great game!
The stadium is also a sight to see. It is just a massive building!!! I can't explain or describe the enormity of it. I forgot the memory card for our camera, so these pictures are from Daddy's iPhone. It doesn't have zoom, so these pictures are pretty small. We were sitting almost at the very top of the stadium, but because of the jumbo tron, it didn't really matter.



I think this was at the end of the game.




This was before the game started.

Those things hanging from the ceiling are speakers, and we were told that they are the size of a trailer on an 18-wheeler. Gargantuan!



I don't know if you can see it, but under the big screen is "Mitsubishi," and we were told that those letters were 5 feet tall. How crazy is that!




4 guys painted themselves blue and had "BYU!" on their chests.

Toby had to get a picture of the "beer guy" trying to sell beer in the BYU section. We thought it was pretty amusing!

Rich's coworker is sick today and so he is spared the play by play of the game for one more day. It sounds like you got to go as a date?

Congrats on getting one of them gone! We're having a problem prioritizing our savings goals. We seem to get direction when we're done with one. I'm not really into doing anything simulataneously. I just like to knock one thing out at a time. We're thinking the next thing will be putting a ceiling fan in our living room and wiring for surround sound.

Jared won tickets to a Cowboys game on the radio when Michael was 7 months old. It was neat to go to Dallas for a couple nights but the stadium was gross- really really dirty. And everyone was getting really drunk by the last half of the game so we left early:)
Looks like the new place is sweet...

Friends' Birthday

Image
In June, we were invited to a birthday party for twin girls who are Tink's friends from church. They have a big family and most of them live around here, so they had a big party and BBQ at the park. The kids (big and small ;) had a great time! They played a fabulous version of Duck, Duck, Goose! The person who was it carried around a pail of water. When they said Duck, they would sprinkle a little water on the person, but when they said Goose, they would dump the entire bucket of water on the person. It was hilarious to watch! The girl getting the water dumped on her head has the same name as one of my daughters. I just love the expression on her face. Priceless! Tink was laughing so hard when she got to dump the water on a big kid's head. I wish you could see her face. It was awesome. Tink eating a hot dog Skinja playing on the giant slip n slide

Pictures of the Belly....FINALLY!!!

Image
Okay, so now that we are 38 1/2 weeks along (as of the date of the pictures), we finally got some pictures of the baby bump....well, it's more of a baby mountain, I think, but at any rate, here they are. Enjoy! See what I mean--it's huge! ;) It's like a little seat for Mya. Here are some new pictures of the cute little booger. She just keeps growing and learning new words. She speaks in sentences and climbs on everything. She loves to brush her teeth and wash her hands. And, inevitably, she has learned the word NO. Sometimes it drives me nuts because she says it no matter what you ask her and no matter if she really does want something or not. I know that all kids are like that, but I kept hoping she wouldn't learn it. Oh well! C'est la vie! :) She learned this from her daddy! :) A cute picture of daddy and daughter at a Primary activity. We bought her a tricycle, and she absolutely loves it! It is a little big, but she can grow into it. Plus, it is adjustable for ...
