BYU Football!

It's that time of year again!

BYU football time!

In all reality, in our house it's "college football" time as Jon loves to watch every game.

We love the changing weather, the excitement, the game, and the healthy football food. 

Mmmmm....

We even made a little shrine in the corner of our living room :)

But getting back...

We had a little bit of a kick-off party... because the more the merrier, right?

 We weren't sure who was and who wasn't BYU fans... 

so we just invited the whole ward.

 

And the Cougars won!

Always a good thing!

Weekend in Utah!

When baby sister started running so well for SUU- we knew we really should see her race.

And then when she decided she would go on a mission next year- we decided we REALLY needed to see her race at least once in her life.

She's pretty awesome.

So to Utah we went!

And here she is- we found her right before she raced and got to chat a little bit.

PS- it was SOOO cold.

Post race, all smiles.

After her race- we made our way back down to Provo to hang out with even more family!

Saturday we woke up to snow!

We were pretty excited... except we knew that we were going to have to sit in it through a football game.

Oh boy.

So we bundled up, and off to Lavell Edwards Stadium we went!

It was SO fun being back! 

But it was a little bit slightly miserable to be wet and cold...

(Shhh, don't tell Jon)

BUT we DID finally thaw out...

and the snow left the mountains looking fabulous!

Love, love, love BYU.

A Visit from the Brames!

We had a lovely visit from the Brames back in October!

They hit up NASA (while I was at work... boo)

 On the train ride around the compound...

 Mission control as it appeared in the 60's.

 The Saturn Rocket!

 Touching a piece of the moon!

I finally got to join in on the celebrations for dinner.
We love some good Tex Mex!

And then headed over to the BYU football fireside!

At each away game, instead of watching film the night before, the BYU football team does a fireside in the city they're playing in.
We were an hour early and got FRONT row seats.
I wanted to "good game" Taysom as he walked by...
but settled for a sneaky pic of Bronco instead.

The next morning we woke up and headed to the BYU-U of H football game!
(Which is the REAL reason the Brames visited, let's be honest.)

 At the tailgate party we got to ride the bull...
I rocked it.

 

Jon did ok...

 Time for the BLUE fro!

 Ta-da!

 I love that people don't think his hair is real.

 The game!

 Which turned out to be one of the most intense games ever!

 So happy they won!

Thanks for visiting!
