Old BYU 57th Ward mini reunion

Our good friend Brett (he & Jim have been friends since they were kids) set up a little dinner with some old friends from our last student ward at BYU, the one we met in. I didn’t pull my camera out until the end so I didn’t get some of our friends who had to leave early. Sorry Adrian & Kate and Brigette & Tyler! Jim was in the 57th ward for 3 years, I was just in it for 1 year, I liked to move around! He says he had to just stay put and wait for me to show up!

Brett, Janae & Dax, Brian, Allison & Benson, Aaron & his wife (I can’t remember her name) I look like a dork pointing my remote at the camera!

It was fun to catch up with everyone. Jim thanked Brian for finding me a condo in the ward all those years ago. Brian and I met in Heritage Halls in 1999, we were in the same ward. He had just gotten home from his mission and was scared of girls. We became good friends and hung out. A few years later when I decided to go back to BYU and not on a mission(a whole different story for another time) I called him to see if he knew of a  place I could live and some girls in his condo had an opening so I moved in. A few months later Jim and I started dating and the rest is history.  It was fun to meet Brian’s wife and new baby and catch up and laugh about old times. It is funny the things people remember about you.

Our kids had so much fun with the Davis kids. They are all a little wild and crazy and got along great!  Brett & Janae have and awesome basement with lots of gymnastics equipment and they didn’t want to leave it

Thanks for a fun night Brett & Janae! It was fun to see you and for our kids to meet! Check out Janae’s blog, it is hilarious!

BYU Basketball

BYU played TCU on Saturday, tickets were pretty cheap so we decided to take the whole the family. We were right behind the band and Thomas and Matthew thought it was too loud so they would cover their ears.

Kaylee on the other hand didn't think it was loud enough so she screamed to add to the noise.

Averi did pretty good, she cried at first because of the noise, then she got used to it and just jumped at really loud noises. We got lots of looks because of our 4 small kids even though there were more BYU fans than TCU fans there.

Me and my girls

Kaylee and her evil look, Matthew was cheering for BYU

Thomas was pretty tired from a busy day of soccer and a birthday party, he really didn't like the noise and kept his ears covered most of the game.

BYU started out slow and then got a huge lead. It was fun to watch them in action. We left the game early and went and got ice cream at Braums. It was a fun family night!

BYU vs. OU

I can't believe I haven't blogged about the BYU vs. OU game! It was so much fun! Trish flew down from Salt Lake and Gabe and Mom drove in from Arkansas. Mom watched the kids for us so she didn't go to the game. It was one of the best games I've been to. It was in the NEW Dallas Cowboys stadium which is super nice. We somehow got awesome seats, 8th row in the corner by the endzone.  It was just a lot of fun!  Adrian and Kate came with us, they flew in from Utah also. (Jim grew up with Adrian in Boise and they were roomies while we were dating.) Here's some pictures from our fun night. We went thinking that BYU will most likely lose, but it will be a fun night anyway. We were so glad that they won! It looks like the Cougars are going to have a good season again. Jim is even thinking of renewing his cougar club membership :)
