BYU Game

We were lucky enough to go to the BYU v. OU football game at the brand NEW Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Dallas. It was AWESOME to say the least. I got to see lots of friends from here as well as old friends from Dallas and Austin, and even a friend from my ward my freshman year at BYU. It was so fun, and winning just made it 1000 times better. I never dreamed we would actually win!! I also decided that I might actually enjoy football now that I learned how it all works. And if I could have gone to BYU football games in the nice air-conditioned stadium instead of the cold snow in the BYU stadium, I would have gone to and enjoyed all the games. I hated going to football games most of the time except for the social aspect of them. It was usually just too cold, and too much standing, watching something I didn't understand. Anyway it was awesome and a fun to be able to watch it with my whole family.

Thanks to my awesome mom, I left my camera in her car and don't have it at the moment, for downloading all my pics and sending them to me...

At the tail-gate with friends (It just so happened to be a nice hot day...like usual so we were nice and sweaty by the time we got into the stadium) Then we came in to check out our seats before the game started.

• The pic of the crowd were some friends I took a picture of since we were sitting above them and I zoomed in a ton to find them, but if you look hard you'll be able to see yourselves...(hopefully you know who you are)
• Joe listening to the play by play and watching the game all decked out in his new BYU attire
• Me and my little brother, Preston
• My dad and my brothers, while the girls were taking a bathroom break
• My family after the stadium had cleared out--minus my older brother, he had left by then
• The stadium has the largest HD screen in the world...it was huge, you can see in the picture
• BYU's victory

After the game...Picture with my family...before they made us leave for staying after too long...Picture with Mandy and Jimmy....and then walking back to the car. We stopped to get a picture with the stadium in it.

I had an awesome friend (I used to babysit her triplets every day in high school after school starting when they were 5 months) who babysat all my kids while we spent all day tail-gating and watching the game. She is great. We got there to drop them off and she had popcorn buckets for each of them with bags of their favorite candy, Cinderella waiting to be watched...she even sewed up mermaid costumes for their barbies b/c they are obsessed with mermaids right now. And we had more awesome friends who let us stay at their house while they were out of town so we had a place to stay and it was only one street away from my old house, so it brought back lots of memories. Anyway we had an awesome weekend and were sad to see it end. We ended with a barbeque and swimming in their backyard before we all left for the drive home.

We also were able to be there to see the blessing of our new nephew, Theron. It was a whole different kind of awesome. But we never did get any group pictures of any pictures of Theron...next time.

We did a little sleeping... (some of us anyway)

And some playing...

and that's all the pictures I took from then.
