BYU vs TCU game

Last weekend we got tickets to watch the BYU vs TCU basketball game. A friend of ours was able to get a group rate of five bucks a ticket, so we decided to go check it out. We had never taken the kids to a basketball game before so we thought it'd be fun-and it was! Well, despite the sick pregnant mommy who had a bad headache turned to severe nausea in the car ride on the hour drive there....good times:) Sorry I made us stop a few times on the way there and made us late everyone! lol. Man, was I sick. I can laugh now. But I wasn't then:)

Go Cougs!(No, Joey and I didn't attend BYU, but we'll support the Mormon cause:)

Alyssa, Ella, Aubrey & Courtney. It was fun to go with friends!

Cali watching in her Daddy's arms.

This was the kids favorite part. When the frog dudes danced around.

We ended the evening with a trip to Chili's. Here are the girls in the waiting area, waiting on poor Aubrey's lap:) Ouchie.

Thanks Stromness family for coming with us! And yes, the Cougars won. BIG TIME. I love a good basketball game, especially when the team you are routing for wins!

Cynthia said...: Its always fun when you can do things such as this with your entire family even if they didn't really understand it all the fact you went as a family is what they will remember most oh yeah and maybe the frog dancers. At first I thought you were referring to the cheerleaders and I was like HOLLY then I realized there were frogs on the court heee heeee. Aubrey what a great friend to let all those silly girls have a sit on your tiny lap. Your a really really really great friend for sure.; 3/10/10, 9:39 PM

She is also very creative and can be found crafting at the table on many afternoons. She is in the 7th grade and is a very hard worker. She is one of the most "on task" kids I've ever seen and never has to be reminded to do her homework. She is also an amazing reader. She is in her second year of piano and is doing great! She also loves ice skating and is taking figure skating lessons. Its definitely a natural talent.She recently did a competition and won first place.

Cali

Cali is our 9 year old silly girl who keeps us laughing. And also keeps us on our toes:) She is a feisty little second grader with a mind and will of her own. She also has quite the sense of humor and makes us laugh at the funny things she says every day. She loves to be outdoors, read books, and make cards and pictures for her family and friends. She is very giving and loving. She is also cuddly and asks for "snuggle time" daily:) She started tennis this past Spring and is loving it! I think we have finally found this girls "thing." Shes got one mean backhand! :) Her favorite thing in the world, however, is CANDY, oh, and ponies and fish.

Ammon

Ammon is our handsome smart sweet 6 year old little boy that we can't imagine life without. He is so very loved by us all. Now that he is five, he is really starting to show us just how darn smart he is. He is learning how to read at an incredible pace. He can count to 9000 already(he tells us this, but we make him stop at 100:)! He started preschool this year and just LOVES going! He wishes everyday was preschool. He has a heart of gold and is so loving. He is a Mama's boy that I can always count on to give me hugs when I need it most. His favorite thing to do is draw/write, read, play with action figures(star wars and avengers being his favorites), do puzzles, and play the wii/tablet when we let him:) He loves Skylanders!

Wesley

Wesley is our adorable energetic four year old son. He has the cutest dimple on his right cheek and the biggest smile. He is a ray of sunshine and makes us laugh at all of his funny antics. He is quite busy these days getting into everything he shouldn't be..sharpies included. Sometimes I'm just not sure I can keep up with him! He loves to climb on everything. And fall off of everything;) He is often seen with a bruise on his head! His favorite thing right now is cars. You can find him most days pushing a truck or car around the house as fast as his little legs will take him. He also adores being outside. We love this little guy so much!

Luke

Luke is our precious two year old little one who has blessed our lives immensely. He is always there to give a hug and a wet kiss. He is super cuddly. If you are sad, he will put his little arm around you and give you a sweet pat. He is silly and always makes us smile. He is learning little words like "mo" for more or "nana" for nightnight. He can say ball and uh-oh. Its so cute to hear him learn to talk! He has been an easy little guy too..never been a carseat hater and always takes good naps. And luckily is now sleeping through the night! We love our Lukey!
