BYU plays UT

We were excited to go to Austin to watch BYU play UT this year.  Now that they are not in the Mountain Conference we don't have our normal gauranteed games to go watch.  The trip ended up being a very quick one.  We drove down Friday after the kids were done with school and drove back late Saturday night, or should I say Sunday Morning (we got home at 4:30 a.m.).  We went and saw the State Capitol building, it was beautiful.

 After the Capitol Building we went to the Capitol Building Museum.  The kids all had fun dressing up and looking at the stuff they could touch in this building.

 We met up with Darlene, Bridget, and Brian for the game.  We had tickets on the very top row.   They ended up being nice tickets because you could see the whole game and there was a little more room to move around, not to mention the breeze you could get.  It was a very hot game the first half.  BYU started out good, but they couldn't get it together in the second half and ended up losing by one point.  It looks as though it is going to be a very long year for BYU.

Princess Party

Abigail had her "kid" birthday party the other day.  She had so much fun with all of her friends.  I had bought them princess and knight stuff to dress up in, but I thought if I give them it at the beginning it is going to be lost all over my house so I had them earn it after completing a task from each Disney princess.  They had a lunch filled with pink items and then played games and become princess and knights in the end.  Here are some pictures from it.
