Happy Halloween!!

BYU/TCU game

I was very excited for the BYU/TCU game. I wanted to see the Cowboy Stadium and I totally miss the BYU games in Provo. We drove to the game with the Gilletts, but sadly we didn't have seats together - we did :) have seats with Josh and Cari. We were a little late and missed the 2 first touch downs by TCU. So when we arrived it was 14-0. I was like crap...this isn't going to be good. It wasn't so bad. There were some really bad no calls (pass interference in the endzone - he pushed him in the back-- ugh). There were also some really stupid things our team did (Nelson fumbling in the red zone, when he could have just taken a sack and the kicker struggled). The stadium was great. I just wish I would have been in the BYU section. I felt pretty stupid yelling and screaming around TCU fans. Luckily they were really nice and would talk with us about a bad call and usually agreed with us.

Before the game, I told Mikah that he would get to see BYU football again and the biggest screen he's ever seen. Here is the screen. It was huge! :)

I love my little family and am so happy we were able to spend the weekend together! My favorite part of the game was when Mikah screamed "GO COUGARS!!" right after we turned the ball over and TCU scored a few plays later. It was so funny. All the TCU fans turned around and laughed. I love that little man.

Mikah did really well for it being so late. After the game, Jordan said that it was the happiest he had been after a BYU loss in along time :) He also pointed out that BYU won the game while we were there - haha - if that counts for anything.

Dallas

This weekend we drove to Dallas for the BYU/TCU game. We were able to stay with some friends, the Gilletts. It was a lot of fun and it was great seeing them! Friday morning, we started the morning by eating at IHOP. All the kids were able to get a free scary face pumpkin pancake that they got to decorate themselves.

Mikah decorating his pancake!

The finished product! He ate the entire thing! He loved it!

After eating, we went to a pumpkin patch. It was quite cold, but it was fun. Mikah rode a horse and absolutely LOVED it. He also got to feed some pigs, a donkey and some sheep. We also went on a hay ride and Mikah and his friends jumped in the jump houses.

Mikah could have stayed on the horse all day. He said he wanted to go again but on the brown horse because it was Bullseye from Toy Story! Haha.

Henry and Mikah loved feeding the animals hay. They just kept bringing more and more to the donkey. The donkey loved it.

The hayride.

There were a lot of different jump houses, but sadly most of them were wet because it had rained the night before. He enjoyed the few he was able to get on. It was hard to get him out of them.

Thanks to the Gilletts for EVERYTHING!

Fun Weekend...

This past weekend we had our first visitors! My sister Macie and her husband James were able to come for a few days. It was a lot of fun! We did some fun stuff, but mostly ate delicious food and relaxed at the house.

We went to a pumpkin patch and I was very disappointed. They were supposed to have a petting zoo and horse rides - they didn't this day. So we got our tickets back and left. We did get a few pictures first... haha.

The pumpkin patch wanted $10 for a pumpkin so we opted out on that and went to Walmart and paid $3.88 a pumpkin. We went home and carved them.

Our finished products. Macie and James did the one on the left. If you can't tell it's a little boy in the bed - scared! I think it looks awesome! We choose to do the little monster. Mikah loved it.

We also went to Sea World. Jordan and James went on the big roller coasters while Mikah and Macie went on a few of the little kid rides. We also got to see Big Bird and Cookie Monster.

Mikah was able to feed some flamingos while we were waiting for the Shamu show to start. I asked him if he liked feeding the flamingos. He told me that the Flamingos didn't want to eat that that he fed the ducks instead.

We went to two different shows. The Shamu show and a dolphin show. It was a lot of fun. We were all exhausted and went home early.

Come and visit again soon M&J :)

Frisbee Golfing...

Last Friday we went Frisbee Golfing with Josh and Cari. It was pretty windy, but we had a great time. :) Mikah loved every minute of it! Especially the dirt. The weather has quite nice lately. We can actually enjoy being outside. I'm excited for it to get better and better :)

Thanks Cari for taking the pictures :)
