BYU Football and New Mexico trip

Lynsey and Peach bought us All-Sport passes this year and we've had a blast at the games. The first game was SO HOT! By the end of the game, I had stripped the kids of almost all their clothes...just onesies left. Both of them were red and sweaty. I felt bad....but I think they had a fun time. Taylee was so patient and Carter...well, he found ways to keep busy. We missed the Air Force game to go to Lagoon for Tyson's work banquet, but then made the road trip to Albuquerque for the BYU/NM game and to see the Gibson family. We were worried about the 10 hour trip each way (and we were only staying one day), but the kids were amazing. Carter was an angel the whole time and Taylee only got upset the last couple hours of the leg home. It definitely helped to have Sara along. I LOVED getting to hang out with Janae and the kids had a blast together. I miss the days when all of us sisters lived close in Provo. In Albuquerque, Janessa and Craig got us tickets to the BYU tailgate party. Being in New Mexico's home territory, it was nice to be around so many BYU fans. Tyson and Craig also got to attend a fireside by Bronco and some of the guys the night before the game and they really enjoyed that. The game was a blast. There were some hostile NM fans for sure (it was their homecoming) but all in all people were pretty nice. The weather was beautiful and once again the kids were pretty good. The game started late, so by 9:30pm (with 4 minutes left in the game and after review a BYU touchdown taken away) Carter had lost it. I began walking back to the car with him...not sure yet if we'd won or not. We ended up taking the win and getting home safely. Thanks Janessa and Craig for a super trip! We'll have to do it again soon.

Carter got to choose a treat at the gas station...gummy sharks.





We made it! Janessa had yummy homemade pork salads waiting


Taylee was so excited to be out of the car...she konked right out


Carter found Mommy's mascara while taking an afternoon nap. I went in to check on him and he had it all over his eyes. He was quite confused when he woke up with black eyes.
