Rise & Shout!!

  So last night we got tickets to the BYU game from one of Andrew's co-workers. It started late (8:15 pm!), and even though that is our kids' bedtime, we decided to take them. So after bundling them up in about 6 layers each, then putting on our coats, we headed to the game!

 

It was super fun, for the first half Kennedy could not keep her eyes off the field, "Mommy Look! Fupah, Fupah!" (football). It was cute, she really was paying attention, she would say, "ready, set, GO!!" when they would hike the ball and clap when everyone around her clapped. She loved when the announcer would say, "That's another Cougar.." and everyone would yell "FIRST DOWN!" She loved yelling "TOUCHDOWN" with her arms in the air, singing the fight song, the fun environment, peoples balloons, the big lights, and especially the cheerleaders and drill team. "Dance Mommy Dance!!"

Lucas also enjoyed the game from what we could tell, haha. He does good at football games. This was his 1st BYU game but he has been to plenty Viewmont ones!

Well, during half time Kennedy got pretty tired. She loved watching the marching band but fell asleep in my arms after just a few minutes (which is really rare for her! She is such a light sleeper and won't sleep in your arms).
Lucas had also fallen asleep so we had two sleeping babies.

So just before the 3rd & 4th quarter we decided to head out. As we walked out we saw Elder Nelson and his escort leaving the stadium! I was freaking out! Then once we got out of the gates we saw President Uchdorf being escorted into HIS car! Once again I was freaking out! If I hadn't been holding a sleeping baby I would have run up and tried to say Hi, but we got a good wave instead!

It was good timing because I loved the talks they gave this last conference, and have been reflecting on what a good conference it was, so to see any of the Apostles outside of conference was really fun! We are so blessed to have them, and to live in Utah to have these fun experiences where we can get the chance to see them at different events like the BYU game :) (I mean, let's be realistic, you only see apostles at special places, right? General Conference, the Temple, BYU games.. ;)
 

Although the BYU game was fun, I would say just those few seconds that we got to see them was the highlight of the night!
