BYU Football and the Utah State Fair

First up for the day we dropped the boys off at Jeanni's and headed down to Provo for the BYU vs Wisconsin game. 

Justin and I and Doug and Pam went to the bookstore before the game where we found some BYU Star Wars shirts! I really wanted to get one in Nolan's size, but couldn't find any :( After walking around for a bit Justin showed me a rack and asked if I wanted to win "Mom of the Year." Well, of course! So I picked up this shirt to win my toddler's heart ♥ Nolan LOVES pointing out all the characters.

It was a bit of a massacre (6-40) and really hot, but we still had a good time! 

Sara Thomas was also at the game with her brother and his family. It was so hot and I forgot to bring sunscreen so at half time Sara and I left to try to find some. The gas station was all sold out so we had to walk all the way to the CVS on Bulldog and University Ave. Of course the company was great so the walk didn't seem long at all. Plus we got to walk past my old stomping grounds -- The Glenhood! SO many good times in that door right there. I lived in Apartment 3 just in the door and to the left. My brothers also lived there and we had so much fun ☺

As a side note: having my brothers in the same ward might have cramped all of our dating styles. I can't tell you how many people thought we were dating each other until they found out we were siblings haha, but we didn't mind. We had so much fun together! And obviously, we were just there to hold off all the girls and guys for each other while we waited for Justin, Devin, and Kirsten to come along ♥

Beautiful fall colors

We had so much fun going to the State Fair with Gm and Gp Bailey last year that we had to go again this year! And since they've moved here there's no excuse not to!

Sara wasn't sick of me yet so she and Lis and Sue hung out with us at the fair!

My boys are sure lucky to be so loved by my friends ♥

Nolan was so excited and loved all the rides he went on.

Branson even got to go on a ride or two!



Nolan handing his tickets to get on the ride. He loved being in charge of his tickets. And speaking of tickets - Nolan is a little charmer without even trying! TWICE during the night different people came up to us and said something to the effect of, "I have these extra tickets that I'm not going to use and I just think your son is so cute that I want to give them to him." ♥ 


The helicopters were a hit again this year.
 
Again, love my awesome friends. They even feed my babies while I eat!

Blurry pic, but it's the only one I have with the crew (minus Justin)


Suedles entered one of her watercolor paintings. She did an incredible job and it was fun to see it displayed!



Nolan's favorite ride by far was the roller coaster (get ready Gp Mathews!!). He went on it a couple of times, but then it broke down. Bummer. But I was really proud of him. He was sad, but didn't throw a fit or anything when he realized he couldn't go again.



Luckily they fixed it within about 1/2 hour and Nolan was ECSTATIC! He even got to ride with Gp and Gm too.


He also loved this slide, but we couldn't bring ourselves to pay $4 for him to ride it a second time. I mean, the whole thing is a gouge, but come on haha.
