Today was the BIG day! We have been looking forward to this day for months; yes I said months. We met my sister Becky and her husband Scott in Provo at 2 pm for a late lunch/early dinner at Red Lobster. Of course we wore our BYU shirts and had lots of comments from different people while there. It was a great lunch! I always enjoy being with my sister. Then we parked our van and hopped into their van so we could all go together and have one less vehicle to park at the stadium. Scott dropped us off so we could pick up the tickets at the will call window and he went to park the car. Rick ran and got the tickets and then we sat all on a hill in the shade to wait for Scott to get back so we could go in. Oh I forgot to mention this was a really hot day. Becky and I were wishing BYU didn't have such a dark color, because we were dying in the heat. It felt so good to sit in the shade and wait for Scott. Once we met up with Scott it was off to find our seats. They were in the east bleachers close to the top and right in the sun. It wasn't until half time that the sun finally went behind the west bleachers and we got some relief. I drank a lot of water and probably could of drank more, but it would of been too hard to get out to get more. It was so fun to watch the band marching on the field and playing "When the Saints come marching in". It was fun watching all the pre-game stuff. Then the game started. Florida State got the first touch down. Then they got the second touch down. Oh no!! At half time I thought BYU still had a chance. They only need 2 touch downs to catch up. Once the second half started it was all down hill from there. Florida State got a touch down in the first few minutes of the third quarter and the rest is history. It got so bad we left a few minutes early. I took a photo of the score board just as we were leaving. That wasn't the finial score though. The finial score was BYU 28 - Florida State 54!! What an awful game. BYU was undefeated before that. Despite the score we had a good time. It was over much to soon. We met up with Devin and Amy after the game and went out for ice cream. It was so good. On our trip back to Kirsti and Blakes house we watch an amazing lightening storm. We even hit a really big down pour. When we got to the Izatt's house at 11:00 pm it was still 76 degrees. It was a very hot day and night.
While staying with the Izatt's Rick tried to help a little in their backyard by pulling weeds. Kirsti and the grand kids helped. (Kirsti was in her PJ's and at the side of the house so I didn't get her picture.) As you can see in the following photo they only made a small dent. The backyard is full of weeds. I've got a photo of Ashely's hair do that she did all by herself. She was so proud of it. Ashely also loves to dress up. She does it all day long. Of course I have photos of my girls after church. They are so sweet!! There's one of Ashley standing on her head. She just loves to be upside down. Kirsti says she loves to watch TV like that. We had a wonderful weekend and spent it with some of our favorite people.
