Trafalga at night







We made our first trip to the Orem Trafalga.  It was a weeknight evening, and it was not very crowded.  The boys wanted to play mini-golf outside, but the girls gave up after 2 holes.  Our feminine side didn't see the adventure in the added snow traps and puddles.  I took the girls inside and we play the glow in the dark course.  We ended the evening with the 4D theater.  It was great!  We'll be back often for more trafalga fun.

BYU game night at Uncle Don's

We love to spend time with Uncle Don and Aunt Melonie.....especially when it involves a BYU game!  Last night was no exception.  We had a decent spread of the 4 food groups.......salty, sweet, crunchy and carbonated! 

Dave mentioned to me while we were at Costco yesterday afternoon that we were supposed to bring smokies and crescent dough.  Well, Costco didn't have either.  So we decided on taquitos and a vege tray.  I made a quick salsa with corn and black beans, guacamole, add a bag of chips and "VOILA" we had food.  Melonie provided smokies, wings and brownies.

It's a good thing we had good company and good food because BYU lost the game and we are done!  It was too intense at the end in overtime.....so I gave up and cheated with my phone and googled the score. 

I'm always amazed at the media BYU receives and lasts nights game was no exception.  The commentators frequently bring up the honor code situation and multiple other unique things about BYU.  It good to see people taking note of our values and providing some positive press about them. 

SISTERS

I found out a little over a week ago that Megan was going to make a trip with the boys.  I can't describe how excited I am to see her and spend some time with her.  When I heard about her trip initially from mom, I thought she was coming last weekend and I was scheduled to work.  I was soooo bummed.  But then, like a miracle, she had the dates wrong for spring break.  I was delighted that I would be able to spend more time with her while she was here.

I was able to chat with her on the phone yesterday while she drove to Boise, and then spoke with her again this morning as she hit the road.  I would love to blog more today, but I've got to go and get my chores done so I can spend every moment I have with her while she is here.

When I told the girls this morning that she was on her way, there was a triple "SQUEEL"!  (That's not really a pretty sound BTW)  They are as excited as I am. 

Can't wait to see you SIS!
