Roar if You're a COUGAR!!!!!!

Go BYU!!! The BYU Cougars had their first football game of the season and beat the #3 team, Oklahoma. We were SO excited that it came on ESPN so we could watch it. This is Anna practicing her growl for the game. We sang her the fight song several times throughout the day.

If you know us, you know that we only go a few days without wearing some kind of BYU attire. Game day requires all family members to be dressed in blue, (or pink if you're Anna).

We made some yummy cougar cupcakes in blue and white. They were very festive!

We had some of our friends over to watch the game with us. It made it way more fun having them there. The game was awesome!

So, my birthday was this week and it was a GREAT day. Josh made me breakfast in bed and bought me some beautiful corning ware dishes. We had a great set but lost it in one of our moves. I was, to say the least, very upset about losing them. So, he surprised me and got me a gorgeous new set. It's really nice to have nice dishes to serve dinner in.

That afternoon, I was at my friend's house doing some crafting with all of the girls and they surprised me and had brownies and ice-cream and sang happy birthday to me. It was great. Those girls are just amazing.

Finally, that night, we went to The Cheesecake Factory and enjoyed a delicious meal together as a family. It was wonderful. The food there is just great and I really love the atmosphere. All in all, it was a great birthday!

Unfortunately, this has become quite the tradition. She is impossible to pry off the table. We just laughed.

Josh also got me a breadmaker, which I love. It's great and makes having homemade bread so easy. We love it! I love the aroma of homemade bread. It makes me feel domestic without having to do all the work.
