We went up to Logan over Conference weekend. We met all of Broc's family at the BYU vs. Utah State game. It was fun to see the old campus again. It definitely brought back some crazy memories. Man how time flies! It was great to see everyone (except Josh and Liz) we missed you guys. The game was great... except for one annoying BYU fan. This kid in the BYU section was out of control. He was saying the most inappropriate things to Utah State fans and cheerleaders. He was so rude and way out of line. He really was driving all of us crazy. Aside from his obnoxiousness, the game was great! The drive to Logan was so beautiful. Just look at those colors. I feel so blessed to live in an area where we get to enjoy all of the seasons! Especially fall, it is just so beautiful! This is probably the longest post ever but we had a ton of pics and I didn't want to leave anything out, so just keep scrolling down!

We had to walk a little ways up to the stadium. Crew was a good sport though!


Crew adjusted pretty fast. As long as he had his "BYU bankuck".

Broc, me and his sisters: Raegan, Aubree, and Chelsey. Sorry Aubs we only got one shot of us:)

Crew loves his Aunt Chelsey. He was so funny, he loved to pet the "kitty" on her coat. Everytime he would pet it Chelsey meowed. It was hillarious. He loved it! 

Look at those big eyes!
Go Cougs!





Crew loved Grandpa's binoculars. Grandpa always has the fun toys!

After the game we stayed at Aubree and Riley's apartment. The next morning we made a big breakfast and watched conference together. Crew was a pretty good boy but had a hard time sitting still. We finally found the perfect seat for him. He loved sitting in the basket watching conference. (He is trying the Uncle Riley look in this pic... see the resemblance?)
He also loved rubbing Grandpa's bald head! 


All of the guys all spiffied up ready to go to Priesthood Session. What a happy bunch:) It was really neat because it was Beau's first Priesthood Session.

In between sessions we went bowling. This is Crew clapping and saying, "Yay" for everyone who bowled. It was really cute because he clap and cheer for you even if you got a gutter. Such a sweet boy!
Crew's first bowling experience! Good thing he has an amazing of a bowler for a mom...
to show him all of the good techniques! Just check out that form-  ha ha:)
Crew is using those good techniques to help Daddy get a strike!
The whole gang! Check out Lesli (Broc's Mom: bottom left) If you notice she is making an X for all of those strikes. She blew us all away! She should have been helping Crew!

So while the boys were at Priesthood Session, the girls went shopping! After we all got back we began the drive home. Barely got out of Logan and heard a big "POP"... we pulled off to the side of the road only to discover... this! Why is it that these things happen at the worst possible times?  Of course it is dark and raining-
Wow what a stud! Just look at him, he is so strong. Good thing he has the right tools to take care of this... NOT! We discovered that the wrench  (I think that is the right term) was the wrong size for the lugs (also another guess with my vast mechanical vocabulary)! So we called Broc's Dad and Riley to come rescue us. 
Crew was such a happy boy. He had no idea what was going on.
The Ernie and Riley to the rescue! Seriously we never would have made it home without their help. As you can see Ernie (Broc's dad) did the majority of the work. We are so grateful for such an amazing example in our lives. Any of you who know Ernie know that he is there willing to help at the drop of a hat. He gives so much to everyone and never asks for anything in return. He will find any way to help and every excuse to never let you pay him back. He is such a Christlike example! We are so glad that Crew has such great men in his life to look up to. Thanks so much Ernie and Riley (and everyone else who had to wait to get home because of us)!

Crew eventually got restless and wanted to see what was going on. He was trying to jump out of the window to help the big boys! 

This is the beaut of a spare that got us home! Thanks again guys for all of your help! We love you so much!

Hi Crystal it has been so long since i have talked to you! Your little boy is so cute!! I take it that you are living in Morgan again? I just started this blogging thing and it is really fun to see what everyone is doing.

Liz said...

Okay, first of all...Krew is so cute. I love the close ups of his big eyes. Second, Brocs sisters are darling too, and third, where in the heck did you get that cute hoodie you are wearing in the bowling pictures? Monday should be ok, however, Chance has tutoring from 4-4:30 so it might be a little bad time...can you come before or after that?

Hey Little Sis, All your fun pictures sure do make me miss you. You guys are so cute! I love the bowling pictures. We went bowling for Rhees' birthday & had such a blast. Ditto on the darling hoodie. Although, there's not much need for hoodies over here. I can't wait to here how the interview went. Skype me sometime. Love you!

I do a little bit of custom blog design on the side. Some of the ones I've done recently are: lund3.blogspot.com, skylarandlauren.blogspot.com, and keepingupwithcamri.blogspot.com. With how large the header is, I do 3 columns to even it out. How are Broc's med school applications going? It would be awesome if he applied to VCU, we love it out here!
