BYU Basketball Game

It's no secret I love BYU Basketball! We took Abbey and Bennett to their first game tonight at the Energey Solutions Center. I think they were a bit shocked and pulled their "stranger danger" faces for most of the game. Towards the end they started getting a little more into it. We had a great time...sitting on the front row with my parents AND we were on the Jumbotron-TWICE. (I admit, the second time may be due to the fact that I told the camera man, "you made my dreams come true by letting me by on the Jumbotron." I don't think he has many girls tell him that...so he scanned the camera over to us again! Or, it might just be because Abbey and Bennett are so stinkin cute...even when they aren't smiling.) I was a little over excited to get our picture with camera, and may be giving the Cougar Growl in the pic.

Just a few more pics of Abbey and Bennett's birthday.

First Birthday and BYU Basketball

Abbey and Bennett turned 1! We celebrated with my side of the family a couple of days before their birthday. We had dinner and the cousins all enjoyed fishing for presents from our "big fish". Jon was really the big fish and he hid under the stairs so they couldn't see him. It was a big hit and many of the cousins kept calling "fishy" because they wanted more gifts!

Of course, Abbey and Bennett each had their own cake. They were tenative about it at first, but then dug in and made a huge mess. I don't think they really ate much. Might be the fact that I decided to make a citrus poppyseed cake for their birthday. I know, what was I thinking! I withheld the poppyseeds in their cakes, but come on...the first cake a child tastes should be delicious and chocolate. Not citrus and not poppyseed. (In my defense...my good friend Debi makes a delicious citrus poppyseed cake and I used her recipe. For some reason, mine didn't turn out nearly like hers).
