Weekend Fun

This past weekend we had quite a bit of excitement. Saturday was BYU's opening game!! WAHOO! I can't even believe how excited I was to go... I love this time of year and the smell of football is part of it. Bret and I decided that buying season tickets would be a very good investment for us and the family in the future... ok not really Katy, Danny and I talked Bret into getting them. Thanks honey for being so easily persuaded. Although we have the cheapest tickets we could get and we are 5 rows from the top of the south endzone, the seats aren't that bad and if it ever snows we will be in the sun the longest. :) Anyway, we headed down to happy valley with Danny, Katy, Tate, Bret and I in our little escort.. haha Good Times. The game was nice, it was really hot that day, but towards the middle of the 3rd quarter the clouds rolled in and it was nice. After the game (which BYU won) we went to eat at Los Hermanos... yummy! What a great start to the first of many games and trips to Happy Valley!






Monday Bret and I wanted to take Kinley to the Zoo, but since it was raining we went to the discovery gateway. McKinley had such a blast! They have an area called the 'Beehive" where they take balls and use them in a bunch of different activities. This area was her favorite. I think we spent about 2 hours just in the beehive.



On a different note, I don't know if any of you have the same problem with your feet as I have with mine. It seems like at the end of summer my feet are just torn to bits from flip flops and sandels. But I have found the solution, the Ped Egg.


I can remember seeing an infomercial about it and laughing that people would be dumb enough to use something like that. But in desperation to save my feet, I bought it for $10 at Walmart. I suggest if your feet look like this....




to go get one. I did and it really works. My feet were not this bad.. but pretty close to it. and now they are nice and soft with the cracks almost gone!!

My heals get really bad too. If you can stand wearing socks at night or during the day when you walk around the house, I rub vaseline all over my feet and put socks on. That has helped too. But I like your idea too! I just might have to try it!

That is exciting about your season tickets! We are in the south end zone too, I'll have to come say hi!

Oh and thanks for the tip for feet and flip flops! Go cougars!!

Haha...your post is so funny. I saw that commercial on tv with Andrew and we were both so disgusted at the part where they take the lid off and dump all the skin shavings into the garbage. It looks gross, but thats awesome that it actually works really well!!! Maybe I should try it?!?!? Anyway, thanks for all the pregnancy insight, it's nice to know i'm not the only hormonal pregnant woman out there who feels this way. Ugh, I just want to cry because today is my due date and he isn't here yet. I need to be patient, but it's so hard right now. Thanks for being so excited for me, we should really get our little guys together someday!!!
