Family Fun! (Cougars, Receptions, and Spudnuts)

This weekend was so much fun. We had a couple of different events down in Utah County, so we decided to make a trip of it. We went down on Saturday, stayed the night with Jonathon's family, and then came back late Sunday night.

We were headed to Provo anyway, but early Saturday morning, Michelle O. called and told us she had 4 tickets to the BYU game and offered them to us. We were thrilled to be able to take the boys to the game with us. The Cougars were playing Idaho State (a terrible team), so there were plenty of opportunities to cheer and sing the fight song! They loved the first 10 minutes, and then asked if it was over every 5 minutes from then on. We were slightly annoyed, but some popcorn kept them happy for quite a while. Luckily, when we left, they were talking about how much fun they had. It was a beautiful day and a great family outing.

 Christian and Andrew loved cheering. We were at the very top of the stadium where there weren't many people. This was a good thing because the boys were moving up and down all over the bleachers.

Wedding Reception

Jonathon's cousin got married on Saturday. That night, we were able to go to their reception. His new wife now has my exact same name. We joked that we needed new nicknames.... Sarah the first, Sarah the second, etc. They looked so happy and seem like a great couple. The reception was held in a greenhouse nursery. By day it is a store where people can buy things, and at night it is transformed into a reception area. I was curious to see what it would look like. It was very beautiful with all of the plants, fountains, flowers, etc. We were glad we got to go. The rest of the time in Provo was spent hanging out with Jonathon's family. It was nice to be able to see everyone.

Spudnuts

Derek and Marsha are famous in the C. family for their homemade doughnuts called "spudnuts." They have a yearly tradition of inviting all of the cousins at BYU and in the area for a huge party. We weren't able to go last year, so there was no way we were missing it this year. The spudnuts were AMAZING! Christian ate three of them himself. Marsha was turning out the doughnuts as fast as we could eat them. Having all of the cousins there was great. It was a loud and fun party!

I am so sad that I didn't get any pictures at the party.

If you can believe it... Marsha's spudnuts looked even better than these!
