Ashley's First BYU Football Game

Earlier in the week my neighbor Bryan took me to the Utah-TCU game. It was sweet. I am not a Ute fan, but I root for them on occasion. Ashley was mad that I even went to the Ute game and actually started to cry because she thought that I liked them more. I had to smooth things over by taking her to the BYU game (tickets provided by my other neighbor Dave). I owe my neighbors BIG obviously. Ashley's first Cougar game was awesome. Matt Payne, former BYU kicker and co-worker of mine, took me and Ashley on the field. We saw Will Nixon there who is probably on the field the whole time, every game. Anyway we saw Cosmo, Mitch Payne the kicker, and of course cheerleaders. We stayed on the field when the team entered which was cool and we also went to center field when the team did their Polynesian cultural center dance. It was sweet, plus they won the game.

Ashley enjoyed watching the cheerleaders (so did I).

First Family Pheasant Hunt

Today my bro-in-law Nate invited me and the girls to go pheasant hunting at a pheasant ranch. We took out twelve pheasants and brought home 10. It was cool. The girls had fun. The guide's dog that came with us found a pheasant and caught it rather than flushing it out. It chewed the hen enough that it couldn't fly, so the kids ended up naming it Checkers and took turns holding it for the entire hunt. They eventually got bored and made a nest for Checkers. When we got back to the truck, Kolton who is six rang Checkers neck and we will be eating Checkers tomorrow for lunch. Kaitlyn started feeling sick and puked 20 minutes after we got home. I told Tara that know I have provided food for the family by sea, by land, and by air.
