Fun with Football, Fairs & Family!

Chris' sister and her family came to stay with us for a week last month and it turned our quiet little house into a circus! She has 5 boys...8,6, twin 4 year olds and a 1 year old! Brielle and Dean had the time of their lives!!! We went to a BYU football game, I love this picture of all the kids ready to go...We went the game started at 1:00 and we were right on time...unfortunately it started at 1:30 and by the time the game started we were sweating to death and Dean was making me nuts...he wanted to get down and walk around so bad and he was dying to go up and down the stairs! Near the end of the 1st quarter, I looked at Chris fighting to keep Dean in his arms and said 'well, that was fun but I think our time is up'. Poor Chris was relieved to see us go...I don't blame him...plus Brielle and I were sweating to death!I love this picture of Dean....he makes this face a lot...usually when he is looking at me and waiting for me to say 'No' before he runs toward the toilet or something!She has the face of an angel...and she acts like one almost all of the time!I love that this picture 'shows off' Dean and his bow legs!We also went to the Utah State Fair. What an experience...animals are dirty!
This is how I feel at the end of the day too...I can't imagine how my Elise (my sis. in law) feels!

Is Brielle crying in that first picture? It looks like she's not happy about something. Just an observation.

She's not crying...I think it is more of a panic look...maybe there was a ball coming at her or she was amazed at the mayhem around her...she looks so still in comparison to everyone else! I don't recall any crying!

I love that first picture - did I see it on Elise's blog too? So funny. That is a classic.

It's great that you had so many fun things to do to stay busy! I am glad you are all alive :)

Looks like so much fun, but I'm kinda glad I wasn't there. Wow.

I love that all my neices and nephews are such cute kids, cuz if they weren't...

It sounds like you did lots of fun things. Yes, that's the way to make memories! Making memories take effort. I think the pictures are lovely. I am sure Brielle was hot and tired of sitting and waiting for so long. You guys are GREAT. Exhausted I am sure.

I like that first picture. Brielle is just geting used to boys playing football on all sides of her!
