For the past few years, Matt and his buddies have roadtripped to one BYU game for his birthday. Last year I weaseled my way into their trip to Vegas, but this year ALL of the wives and kids were invited to tag along for one epic BYU Extravaganza!
It was so epic that I'm pretty sure Chad will most likely never allow us to attempt it again.
We drove down to Phoenix with Mike and his family and I was a little nervous about all of us being crammed into one car, but it was not bad at all!
The kids did great for the most part and Matt insisted on bringing a wedge of goat cheese in the car for all of us to share, so everyone was pretty happy.
We spent the night in Vegas on the way down, which included a classy dinner at Del Taco and an exciting run in with a high/drunk/homeless person and their dog? Eventually we made it down to Phoenix where it was ridiculously hot. We pulled up to the Airbnb we had booked and got inside to find that the lovely individual that owned the house had turned off the air conditioner and it was 100 DEGREES INSIDE THE HOUSE. Who turns off their air conditioner in Phoenix in the middle of summer??? We turned the air on and got right back into the car for a trip to air conditioned Walmart. After about two hours, we came back and the house was down to 85 degrees, so we all lived. We only ventured out into the heat again in order to find some dinner, and luckily Yelp led us to Texas BBQ House

I will be dreaming of that brisket for a long time......... SOOOO GOOD.
The next day was Matty's birthday, so we made all his dreams come true and celebrated with burgers for lunch
And pretty soon it was time to head to the game!
It was a super great game! Jas gets startled by loud noises easily, but we borrowed these baby earmuffs from LJ and Jas was happy as a clam!
Obviously loving life.
We surprisingly had a lot of visitors at the game
And I had some AMAZING chili cheese fries
So really I guess I was happy as a clam. Especially after Jas fell asleep in my arms during the fourth quarter.
Have I mentioned that she is the best baby EVER??
Sunday morning, I snuck out with Jas to have breakfast with my best friend from high school and to give these two besties-to-be a playdate.
It was so good to see Amber and visit for a while! I don't get to see Am enough, and it was so fun to spend some time with her and see how big all of her kids have gotten. Too soon, I had to rush back to the house to pick everyone up and get back on the road. That night we drove to the Grand Canyon and checked it out for a few minutes before the sun went down, the kids had meltdowns, and we all died of hunger. And I didn't get any pictures because... I was cold and hangry and I'm lame. We drove on to Kingman, where we stayed the night at a little motel before heading the rest of the way home. All in all, a successful roadtrip!
I love it when the boys let us tag along on their trips!
(It was good while it lasted since it will probably never happen again!)
