BYU Homecoming!

We had quite a weekend last week. Brooks spent his birthday in Seattle for a job interview. He did more interviewing than seeing Seattle, but that's ok. After he got back we finally took him to Texas Roadhouse - his most favorite restaurant ever. He's been wanting to go forever, but we just haven't made it up that way until now. It was delicious! We shared a dish and were both stuffed after (thanks for the idea BreeAnne). They also made Brooks sit on "the saddle" (it's a real saddle they bring out) while they sang happy birthday. I couldn't find my camera in time, but I wish I could have had a picture of it! So if you are the kind of person who doesn't like to be sung to on your birthday in a restaurant I would recommend steering clear of Texas Roadhouse!

Brooks was so excited about his birthday cake that we forgot to sing to him before we dished it up - hence the candles on the single piece of cake. The funny face is because he is helping us sing happy birthday to him.

Saturday morning I ran the BYU Cougar Run - Homecoming 5k which was a goal I set before I had Spencer. There were flurries of snow in the air all morning and the score board at the track said 33 degrees before we started! Brrrrrrr! I didn't prepare as well as I should have, but I did it in under 30 minutes - which was a lot better than I thought I would do. It was fun to have Brooks and Spencer there to cheer me on!

After the race we caught part of the Homecoming Parade. I don't think either one of us has seen the parade in all the years we've been here. We went home and got warmed up before we ventured on to the football game. It was the first game we've been to this season and Spencer's first football game ever! He wasn't quite sure about all the noise at the game, every time the crowd cheered he would start crying. He made it through though even catching a few short naps here and there.

Once again we hurried home to thaw out! It was a great weekend and fun way to spend our last homecoming at BYU!
