Houston

If there's one thing Devon misses about living in Utah, it's College Football! We definitely don't have a shortage of it here in Texas, but there's just something about seeing 'your' team play. Luckily, BYU played a game in Houston this past weekend. We loaded up the boys and five million other things (it's amazing the amount of crap you have to travel with when you have kids!) early Saturday morning. It's only a four hour drive, so the boys were pretty good in the car. The first thing that surprised us about Houston was how beautiful it was! As soon as we hit the northern suburbs it was like we were in the forest. It was so green. Devon loved the combination of palm and pine trees.

After a stop at McDonald's to get the wiggles out, we headed to the game. Here are some cute pictures I got before the game started...

To say the game was exciting would be an understatement! It was the best game I've ever been to and I've been to a lot of games! About 1/3 of the people in the stadium were BYU fans, so the atmosphere was electric. The louder the Houston fans got, the louder the BYU fans got. Both of the boys LOVED it!

West is SO his father's son!!

 Both boys even got a little nap in (how they slept in all the noise is beyond me!)

Over four hours after kick off, BYU was finally able to pull out a 47-46 win. I was literally shaking the whole 4th quarter!! The coolest part of the game was BYU's victory lap after the game. West loved giving a high-five to all the players.

After a VERY restless sleep Saturday night (we have got to figure out a better way of sleeping with two little kids in a hotel room!), we headed to NASA Sunday.

As West would say, the boys as 'astrosnots'

This is a Saturn V rocket, they used this series of rockets for the Apollo missions

You would not want to be standing under this as it lifted off! In this picture West was saying 'OH WOW!' He said it about 500x, it was cute the first 2x.

The best pic I could get of Landon and mission control

By the time we left NASA we were exhausted! I think I'm still recovering ;) But all in all it was a great first Texas and Landon road trip!
