Game Day!

The two peas have been missing BYU's games like crazy! They got the chance to see one live at the Dallas Cowboy's Stadium. The cougars lost, but it was still fun to root for their team.

Check out that incredible gigantic screen!
We had such good seats, so close to the action!

State Fair of Texas

The two peas took a break from school this week to enjoy the State Fair of Texas.

They tasted four varieties of fried foods: buffalo chicken dipped in pancake batter and fried, corny dog fried, cookie dough fried, and strawberries dipped in chocolate dipped in waffle batter and fried. 
That's a ton of fried even when you split it!
 
They caught a glimpse of this year's butter sculpture:
Yes; the cow and all the people are pure butter!
They enjoyed an awesome acrobatic performance by Cirque Shanghai, pictured below.





And they enjoyed observing and petting animals from around the world.

Yummy Foods

For the wife, certain yummy foods help make a heaven on earth. All growing up dad made sushi and mom baked pies. So lately I've been striving to perfect these two skills and enjoying the fruits of my labor, even if they don't turn out perfect. They sure taste good!
