Brown Family

We had a fun trip to Albuquerque to watch BYU play UNM in the Pit. We arrived a little early and as we were walking around looking at the newly completed renovations of the Pit, the team bus pulled up.  We watched them as they walked by us and commented about each player.  Morgan and David had seats on the 3rd row so we all went down and watched the team warm up.  The rest of us had seats in the "Club," which were up high but comfortable leather seats.  Doug and David got tickets from attorney friends that were not using them.  By the way as we were walking into the Pit we saw some BYU fans, but when the game started they were mixed throughout the crowd, so we felt like the only fans there.  The game was great fun.  We got a 13 point lead and right then Doug mentioned, "I hate to be ahead in the Pit."  Sure enough UNM started a run and the crowd went wild.  It is the craziest atmosphere.

We had a wonderful holiday season.  Here are some pictures of a few things we did: Attended a wedding in Mesa Christmas Dinner Lots of Christmas Parties Made a gingerbread house  Went Tubing Ashley received the Lion House Pie book for Christmas and so we experimented with a different pie and style every day Apple Banana Cream  Coconut Cream   Chocolate Chip Walnut  Cherry  Berry

We found a beautiful tree this year on the Ranch.  We went tree hunting after school one day, and didn't have any major catastrophes as in years past.  We brought the tree home and decorated it and slowly it started to lean, but never fear we have it tied up tight!  Rachel had her dance recital this week.  

We had an enjoyable Halloween weekend.  Doug and Morgan went to the Snowflake temple and got home just in time for our ward trunk or treat party.  Rachel dressed up as a pirate.  We carved pumpkins, and make pumpkin pie and roasted seeds.

We are almost at the end of the 2010 soccer season.  Rachel had an exciting season. We were the coaches for her team. We played the "Yellow Team" early on in the season and lost 10-1.  We played them again for our last game and beat them 2-1.  They were currently undefeated and they cried after the game and were shocked by the loss.  It was great fun! Morgan's team has had 3 overtime games this season, losing each one in a PK shootout. Nevertheless it has been a good season, and we have all enjoyed watching Morgan play.   Morgan is #12.

Rachel and Morgan went back to school today.  Rachel is in a new school; 6th grade in the Middle School.  Morgan is in 11th grade.
