We decided that we needed to go to a BYU basketball game this year. Jackson Emery is a pretty good friend of ours, (he was our Home Teacher in our last ward) and we wanted to go cheer for him. It was also fun to be a part of the 'Jimmer-mania' that is crazy right now, he really is an amazing ball player.
It's a huge year for BYU and it's fun that we got to be there and watch them play.
We got to the game just as the team was coming out. It was dark and unbelievably loud in the Marriott Center and the girls both FREAKED! They were both terrified and screaming at the top of their lungs, it was quite funny actually.
We sat in our seats for about 2 minutes trying to get them to calm down, but it wasn't going to happen. We went out in the hall and let them run around and get settled down.
Dave and I took turns watching the game and started taking the girls in for little spurts at a time. Gradually, they decided that it was OK and I think they started to enjoy it. They would both clap and cheer, even when they were scared.
I got to see Jackson make a great interception, and Jimmer make a couple of sweet 3 pointers, so that's all I needed.
I took lots of pictures, so that Maggie and Chloe will have evidence that they watched (kind of) one of the best BYU teams in history.

After the game.
It was quite the workout trying to wrangle the 2 girls, but it was a fun day and I think it was worth it :)
Here are some cute videos for your enjoyment.
(don't worry they are really short, and pretty funny)
The first one is Chloe dancing to the half-time entertainment and the second one is Maggie reacting to BYU scoring....excitement + a little terror.
