Bountiful Burn Out!

Tonight we attended the Bountiful Rotary Coats For Kids Burnout!  It was fun to see cars and trucks attempt to lay down the rubber on the road.  

I even remembered to get a photo of me and my hubby!

 Some gave it a good try but were only marginally successful.

Others, like Scott Bradshaw, made a moderate amount of smoke.

Then there was the Utah Highway Patrol car--complete with Magnaflow exhaust and cold air intake!  It was a crowd favorite!

But my favorite was the red smokin truck!  I think they spray painted their tires to get the red smoke.  It was awesome!  After the burnout we caught up with Katie, Taylor, and Mark.  Mark was sporting his attractive vest and ID--doesn't he look official?  This was the first year Katie was allowed "behind the lines".  Guess Daddy gave in to his little princess, Taylor!  Zac was much too busy with Uncle Scott to be bothered with a picture.

Tina was able to get the night off and join in the fun with her family!

After the burnout Kevin and I walked down Main Street and admired all the cool looking cars.  Can't wait for the car show at the park tomorrow!

HARMONY - The Music of Life

Young Ambassadors rehearse prior to "green room".

Last evening we traveled to Provo to watch Brad perform with the Young Ambassadors in the DeJong concert hall at Brigham Young University. I had the opportunity to attend "green room" prior to the show. This was my first "green room" experience and it was amazing!

Randy Boothe and Eric Hansen review final show details.

Living Legends attend "green room"

The Living Legends attended the Thursday night performance and came to "green room" to commend and encourage the group.  They brought a basket of chocolate and  expressed how much they loved the spirit of the show.

Brad, YA President, addresses the group in "green room".

What a treasured experience to hear my son bear his testimony and acknowledge his love for his Savior, his parents, family, director, and the members of the cast and crew!

Final group cheer and it's showtime!

We purchased tickets for the entire family so Mark and Katie, Tina, Rick and Shyann joined us for the performance. Shyann had the opportunity to be the "princess" in the show--complete with a tiara. Her smile was ear to ear! It was so much fun to have everyone together enjoying these memories as a family!

Brad and Kevin talk after the show.

Rick, Tina, and Shyann are all smiles.

Katie and Mark Bradshaw

Following the performance we went to Los Hermanos for a late dinner. Brad and Shae Hunsaker joined us and Mark and Katie. The food was great and the company lots of fun. We stayed overnight at our home away from home - the Provo Marriott Residence Inn and will attend the Saturday matinee before heading back home later today!

BYU vs. UNLV

Today Kevin and I went south to Provo to watch the Cougars of BYU take on the Runnin' Rebels of UNLV. The game was great and both teams played with heart. Thanks to a great quarterback sack and an interception in the endzone with seven seconds remaining in the game, the Cougars were victorious! It was a beautiful fall day for football and fun to spend the day together!

BYU Baseball's Newest Recruit!

While walking back to the car we passed the equipment room in the BYU baseball stadium. Sitting on the counter was a baseball jersey with #8 (Brad's number) on it. Kevin couldn't resist trying it on and posing for a photo which we, of course, emailed to Brad! His integrity, however, forced him to return it to the equipment room after the photo opportunity!
