This year has been such a fun year to watch BYU basketball what with all the Jimmermania and all. I wasn't able to go to any games during the season so at the last minute we decided it would be fun to go to the Mountain West Conference Tournament in Las Vegas. Josh is such a sweet husband and knew I really wanted to go - so he offered to stay with the kids while I took the weekend away and had some fun. Thanks hun!
Dad, Mom, Uncle Mike, Garrett, Colby, Dirty and I jumped in the van Friday morning and headed down. We had tickets for Friday night and Saturday afternoon so we could watch BYU play and then whoever played after them. It was such a fun weekend to just watch a lot of basketball and have fun in the warm weather!
We got to the Thomas and Mack Center an hour or so before the game and watched the teams warm up. The only camera I had was a dinky disposable camera so sorry for the terrible pics. But we were just happy to be there and cheer for our team! 
BYU won on Friday night so they were in the championship game on Saturday afternoon against San Diego State. Our seats happened to be right in the middle of the SDSU student section. We were not excited to be sitting by them since they aren't exactly the nicest fans around. So after a lot of searching and asking, we finally found some fans that were leaving just before the men's championship game started and were willing to give us their seats. They just happened to be the family members of the Utah Women's head basketball coach (who had just won the women's championship game right before) and had front row seats - hence we had front row seats for the championship game! We felt lucky to have found those nice Utah fans that were nice enough to let us use their seats! Plus we got to watch Jimmer up close! BYU ended up losing the game against SDSU but we had a fun weekend anyway! 
This was the temperature in the car just as we were pulling into Las Vegas. It was so nice! 
Go BYU!
