Go Frogs, Happy Birthday Trev, and Viva Mexico!

The Facts are these:
*The TCU Horned Frogs played The BYU Cougars on Thursday 16 October at TCU's Amon G. Carter Stadium.
*My mom and dad, Trevor, Cami, Kevin, Ashley, Spencer, their little girl Sophie, Lance, and nearly every other mormon within 5 hours driving distance, who weren't on their missions, were in attendance at this game.
*TCU was ranked number 24 and BYU was ranked number 8 at the time this game was played.
*After this game, TCU is ranked number 14 and BYU is ranked number 21.
*The day this intense fall in the polls happened, as previously mentioned on October 16, which was also the 16th birthday of Trevor, diehard BYU fan.
*The final score was TCU- 32, BYU- 7

Poor Trevor.

Despite the polar feelings between me, a horned frog, and the rest of my family who came to the game, cougars 'till the end, it was a fun night which we ended with dinner for Trevor's birthday at Ihop!


This is Spencer, Ashley, and Sophie, who made the five hour drive from Lubbock, Texas to see their cougars play. That is dedication, my friend.

Sophie was so cute all decked out in blue- she had the CUTEST blue ribbons adorning her pigtails! Ashley has some really cute pictures of her with the pretty fall flowers on campus. Thanks Again Ashley and Spencer for giving up your extra ticket so Lance could watch the game with us!


This is my mom, Cami, and Kevin ready to cheer on their BYU cougars...


My mom is really a horned frog at heart... As evidenced by the horned frog symbol. I know, I know, you want to taunt her and make fun of her- I just ask you to be kind.


This is during half time, when Lance and I came to the BYU section to taunt-- I mean, console, my family at the 23-0 lead TCU had over BYU. Yes, Lance was wearing blue. Don't even get me started...


Cami, too, is a horned frog at heart. I ask you to be nice to her as well. She can't help her true feelings- she was born that way.


This is one of the MANY reasons why I love Texas- look at that sunset! GO HORNED FROGS! :)

So, Because Trevor's birthday was on the 16th, and he got to cheer on the victorious horned frogs on that special day, we had a family celebration the next night. I was able to come home for the weekend, and since Lance was on Fall Break, he got to tag along. He's beginning to become more of a permanent fixture in our family, which- I love. It is so wonderful seeing him in all sorts of new situations; it has been really good for us to be able to see each other more this year.

The celebration kicked off Friday night with a good ol' fashioned pizza-making party. It was so much fun- but my mom has those pictures, so I'll let you read about it on her blog. While the pizzas were baking, Trevor opened his presents. He got cologne, clothes, and candy- what more could a boy who is 16 want-- oh, besides a car and a macbook (which, much to his chagrin, he didn't get)!


This was handsdown the best gift of the evening: Cam admitted IN WRITING on Trevor's birthday card that she was glad he was born a boy. When my mom brought our new baby brother home from the hospital 16 years ago, my sister and I were very unamused that she brought home a boy and not a girl. WELL, 16 years later, we have both decided God knew what he was doing- the Lesueur family probably would have reached its untimely demise if there was another girl in our blessed little family. Trev, we're ALL glad you are a Trevor and not a Trevina! :)


When asked what kind of birthday cake he would like my momma and me to MAKE for his birthday, he replied, "I want an icecream cake from Wal-Mart." You can imagine my little Martha Stewart heart fell. So begrudgengly, we bought this cake from Wal-Mart, and he loved it.

Another specific Trevor gave us about his birthday is, he wanted a Mexican dinner with just the family and Kendra. So, we got out our best chimichanga and enchilada recipes, a bag of chips, and a lot of red white and green decorations

This is our mexican flag table, complete with mexican sodas and mexican flag place cards.


Here's my mom and dad and their cute place cards.


Cam and Kevin are sweet!


Trevor and his beloved Kendra. Note the piniata in the background- its hanging from the balcony. I really love having a balcony in that house!


Here is Lance and me, stuffing the piniata. we do everything with a smile :) Just so you know-- it was my dad who ended up breaking the piniata, it was fun to feel like a 10-year-old at a birthday party again!!

This was a super fun weekend, and it was so great to spend it with those I love most!
