# 5 BYU @ #13 UCSD

Go Cougars! BYU won Friday night in 4 and Saturday night in 3!

Reed played awesome Friday night. He had a new career high 72 assists (previous high was 65)! He also had an ace, 7 digs, and 2 blocks-one of which was a solo block to win the 2nd set!

He had another good night Saturday night, but the coach switched things up once they had established a good lead and rested Reed.

So what does all of this mean for the Cougs? It means they are currently tied for 1st with Pepperdine in the conference! And we play Pepp at home the 5th and 6th of March (we'll see you all there!). What does that mean for me? My annual volleyball season ulcer will probably double in size that weekend. I can't wait-I love volleyball season!

Evan (& BYU) @ UCI

#3 BYU played at #11 UC Irvine this last weekend, which is within an hour of my parents house. So we drove down with one of the other VB wives, Amanda, for the games and stayed with my parents. It was a quick trip, but it was so fun! I couldn't have asked Evan to be any better on the long car drives! He was so good! We were able to enjoy some nice warm weather on Thursday, but had rain on Friday. But we were just happy it wasn't snow, we didn't even really mind it!

Here is Evan while we had lunch at Chipotle

Uncle Trae feeding Evan...I love that Evan is watching him!Hanging out with my Johansson grandparents before the game

Thursday night was crazy. The Cougars won in 5 games. Why do we need to go to 5 games guys? A quick sweep is so much easier...and all the good food places are still open. :)

Here are all of my family members that came...thanks guys...and nice face Trae!

Thankfully we learned how much Evan loves bananas. This kid just goes at 'em! It's pretty cute.We got that quick sweep we were talking about earlier on Friday night. Too bad it was in UCI's favor.

Friday night we brought the husbands back to my parent's house with us. It was so nice to be back together a day early! Thanks mom and dad for housing us-we had a wonderful time!

(I was so busy trying to get the little one to smile that I chopped off my Dad's head...opps!)

No Way

My baby just turned 6 months. Really? Half a year already? Really? I can not believe it! He's getting so big! And he is just so fun. We sure do love him a lot!

#4 BYU @ #6 UCLA

The Cougars traveled to UCLA this past weekend to take on the Bruins. Back at home we had to settle for an audio only broadcast and "live" stats online. I wish we would've been able to watch this one because it was intense! BYU dropped the first set 38-40! It was a long, hard one to lose, especially after having 6 set points. Dang. Unfortunately they lost the next 2 games to give UCLA the sweep. One highlight was Reed's ace!


Saturday night was a battle to the end. But don't worry, the Cougars were victorious in 5! It was a big win for the team. They played so much better Saturday night and came away with what they deserved. Reed played so well and came away with 7 blocks!


Thanks to members of the Wives Club for coming over to watch stats pop up and keep me company! Love you guys!

This picture was taken after a game last year when I was just starting to show with Evan...can you tell?! lol

No. 3 Stanford at No. 5 BYU

Oh man, games this weekend were intense! We knew the games were gonna be good, but they were even better than expected! Friday night we had a crowd of 4400! It was so loud and so crazy (just ask Evan!). BYU dropped the first game and then never looked back. They took the next 3 games to win the match! It was so exciting! Reed played awesome and had a great dig on match point!

Saturday had a smaller crowd, but the energy was still great. They team played pretty well, but dropped the match in 4 sets. Dang. It was really frustrating because we totally out played them and almost all of our stats were better. The guys just made costly mistakes at the wrong time. But the season is still early and we have a lot more volleyball! Reed had another really great game. He had a career high 69 sets! Bring on the Bruins!

We didn't get very many pictures this week, but I love this one of Evan and his cousin, James. James really loves Evan so much. He came and sat next to Evan and asked me to take their picture...but Evan wanted to stay on Mom's lap!
And here's Evan enjoying his new high chair...look how little it makes him look!

Pacific @ #5 BYU

This last weekend was the BYU Men's Volleyball team's home opener! I have been so excited for season to start! I was pretty nervous about how Evan would handle all the noise and craziness, but he handled it all very well. The 2nd night he even fell asleep during the first game while sitting on the front row! Evan also had his very first interview! Reed's brother works in the media department, so he told the interviewer guy that my parents really wanted to see Evan on TV. So he came and got us during a timeout and Grandma Jo got what she wanted!

The Cougars played really well. They swept Pacific both nights! And the crowd was so awesome Friday night-they had over 4,000 people there! It was a lot of fun. Reed started both nights and did great. And now, here are the pictures you've all been waiting for...Evan in is jersey!

For those of you in town, BYU will be playing #3 Stanford at home this Friday and Saturday night at 7pm. For those of you not close by, the games will be broadcasted live on BYU-TV both nights. Should be some good volleyball! Go BYU!

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

It's volleyball season! We are so excited! Last weekend the Cougars played in a tournament in Santa Barbara and did very well. The #6 ranked Cougs beat #2 UC Irvine (the defending national champions) and #8 UCLA. They ended up losing to CSUN in the championship game, so they took 2nd in the tournament! Not a bad way to start the year!

This weekend is their home opener against Pacific. So come see us Friday and Saturday night at the Smith Fieldhouse at 7 if you're around!

Can't wait to see Evan wear this for the first time...we've waited so long!
