Every year we go see the most adorable Santa with an out door sleigh. It only goes on the saturday after Thanksgiving. Which happens to fall on the UTAH vs. B.Y.U game every year. This year we had tickets to see the game. We were going to be short on time so we( my little family) all got dressed in our Utah gear and took pictures with Santa, then rushed off to the game. We had 6 tickets total and My sister in law was so kind to give up her ticket so my dad could go. She even watched Cali for me which was a very long time. Thank you Laura. Guess my dad really lucked out that she is not as much into football. We had a equal balance. 3 Utah fans and 3 B.Y.U fans. Lucky for us the tickets were on the Utah fan side.
Keeping with tradition we met everyone who was going to the game at Burger Supreme in Provo and then walked over to the game. Reuben and Sara and my Dad and Lori were all in town so we all met for lunch there.
Alan sprayed Jacob and my other nephew Sean's hair blue.
We walked around all the pre game stuff and the bous did the football toss.
And even though we ultimatley lost it was a super close and exciting game. We all remained friends and look forward to next years game. When I got home and found out that Max Hall (B.Y.U 's Q.B.) Hates me and thinks I am classless. He "hates everything about the University of Utah". Although I took offense at first I only have to laugh now. I laugh because his words after the game will forever be rememberd and even with his sorry, forced appology, he will never live down those words. Thanks Max for what you said. It gives me a good chuckle everytime I think about it. I now have a T-shirt that says "Max Hall hates me too. LOL.
Well if you really want to know why we are so busy all the time it's football. Andrew joined The Brighton Ute Gremlins this year. It all started in July and goes thru October maybe Nov. if they make the playoffs. I have to say I was very nervous about the whole football commitment at 8 years old. I have to say though that it has been a wonderful experience. Andrew was lucky enough to be selected to play with the best coaches and team a mom could ask for. They have a lot of fun together. Although intense and hectic at times we are loving it. Andrew plays hard and is having a blast learning what teams are all about. We have practice 3 times a week. Then games on saturday We have awesome coaches, team moms, kids and parents. Andrew plays with 8-9 and some 10 year olds. He is one of the youngest on the team but has a lot of heart. He has been playing tight end. He has learned so much already. He is #93. There truly is nothing better than seeing your child happy and working hard and excelling in so many ways.. We are so proud of you Andrew boy! Oh and you look awesome in that uniform!
This is Andrew swimming at his most recent swim meet. He swam 3 heats. 25yrd Butterfly, 25 yrd Breast strok and 25 yrd free style. He got first place in all three heats. Way to go Andrew! We are so proud of you. You are awesome!
