Kyleigh and I scored some tickets to a sold out game
Even though I follow "Y" football faithfully on TV it had been years (possibly 11?) since I attended a home game. So going to this home game for me was not a mere activity but an EVENT...loved everything about it...and always have....the pilgrimage down there, the traffic, hoards of fans, the hype, and listening to the pre and post game shows on KSL radio. I even like the smell of the football programs..no lie. (I'm weird, I know). And then...ALL those memories of going to the home games growing up ...Gah! I tell ya I lived for Saturdays and game day back then.
Both my brothers have season tickets so we went with them along with two nieces and nephews...had an absolute blast!
We sweated like pigs in the heat until night fell. Night games are my favorite! We successfully cheered them on to victory in a close game over the Washington Huskies. I yelled until I gave myself a headache! It's been a darn good week for Cougars fans....this unexpected win along with declaring our INDEPENDENCE. Halla-freak'in-lujah. It's about time.
All the former BYU ALL American quarterbacks were there for a special halftime presentation with LaVell Edwards. We ended up seeing Gifford Nielsen around this broadcast booth after the game and shaking his hand. Sweet!
This was my send off mid afternoon prior to leaving....how stink'in cute is this?

Poor daddy was outnumbered that day. We are a house divided as he's a little red blooded.. along with his brother who graciously helped me hang the "Y" flag, but then mischievously slipped in this bottom picture with his Utah hat. Even Jar was being a good sport with all the "Y" hoopla and went with to help me pick out a new BYU shirt and who also held down the fort with the babe and other kiddos while Kyleigh and I partied for hours. Thanks luv. What a trooper!
We had Y face tattoos, and sparkly blue nails....
and I even found new tennies with the blue and tan BYU colors....On a side note I guarantee this will be my first and last "SHOE" post of me wearing tennis shoes. I'm never in them ..ick!..unless I'm exercising outside.
Happy Birthday to me!
While my heart bleeds RED through and through, and that "Waldoesque" Uncle and I have had our share of red tinted adventures together. I have to say that baby is as cute as they come. EVEN if it's in a BYU blue ensemble.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have to find the SHOESday post from when I was pregnant and wore tennis shoes, along with yoga pants, actually OUT of the house. I was huge. It was a low moment. Boo looked at my feet and asked "Does Daddy know you're wearing his shoes".
For your viewing pleasure

And you can tell "Napoleon" that I'm turning him in for "Honor Code" violations for hanging that banner:). Also you can tell him to give me a call.
Got your package! My sister is in town, we're scheduling a viewing party. Thanks!
