Football!


















BYU beat Oklahoma tonight 14-13. A bit of a surprise for BYU to upset the team that made it to the Nationals last year. It cracks me up to watch Diamond watch a BYU game - especially when it's close. Can you tell when Oklahoma failed their field goal attempt?

Meanwhile, the boys set up their own stadium - complete with lights for a night game. (I swear my boys aren't too interested in coming up with stages for a play, or costumes for dress up, but they will spend all kinds of time getting the backyard ready for a game, and will dress in uniform according to the sport they are playing!)


It was amazing how bright they got the place! I suppose gathering up every lamp from every room in the house adds up!


The boys had a great time playing football with their friend while the dads watched BYU inside. They did come in for the final bit - enough to be thrilled when BYU won.


Then Thursday night Diamond took the big boys to a Broncos game. They had never been before (games are usually on Sunday) and LOVE it! Of course BB#1 was as thrilled to see the pyrotechnics as much as the game, and they had a great time!

Ahh, football, and it's only Labor Day...

LOL!!!! Oh the life of a mom with only boys... you see I don't even know what the relationship football and Labor Day have. I am assuming it means there is more?

I am so glad the boys got to go to a broncos game though!!! We were shocked when we moved to CO and saw how the whole state was into football. SERIOUSLY IT WAS CRAZY!!! so it seems that every young man should be able to go to a game!!!! Way to go!!!! Will they play again on a Thursday???

I love the whole night game thing going on there! Poor Tim doesn't even get KBYU! My boys did watch the Broncos game on Thursday, and were mentioning how cool it was the the BB's were there!

Maybe you guys could come over for a game...I'm sure the tension would be deep...my husband usually paces during the game-he's on crutches right now so he just has no fingernails left...LOL
