BYU vs. Air Force Football Game

The Gang at our tailgate party before the game! I can actually EAT a hotdog when its cooked outside...a strange mental phenomenon!

Mom and Chan...you can tell he really loves hugs from Mom...is he that age already??

Thank you to our friends, Damon and Johanna, for helping us get cheap tickets to the Air Force vs. BYU game on Saturday! I had a "partner in crime" that day (in Johanna)! We were able to schedule a play audition and merit badge college along with remembering the food, coats, tickets and ALL of our kids! PHEW! To see our plan in action was so rewarding...so thank you to all of the amazing people we have in our life who helped in the execution of Project "Busy Saturday"!

Of course anytime BYU wins, its a great day! Things looked a bit questionable during the first half...we were hoping one of the players didn't need to "repent". But, in the end, we came through victorious! It was fun to share it with many friends. I think the kids had a great time because they were able to be with THEIR friends!

And I need to mention that I got a virtual "punch in the gut" walking into the stadium...after the awesome "fly over" of the US Air Force fighter jets, I overheard Chandler say under his breath, "Oooo, Cheerleaders!" Forget the days where trains, trucks and planes were Chandler's obsession...now we're moving into "ooo, cheerleaders??" I seem to be having more of these "loose my breath" moments lately. Is this what growing up feels like to a mom? If so, I'm going to be writing a LOOOOONG letter to my mom thanking and apologizing for providing many moments like this for her. She's gonna get a BIIIIIG gift this year....BIG!
