It's "another Cougar First Down"...

BYU Football season has arrived! The first game was this past Saturday against Arizona. They won, even though they were picked to lose against Arizona--looks like we could be in for another great BYU football season. :)

It was a sweltering game sitting in the direct afternoon sunlight most of the game. I of course, not being very smart wore pants...uh, very dumb idea I know. Then I held Jackson on my Lap who was a sweaty mess, making me that much hotter.

I was fanning Jackson and giving him tons of fluids, when I thought, pull out one of the ice packs. He instantly put it to his forehead and left it there! It was so cute. I could just tell how hot he was (as pictured above). :)
At half time my Mom and I took Jackson out to the grass and let him roam and cool down. He loved it out there.

A group of boys about 8 and 9 were playing a game of football, Jackson thought it was great. He ran circles trying to follow the ball around.

One of the boys had Jackson join the huddle and made him the star of the next play. They said "hike" and handed him the ball. Jackson was beaming and trying to run (not really in any direct), then one of the boys picked him up and ran him into the endzone. It was great.

A few plays later they passed him the ball again and one of the boys (softly) tackled him to the ground. Jackson was laughing and laughing. He thought it was so fun. He had no idea what was going on, but he sure loved the attention. :)
It was a fun game! We are excited for the fun season ahead. We just wish Marc could've been there too, but alas, it seems Ken Garff will work him every Saturday and Holiday (because those are the best car selling days). We missed having you there Marc, maybe on a Thursday game you can come.

Looks like a great time. Football games are such a fun environment. It reminds me of the BSU game we went to last week, and it was so hot. We spent $9.00 on water. (and that was only for 3 bottles of water)We were so thirsty!

Michelle- Trust me, I don't have a clue what i'm doing with all the digi scrapbooking since my friend Jaime B. did that heading for me. She's awesome at it and I just didn't have the time to do it and figure it out. But I have heard of scrapblog. Cairen B. did her heading from that too. So Thanks!

Hi! I was actually thinking about you guys the other day and wondering how you were. It looks like we ended up having our little boys only 3 days apart! Sam was born on the 6th. I love your blog! I am also insanely jealous that you're in Utah Valley and get to watch BYU games. We get to listen to today's on the radio!
