Go BYU!!

I am so excited it is time for BYU football again. I have always been a BYU fan and I always will be. (even if my husband is a Utes fan.) I have actually never been to a BYU football game before so this was my first. Gilbert took my brother-in-law's cousin (Jethro) out fishing and he gave Gilbert some free tickets to the game. Gilbert first declined them and said it was okay he didn't want them, but when he told me what he did, I told him to call him and tell him he changed his mind. I couldn't believe Gilbert declined free tickets. I have always wanted to go to a game but never really given the opportunity. I was so excited we got to go to a game and this was a really fun one to go to. Gilbert loved it too. We didn't get there until halftime because we were stuck in so much traffic in Provo Canyon, but I am so glad we made it for halftime. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, Steve Young, and Lavell Edwards were all there for the halftime show. This picture shows all three of them and many other famous BYU quarterbacks right behind Gilbert and Andrew.
Andrew loved clapping the whole halftime show.
When we got there, BYU was down 13 to 14, but as soon as we started watching they were awesome! They played so good. It was so fun and Andrew did so good too.
The people right in front of us were Washington fans but they were so nice. Andrew loved flirting with them the whole time. I bought some little cards with pictures of Jesus on them and Andrew loved looking through them the whole game. They were the best entertainer ever. And there was a really nice man sitting to our left that kept letting Andrew drive his Lightning McQueen car on his knee. I am sure most people would have hated us for having Andrew there, but we got lucky and sat by such awesome nice people. Andrew loved saying "Go Cougars!" It was so cute when he said it, and I was glad to get him thinking the right color to root for. :) I am happy to get it in his blood early on.
This is Andrew showing us the pictures of Jesus that kept him so well entertained.
Such a fun thing to do. Go to a BYU football game. I LOVED IT!!!

Go Cougars! (I need to get me a BYU shirt now so I can be better prepared for the games.) If anyone has free tickets they can't use we would love to take them. :)

That is so awesome you got to go to that game! It would be super fun to go to a BYU game....to watch a team that is actually good at football. Aggie games are fun, but the Cougar stadium would be more exciting I am sure. BYU actually wins games. :) Looks like you guys had a blast.
