Rise and Shout...

...the Cougar fans are out!

Friday afternoon we all went down to Provo for the sole purpose of buying the 2011 BYU football $5 T-Shirt (which they actually bumped up to $10 this year...can you believe it!?) and some ice cream of course! It was a fun, quick trip down and back.

Who can see this and not take a picture?

Not Mom!

2 Completely Awesome things about this picture.... 1-Claire's super cute bumblebee hat and 2-She is carrying around her swimsuit (she is a big fan of water, swimming, swimsuit, etc.). It went all through the bookstore, across the parking lot, and to the creamery.

Stud of a brother.

Mom and Nate eating the yumminess that is ice cream.

A-DOR-A-BLE!

N. Mexico Domination

The 20th of November BYU had a double day---basketball (against Chicago State) and football (against New Mexico). Kyle, Ben, and I decided to make a day of it and go to both games.

As we were walking up to the game we bought some tickets from guy on the sidewalk trying to sell some...and would you believe that they were on the 2nd row endzone!!?? I know that not all people feel those are the best seats because then you are REALLY close and can't see a lot, but I still felt special and cool :D

It was an AWESOME game! A little cold but the sun came out for awhile and it wasn't too bad.

We saw Cosmo more than a couple of times.

We were really close to the cheerleaders when they would run around when we scored (the guy holding the U...he was in my freshman ward and he even threw me a shirt at one point---now that's enough to feel special :D).

This almost looks like a professional! Only because it is so close and you can see the details, never thought that, that would be something that I could say about my photography.

Though it wasn't too cold there was definitely some wind, look how straight those flags are!

The players telling us that we should be clapping and cheering.

My roommate works concessions and I went to visit her during halftime :D

I don't know why, but every time I see this it cracks me up "Brides have them...Babies have them...Now missionaries have one too! The Missionary Registry."

Kyle and I (he is wearing my hat :D)

Ahh much better

Cosmo

He jumped into the crowd! I've never been even close to something like that.

Did I mention that we won? Final Score...40-7! (we also won basketball ball! 109-60!)

Oh another thing...did I mention that we were on TV? Yeah that's right! There was several people standing beside us that were dressed up rather silly, they won some kind of drawing about being the best fan or something like that and they also caught the attention of the reporter from the mtn and with like 8 minutes to go of the game she came over and climbed up into the stands with us and did a little bit of talking and then we all got to cheer. I had many people tell me that they saw me!

I didn't think that I would get to see it but the Tuesday after the game Brea and I had gone shopping and we had stopped at Taco Time to get some food and I was walking towards the bathroom when I looked up at the TV, I realized that it was the game and stopped to tell Brea that it was the game. Just as I was telling her I popped up on the TV! I actually recognized my hat on Kyle before I recognized myself but it was still awesome to be there at the exact moment when they were showing it.

The Boys of Fall

I love the things said by the coaches...such good advice to all!

BYU vs. Nevada

Saturday afternoon Kyle and I were going to head up to the good ol' Wilk to watch the BYU vs. Nevada football game. About 20 minutes before it was set to start I receive a text from Kyle asking if I wanted to go watch the game at the stadium instead of at the Wilk, of course I jumped at the chance. He had randomly had someone instant message him and asked if he wanted tickets to the game, I guess the guy had gotten sick and 4 tickets, so he e-mailed Kyle the tickets and we were set. We invited Brea and Darrell (and Addilyn of course :D) to join us with the extra tickets. We got some pretty good seats, 13th row, on the end! Despite us losing it was a fun afternoon spent with friends and a couple thousand other fans.

What fun would a game be without pictures taken :D Brea and I

My big Bro and I. I have really enjoyed having Kyle in Provo with me...isn't is amazing how we can have a completely different relationship than when we were younger (when I would certainly would not have appreciated having him close)

The new Mama! Who would have thought that she would be taking Addilyn to her first football game when she was only 3 1/2 weeks old?

Brea and Darrell

Baby Addilyn, she was still waking up from her long nap (she is really good and can sleep through all the noise of the game)

It got really confusing for me at some points because Nevada was blue and white too!

Our seats were amazing besides this one part...we had the sun in our eyes the whole time! Amazingly though the next day I wasn't burnt as I thought that I would be.

I just think this picture is funny of Brea and her finger in the binky.

Brea!

Cute baby Addilyn!

Of course I had to add another one :D
