Let the GAMES Begin!

As luck would have it, the weekend that Nana and Granddad came was the same weekend that Brooklynn and Ty started their Soccer/Football games. On this day we were extra specially lucky because both their games were in the morning, did not overlap, and would allow us to head to Austin for the BYU game that night.

Brooklynn's game was first up.  She did pretty well for her first game and assissted with a couple of goals, she also had a few great shots even though they didn't go in.  She also was able to play Keeper in the second half and although it took a few minutes for her to get her bearings and remember what she was doing - she did great and had a fun game.  Her team is called Enchanted and she plays with some great little ladies.  She put in such a great effort that she won the game ball and was able to bring it home and sign it so that it could be passed on the next week!

Ty's game was next on the agenda.  They were playing the Saints and they ended up having a good game and shutting the Saints out.  Ty played great and had fun.  He was even chosen as one of the Captains for the game.  He is playing Defensive Tackle or Defensive End so far this year.  It was so fun to watch him play and although I thought I would be super nervous, I wasn't too bad.  I will say though he looks just like a mini Steve all decked out in his pads/uniform!



All ready to go and he even chose to wear Steve's number!

After all the excitement of Opening Day - Nana, Granddad, Tyler, Steve and I got in the car to head to Austin for the Texas vs. BYU game.  This was part of Ty's birthday present because it was the day before his birthday.  He was so excited to go with us and see BYU play.  As far as we can remember this was his first BYU Game.  We were all wearing our new BYU gear (thanks Nana) and while we were at the BYU tailgate party I bought him a new hat for his birthday!

Look at that handsome boy!  Man I love him!

Nana and Granddad and Papa Greg is standing up, he met us at the game.

Even though BYU lost, we will ignore that part, we had a great time. We were close to melting it was so hot, but it was a great experience.  The stadium at Texas was HUGE, I have never seen a stadium so big!  It was crazy, hot, fun, and the perfect way to spend a Saturday! 

(It would not be right if I didn't mention Jeni and Brian who were the best and took my 3 other little monkey's for the afternoon/night!  Love you guys!! )
