Family time aka Super Bowl Sunday

We enjoyed a simple family gathering at Jimmy's brothers house on Sunday. Oh yeah, there was a football game to watch too.
The funniest thing that happened was Mr. James (Jimmy's nickname) conquered the drafty fireplace. Joe's house has a gas fireplace that is not in use. The fireplace allows air to flow into the family room. When the outside temperature is around freezing, it gets cold in that room! Jimmy was determined to plug up the hole to stop the draft, so he did. As simple as shoving an old towel in the hole! Go Jimmy. We watched the rest of the game in comfort and more warmth! Too bad the score was cold for the Broncos, but we still enjoyed at good & casual evening in Utah County!
Snacks, football Jello helmets, baby cousin Zippy, some puzzles & games. Oh, and Josser the dog! Forgot a picture of him!

Football Season

College Football Season has begun!

The University of Utah is now part of the Pac-12, so there was lots of excitement for this football season. (yes-too bad they are 0-4 in conference play. that bites. Utah does not have the same talent as some of the other Pac-12 schools. BUT WE BEAT BYU THIS YEAR!)

We took Runnin Wild to the season opener football game. We stopped in the book store, and Runnin Wild liked his picture with other birds.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

To go to the football game!

Tickets please.

We found our seats.

Let's go Utah!

Eat Montana State.

Under the stadium lights-

VICTORY.

We went to the Homecoming Game vs. Washington.

I enjoy being there for pre-game stuff!

Team coming out!

(I like this pix of me & my man!)

We look good!

Carl & Cynthia.

They rock!

(plus Carl orders the tickets for us-so we love him!)

There was a little incident in the section next to us during the game. Two potty mouth guys just about got in a fight with a dad that was asking them to stop the bad language. The dad's son was upset at the bad language. It was a good scream fest, almost a punch. Cops eventually made it down (BTW-it took a while to get someone down there.....I didn't want to run out of my seat to go tell the security people in bright shirts, so luckily someone a few rows behind me & closer to the isle saw the heated incident and told security who sent the officers down), both were taken away, talked to, and they both ended up back in their seats and no other problems.

excitement.

Well-Utah lost to Washington, so no post game happy picture.

10-0 University of Utah Utes

Thursday night was a thrilling Utah victory against Texas Christain University. Utah won the game with a winning drive with the under 3 minutes of the game! Oh! My head hurt from screaming soo much! Whew! A victory! I've loved the football games with my hubby this year! Its our date, and its great! (ha that rhymes!)

I am luvin the #7 BCS ranked UTES! Here are a few pix from the game!! Beautiful cold football weather, but we bundeled up! Oh, the second best thing of the night (Utah's victory was the first) was the line for the MENS restroom. It was SOO LONG during half time! I've never seen so many men waiting to use the restroom! I couldn't tell what line was for the concessions and what line was for the MENS restroom! Ladies! That made me happy! *Oh there was NO line for the womens restroom at that time!

No smiles before the game! My husband just loves pictures!

I love the band! Final score

No, we didn't storm the field! (not this time!)

Ahh! I get a smile! My husband is ready to smile after that stunning win!
