Rise and shine the Cougars are out!

Henry woke up Friday morning and said "What day is it?" before I could answer he said, "GAME DAY!!" He was pumped and ready from the moment he woke up. He wore his Utah State uniform to school, and pretended that the bus was the 'team bus' that day :) After he got home from school, it was prep time!!! Harrison, was ready to wear his official game day shirt. And Henry was excited to get his face painted, he chose to have QB #12 on his face. I asked him why 12? he said ,"because mom, Borel is my boy!" lol and because last time he did that they won. SO after all the preparation and packed bags, we were on our way into Logan. First we had to make a quick stop to the Budge and the boys received their immunizations :( After the shots came the Ibuprofen, then we headed to the stadium.
It had been a long and dreary 17 years since the Aggies last defeated the boys from Provo. But, would history repeat itself?? We arrived at the stadium early to ensure "our seat." (where my fam always sits and the Vanluewens ;) My moms sister Susan and husband Benny came up from Utah County, they had come to cheer for......the Aggies. Of course, or they WOULD have sat elsewhere ;) The game had a slow start, then Borel hit Martin on a 79 yd touchdown pass and the route WAS ON!!! It was great. The offense was running on all cylinders and the defense was alive and well!!!! It was AWESOME. We also saw the Cooleys at the game seated not too far from us. They cheered for USU also. Which is great! I do believe that it was a game time decision for one of them though, which team they would cheer for. In the end Mckenzie made the right choice and dawned the TRUE BLUE...USU!!! Way to choose :) The boys were both great at the game. And after the game Henry went down on the field with Grandpa and Grandma and saw some of the players. One guy he saw was Tai Wesley, he picked Henry up and put him on his shoulders and told him to show everyone who was #1. He also got a picture of Aubry she is one of Jeffs friends who is an Aggiette. It was a good day!! Way to go AGGIES :)

My dad sent me some pictures of Jeff today, and I was so excited to get them. I wanted to post them on here to let you all who know him, see that he is doing AWESOME and what a strapping young man or man he is becoming. I love my little bro we have always been pretty close. I am thankful for the strength and example he is to me and my boys :) Enjoy the pics ;) I will post pics of him every now and then! He has been out in the field now for almost 9 months in a way it has flown by (if you say that in front of my mother, take a step back right after:) lol!!

Utah State hey Aggies all the way...Go Aggies, Go Aggies hey hey hey!!!

We went to our first Aggie game of the season last Saturday, courtesy of an early birthday present for Henry and I from Grandma and Grandpa. It was a fun game to watch and if you ask Henry, Borel had a great game because Henry had his number on his face. lol Henry was your typical boy at a game, he watched and cheered, ran around a little (with the VanLeuwen boys) and he even ate a hot dog. Believe it or not Harrison, was good and sat the whole game, and ate popcorn :), he would yell, cheer, and threw his arms in the air and say "Uhtdow" (touchdown) when the Aggies scored. Plus, it was AWESOME attendance 17,500 woohoo amazing environment. We are planning on going to the Fresno game tomorrow, so we will let ya know how that goes!! We BELIEVE!!
