The Fun of Football Season Continues On.....

We have been very fortunate to have great football weather so far this season! You never know here in Utah! And this was a perfect game in that great weather....the only 2 undefeated teams left in the Juniors League, Our Granger Boys against Hillcrest. And, just as we thought, it was a tough, well fought game!  
"C'mon boys..only 1 more quarter to go, you can do it!"
And we pull off the Win, 28-20! Way to go boys!! :}
Next was the Midgets turn to get a W! 
Gotta luv it when they all do the Granger Chant
This past weekend we weren't as fortunate with the weather. As a matter of fact, Mother Nature didn't cooperate what-so-ever! So no, I don't have pics (I don't need help ruining my camera! :})...but, yea, let's just say it was a VERY long, cold, wet day!! But, you can't let the rain stop you either, right? :} Bradon's game started with a downpour, pretty much didn't stop until 4th Quarter. So, made for an interesting, and somewhat sloppy, game. Still got the win, so they remain as the only undefeated team in their division! One more week in the regular season to go, and playoffs here we come!! (if only it wasn't the exact same day as the big Utes game of the year against TCU! Hope they play early!! :}). The Midgets.....well, yea, just a miserable day for everyone to be outside at all. They were not so lucky! And unfortunately an injury delayed their game another 40 or so minutes (didn't help the whole....need to get to the Utes game thing!). And the kid is OK, appears concussion! :( The poor boys were just soaked from being out in it all day....but, again, you CAN'T miss the Utes game either!! Especially since Kaley was amongst the many cute girls on field, dancing at half time. Only problem.....Kaley's dance ticket was with someone else, of who I couldn't find due to leaving my phone in the car (on the other side of campus!). After Kaley & I walked in the pouring rain for pretty much the whole 1st half trying to find them in the tailgate lot (see why I ALWAYS need my phone!), a good man saved the day by hearing us tell our story to some friends we saw along the way...and having an extra ticket from their friend who decided not to rough it in the rain. God Bless his soul for saving the day...may good karma come his way! So, anyway, never found them until after; but, we got in (still have no idea where they were sitting), just went to the tunnel with just over 3 or so minutes left before half time. Then the rain finally stopped & the sun came out. Amazingly, despite the fiasco it took to get there, we made it....and we survived! And despite miles of walking in the rain, underneath she was dry & still had a smile on her face! :}
"Yea, I'm cute!" :}
She was excited to meet up with her newest friend that she had met during the practice.
Instantly being silly girls & squishing & pulling silly faces! :}
It was time to get on the field & let the show begin!
It was pretty cool to be right down there on the field! Can't wait to go down there again after the Utes beat TCU! :} Oh yea, I said that...and oh yea, we WILL be down there after! :}

I was so glad the rain had stopped for them! (and the rest of us!)
Some of the older girls who got to join the fun.
Great job girls, you did it!!
And great job Marching Band! :}
Hey, how about I finally watch some football now! :}

As they bring Colorado State down!
UTES!! Yea, they ROCK!
This was a cool view, once we saw a little bit of sunlight, as it was going down. But, seeing snow on the top of those mountains is not something I'm real excited about! I guess if it could just stay up there maybe! :}
Moses got to get Kaley's extra ticket this time, since she also got one with the dance company (if only we knew we were still going to need it, ha ha! No, really...glad he could go! :}) Ha Ha...it looks like the poles are coming out of their heads in this picture! :}
Dylan, still drying off & in his football uniform underneath since they ended up having to come right from his game.
Doug & Randy happy to see I finally made it to the seats  by the 3rd Quarter! :}
"Give me a U! Hey Dylan, I said....." :}
And the Utes win again.....59-6!! They are ON FIRE this year. It is a FABULOUS time to be a UTES FAN...give me a HOLLA!! :}
