The boy's football season comes to an end

First of all....Welcome Mr. Winter!! We went from a unusually warm Halloween night, to snow the next day (that's Utah for you! :}). And, for the last game of the season, we woke up to plenty! I can't complain since we've had beautiful football weather so far! Kaley here still wasn't sure how excited she was to be out in the cold! :}
Well, throwing snowballs helps! :}
"I'll keep you warm Boo Boo!" :}
This was the beginning of the playoffs, game against Toole, who we lost to earlier in the season, so we were anxious to try & beat them this time!
Cheering our boys on
The Halftime Rally
Back to the business at hand....
It was a tough game & more than frustrating with terrible reffing. I'm not one to blame it on the refs. Sure there's things we could have done better; but, this was just blatant & I felt  bad that's how the season had to end. Especially when we lose by 6  after a touchdown gets taken away for bogus reasons. But, what can you do? Still just a game in the end & we're very proud of how much better our boys did this year! They really stepped up...watch out for them next year! :} Meanwhile, back at home, our poor trees were feeling the shock of the heavy wet snow.....
And luckily there was enough snow for Daddy & Kaley to build the 1st snowman of the year! :}
I'm not sure I'm ready for another long winter...let's hope it's not as bad as last year! But, let's admit, it is still pretty to see (just much nicer from inside when you're bundled up all nice & warm! :})

Finally getting back to UTAH FOOTBALL!

I was anxious to finally get to a U of U game after missing a few while being down! (Well, I did catch part of the 1st one; but, that doesn't really count since I had to wait for Bradon to finish his game & it was the 3rd Quarter by the time we got there! :}) And also glad I could finally make it to the tailgate party (we tend to miss most of them every year due to conflicts with the boys football games). You have to love the thrill & excitement in the air in a tailgate lot! (and enjoy people-watching all the crazies!...or maybe we are the crazies? Hummm......:}). Just glad I could enjoy some Utah fun with my partner in crime, Tina! :}
Nice to have buddy, Marcus, and his brother, Jake, join us for some tailgating fun too! :}
And love that Deanna & Dick got season tickets this year too! :}
Jello anyone?! :}
Rob being his pirate self for some Halloween fun
Ahoy Matey!
Game time!
My handsome boys! Umm Dylan, the hat's kind of big for you.....just sayin'! :}
Randy thought the hat was too entertaining not to purchase it! :}
GO UTES!!
Since it was Halloween weekend, there were a few interesting fans...like Dumb & Dumber here! :}
..or Hellraiser!
The Utes were playing strong all game!
This was the Black Out game...hence the reason you don't see the normal "Sea of Red"
Getting silly with the squishy face pictures with our Football Neighbors
The VERY soon to be new Mommy & Daddy, Ryan & Katie (Baby Kya was born this past week :}).
The Utes continue to rock the game!
Other work buddy, Erik, finally made it too! :}
A couple of the many times our awesome Defense held Oregon State back
Dylan & friends getting silly with the crowd
Give me a U! (love our other neighbors behind the boys giving them the rabbit ears :})
We win 27-8! The flags are flying proudly!
Getting in a little more tailgating fun before we head home
Tony getting a hold of my camera..ok, that's just freaky! :}
All right, only 3 more games left in the season. Though we hoped to start out our 1st year in the Pac 12 better than we have, we still love our Utes just the same. Right now they are 5-4. Let's finish off the season with a bang boys!! :}
