Last night Darin got to cash in on one of the Christmas presents I gave him. I felt very proud of myself for knowing that there would be a BYU vs. AF basketball game in January that I could buy tickets for. I decided back in early December that it would be fun for the whole family. The Cougars took the lead immediately, and never fell behind the whole game. In fact, we heard that it was the largest defeat Air Force has faced at home since something like 1999.
Of course, as Darin left the office yesterday he's boss stopped to ask him who he would be rooting for. Darin replied, "I have to go with the Cougars." To which his boss replied, "Just don't forget who will be writing your retirement check Darin." Was that a threat? We had Henry sporting his sweatshirt. We will never forget from whence we came!
The girls enjoyed the popcorn, cotton candy, $1 hot dogs, and funnel cake. Basketball game, what basketball game? For all they knew, we were at a very loud restaurant.
Then in the middle of the night, Henry got sick. Since we got home so late, and he was maybe sick, I didn't make him go to school, so then George started "coughing" and suggested that he better stay home too. Then as I was making Ruby's bed, she told me she needed her "milkshake" that she made yesterday at the gym, because she was so tired and needed to get back in bed with a milkshake (all tuckered out after watching me clean her room. It really can wipe you out to watch someone else work so hard!). I am proud that I am raising these kids right. When all else fails, climb back in bed with a milkshake, pull the covers up and start over tomorrow. As my sisters would say, we are "heads down" today. But proud as pie about our Cougars!

Oh, how I can relate.
Looks like you get about as good of seats as us when you go to these sporting events. Maybe they got sick from oxygen deprivation.
Love ya blue! Way to raise your kids with cougar pride. And milkshakes in bed, why didn't I think of that? Ruby is a smart girl.
Way to root for the right shade of blue! But I wonder- had Darin changed his mind for his boss, could he have used Korea as leverage?
Where's the rest of the crowd? It looks a bit lonely on your row. Sounds like a fun event. Way to plan ahead!
That's funny. That's what Darin said about that picture. I hadn't noticed, but he said it looks like we were at the game alone. We weren't.
A really loud restaurant. That is so funny. I would love to get a milkshake and climb back into bed! I'll have to try that sometime.
That would have been a fun game to go to. I'm glad BYU won. Jane and Ruby remind me of how I felt about going to games as a little girl (and even until fairly recently). Those girls crack me up! It seems like they love to liven things up a bit whenever they can.
