Le Sportin' Events

Hockey x2!

March 2 Amy and Dave joined me and then again on March 23

March 16 BYU vs SUU softball
It's become a tradition for Madison to come with me now. Although SUU lost both games, we still had a great time.

Of course.. the infamous "Cougar Tail"

 It was "Millennials" night so there was a bunch of funny booths set up around the complex.

We ran into the same cancer survivor lady as last time, and she gave us some "Sherrie's Smiles" to keep in our pockets, and whenever we feel blue, we could look at them and remember that someone somewhere cares.

March 24

Golden West 5k

I went early and got my miles in so I could walk with Elise while everyone else ran. This year Elise wanted to "run" and she only needed a piggy back ride once to rest her legs so she could run fast at the end.

My running buddy!

April 2016

The Month of April

 Took Madison to the BYU vs SUU softball game.  It was her first ball game, first time on BYU campus, first time "catching" a foul ball, and her first Cougar Tail.
They traded us the game ball for a new ball, she was very adamant about not letting Jordan have it.

 Cougar Tail = One GIANT Maple Doughnut.

She ATE IT ALL! Ok I had a few bites.  I totally didn't think she was going to eat that much! I expected to take 3/4 back home to share with brothers. Nope. Didn't happen. She also ate a cougar dog (regular hot dog that she said was just like Sam's Club).

 The sun was in our eyes so we have to improvise some.

Jaxson played hid n seek at soccer games..

It's track season so of course that means rain at almost every meet..

But there were some in the sun.. and homework being done..

Went hiking to Ogden Overlook for Earth day.. then a tasty BBQ afterwards at Jessica's house.

Frieda and Andrea..

New hiking poles!

Ragnar's new favorite spot at my parents...

And lightening storms means lots of snuggling with stuffys since she's not allowed on the couches.. 

Meeting Chris Wingert.. take 2! No legs cramping up and making me fall down this time!

My friend Lisa came with too, she was blushing hard core!

Day trip out to The Jetty because Derek wanted to do a time-lapse but it was so windy he didn't get much.. Ragnar had the best time ever so it was worth it.

In case you're at a 4-way stop..

T-Birds and Cougars

My dad hooked us up again with football tickets..

This time it was Southern Utah vs. Weber State.

Bonus: SUU's alumni association did a free tailgate party.. totally hit that up!

My friend Deidra even came up to Ogden to watch our T-birds kick some butt!

It was a little shaky at first but SUU managed to pull out the win.. 27-21.  It was a great game to watch and my dad was so cute in his lil ball-boy get-up :)

Poor Weber State.. they had less fans there than SUU!

Btw: SUU made it to NCAA Division I Playoffs.  However they played last year's runner up and lost :( hopefully next year they'll use that experience to their advantage!

We also went to the BYU homecoming game vs. Georgia Tech for Derek's birthday

It was so much fun! However I expected GT to play harder than what they did..

and man was Hill on fire that night! It's never a dull game watching the Cougars play!
