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!

Our principal... 

Jordan and Andrew

The Ball Boy

Beehive Bowl 

SUU vs Weber State

Oct. 17, 2017

 Jaxson came with me this year.

 We of course cheered on the ball boy. 

 It was a super fun game, not as fun as the last time SUU came to Ogden but still.

Weber State Vs. Montana

Oct. 28, 2017

Dad had tickets. Free food at the tailgate. 2 super excited girls who wanted to watch "papa play ball boy".

Madison was all about the fox face paint.  Elise wanted NOTHING to do with it.

Both girls didn't want anything to do with the bouncy houses either which was weird. 

 Hamburgers, hot dogs, and pizza. Plus chips and drinks.

Hey if that's what Weber feels like they need to do to fill seats... I'm in (with free tickets thou..)

 What does the fox say?

Nothing. It's eating.

 Elise was so excited to have a purple drink that matched her shirt and hair clips. 

 Elise finally decided she wanted to cat tattoo from the face painting girls. 

 Anytime the wildcat mascot came by, Elise hid under my legs/seat. Madison would high-5 him and things but Elise just wanted to play this game. 

 We stayed only until half-time but the girls had a lot of fun looking for grandpa and waving.  They even got a cup of poweraid from dad from the sideline, they thought it was pretty awesome. 

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.
