Oooooh, our BYU team is doing GREAT this year!!!
So great, in fact, that I was totally inspired to make this cute little fellow right here.
In case you aren’t from around these parts…
and don’t recognize…
this dude…
his name is COSMO!!
Go BYU!!
Go to my Gracious Rain Shop on Esty to find this and other awesome stuff!
Dane, Kortney and Merrick went to the BYU game tonight and I got to tend the other little ones.
It was pretty quiet because they were in bed when I got there. It was so quiet that I started texting Chomp who was tending Jillian’s kids–for the same game.
Then this sweet little thing got up saying she didn’t feel good so she slept down here by me.
Being a Grammy is pretty dang awesome. I’m soooo lucky.
Such sweet kids…all of them.
I haven’t been to a BYU game in a million years!
We had great seats but oh myyyyyy were they ever high up at the top of about a million stairs!
Dane even got a CougarTail…
which he was pretty excited about!
Don’t worry–he shared with all of us!
It doesn’t show so much here but it was a very bright…
very sunny day and we were pretty dang excited when the sun…
finally, finally went down behind the front stadium.
Ahhhhhh–
at last we could watch the game without shading our eyes from the glare.
On top of the great football loving company–we even WON!!
Go COUGARS!!!
When my Daney-boy told me that he was taking is sweet little family to Boston–AND to his first actual Patriot’s game–well, I knew something special was in order. I grabbed the appropriate colors of my favorite Caron yarn and got to work. With three different patterns and some embroidered patches from Ebay, Papa Bear, Mama Bear and Baby Bear had some awesome new hats for the special day.
As you can see–they were a hit!!
Of course the Patriot’s did their part too and put on an unforgettable show right where my boy could see it, up close. Good job, Tom Brady!

“Take family to Patriot’s game–”
check.
Happiness–
double check.
Having been around a little bit of football in my day, it must be concluded that…
Superbowl is a pretty big deal in these parts.
Such a big deal in fact, that once the people started arriving and the food was spread out, I stopped taking pictures, because, well because I was watching the game.
But this was a very interesting year because we are across the board–big Patriots fans.
But there are a few among us who adore the Seahawks too. And that’s perfect.
Then of course, we have the Viking fans…
and the BYU fans all mixed up in one room. But it was after all, football and seriously, for people like us, no matter what the colors…
that’s enough.
