Uncle Adam and BYU football game

We haven't seen Adam since we went up to Rexburg in February. He found a ride with two girls who were coming down for the BYU football game. I am so glad he came - it was great to see him even if it wasn't for long enough. He came Friday night and spent the night with Dallin & Allyson. Then they brought him to our house Saturday afternoon right before we had to leave for the game.
Luckily we got 4 tickets this year so Adam came with Byron, Tanner & I. The level of excitement for the first home game was very high. It was fun attending the pre-game show and getting some free things including a piece of pizza.
Before we went up to our seats, we went to a lower area to look at the field. We were so close and could see Max Hall (#15) out practicing with the team. Tanner and Byron were especially excited to see him.
Tanner - my big BYU fan! Tanner is fun to go to games with because he is so into them. He has such an amazing understanding of football also. He definitely puts me to shame when it comes to knowing what is going on. He also isn't asking for food the whole time like most of my children are when they attend a game.

Lavell Edwards was at the game - I was able to zoom in with my camera and get a pretty shot.
It was fun to have Jeff get season tickets right behind us this year. He brought Alyssa with him. She was so cute enjoying every aspect of the game.

The game was a complete disaster. Not a great first home game. BYU broke the 18 home game winning streak. The ending score was 28-54 (Florida State). There is nothing like the cool atmosphere that comes with attending games at Lavell Edward's Stadium, though. Being around so many die hard BYU fans is amazing!
Sunday morning we had fun spending time with Adam before he left to go back to BYU-Idaho. Bradley is so funny - he gets so nervous around new people at first. For some reason he was nervous to get near his Uncle Adam for the 30 minutes or so on Saturday when he came. Then on Sunday after he woke up it took him about 30 more minutes to get himself used to him again. He kept on telling Adam, "You freak me out." I got such a good laugh at this. He finally couldn't keep his uncle out of his sight and was practically following him into the bathroom.

Here are some fun pictures taken before we left.

I'm so glad that Adam was able to go with the three of you. He really enjoyed it. It was sad that it was such a sad game.
Your Dad will love seeing your pictures.

We miss the times that we had season tickets together. It was so much fun. Looks like you had fun with Adam. Bradley is so funny, I can picture him saying that to him.

That is one of the reasons I really miss Utah. The BYU games are always so much fun!
