Quote of the Day, part XLIV

Me, during Family Home Evening: "How can we repent of 'persecuting your brother'?"
William: "Pick me! I just barely did it!"

Jacob, when I showed him the twin coverlet I had purchased for his bed right before we moved:
"I like that. Whoa, wait! Are we really going to get beds that big?"
Me, thinking that this boy has been sleeping on a camping cot on the floor for entirely too long.
This move didn't come a day too early!

SURPRISE!

What do this,

this,

this,

and this
have in common?

This!

Anna:  Oh yes, we did!  Michael's Valentine's Day surprise for me was postponed until July. We weren't quite sure what to expect.  The pre-event picture captures the 'not quite so sure about this' sentiments.  The event picture (though somewhat unscrupulous historically) reflects the varying enthusiasm felt by all.  The post-event picture didn't quite happen as someone was feeling a little queasy.

Michael:  I get sick reading in a parked car!  Apparently the guy on my back thought it would be fun to swing horizontal to the ground a few times.  It didn't help that Anna was squealing for more somersaults above me.  Wheeeeeee.  I nearly lost my lunch.  But check it off the bucket list.  We are bona fide skydiver... novices.

LaVell

I know I'm totally annoying, and it took this poor man 30 minutes to walk 5 yards, but what can you expect when you're a legend?  I HAD to seize the opportunity when it presented itself!  How cool is this?!
He was very gracious and even smiled at me.  I felt quite special!

I just stole all my thunder.  That was the climax of this post.  Well, here's the skinny: MJ, Jake, Isaac, me and a host of friends and family joined to cheer the Big Blue for the BYU/OSU game.  Excuse me, Andrew, most of us cheered for the Y.  It began with a killer tailgate party, then 3 hours of crazy screaming and cheering (in our family you are a lightweight if your voice isn't gone by the end of the game), getting ourselves
acknowledged by the game commentators on TV, "Wow, do you hear those BYU fans?  They're really going crazy...oh!  What's this? False start for OSU?  Oh that'll be a crippling penalty!  And for the third down, incomplete...well, that might be the game for OSU.  I guess we'll see if they can come back from this, they're running out of time..." etc.  We like to think we had a hand in the outcome.

At one point in the game, Cosmo was smelling enthusiasm from our corner and came and plopped down right next to MJ who put his arm around the famous cougar.  All the kids got to take pictures, give him high-fives and touch his tail.

Another fun moment was visiting with my little bro Andrew in the OSU red-shirt team section just as the second half was starting.  I got a lot of dirty looks from a lot of big scary football players, but he hugged me and introduced me all the same.  I sure like this brother of mine!  I sure like this team of our's! 

GO BYU!
