Are you ready for some Football???

We went to the Utes football game last night and it was an absolute blast! It was the very first college football game for me and Sadie. We got tickets to five home games this year and we have pretty good seats. Last year, our neighborhood would turn into a sea of red whenever there was a game and we wanted to get in on the action this year.
Sadie thought it was awesome that HER school was playing and was constantly yelling, "Go Utes." She LOVED the marching band and spent most of her time dancing around. I think the majority of people around us were laughing at her instead of watching the game.
It was a beautiful night for a football game and our Utes WON!

Walking to the game...

Speaking of football...Charlie and I are super excited for our little vacation to Chicago in December to see the Chicago Bears play at Soldier Field! Charlie is a die hard Bears fan and I wanted to do something fun and unique for his 30th birthday. It was supposed to be a surprise but I couldnt contain my excitement and when the tickets came I told Charlie to get his bags packed! The look on his face was priceless, I wish I had a picture of it.

A Week of Firsts

Well, school is back in full swing! All three of us started school last week and it looks like it will be a very busy semester. Sadie is going to the U of U preschool and she thinks it is pretty cool that she goes to the same school as daddy. Her teacher, Ms. Tammy is fabulous and Sadie and her have become quick friends. I expected her to be a bit timid the first day, but she walked right in. She told me to give her a kiss and go home! It was awesome, the other parents just laughed. It is a great program and we are glad Sadie gets to be a part of it.


Last week, we also took a trip to Reno and Lake Tahoe to visit Aunt Judy and Uncle Boe. It was so much fun! It was our first time at Lake Tahoe and it was beautiful. Sadie went on her first boat ride and LOVED it. It was wonderful to relax and have some fun in the sun. Aunt Judy and Uncle Boe have a little dog named Sassy and Sadie was obsessed with the poor thing, she was constantly holding her and taking her for walks. She wanted to take Sassy home but we had to leave her back in Reno. We might have to start a tradition of going to Tahoe every summer!!!
