We have had a little friendly dispute this football season with our neighbors who are huge Ute fans. They have had a Ute flag hanging up every game day off their back porch so it is framed perfectly in our family room window. Needless to say, this does not settle well with our boys. Garrett has left numerous letters for our friends at their door and Bryson has thrown water balloons at their flag.
So, on the biggest duel of the season, we both went all out. Paul and I stayed up until 1:oo a.m. decorating our neighbor's home. It was awesome! My favorite was the poster I made for the front door that had a big "Y" and said "Y fans live here". There was blue everywhere - spray painted grass, duct tape Y's on everything, sidewalk chalk, Y stakes all in their yard, and a big sign on their garage door. I made Paul go take the camera out early Saturday morning, but they had already taken everything down, and this is what we found at our house.
I told Paul I woke up with butterflies in my stomach for the game. We were asked to host a Elder's Quorom party at our house to watch the game. So while all the Elder's watched the game downstairs, my parents, Ryan and Karen, and the boys and I watched it upstairs. We had a really fun party, but were all greatly disappointed. My boys were very upset. Bryson doesn't want to go to school on Monday and face all of his peers. Garrett wanted to rip all of his BYU t-shirts and told me he doesn't want to go to BYU anymore. The saying, "Its just a game" doesn't work at our house.

"I don't want to go to BYU anymore..." HILARIOUS! We watched the game with friends, and out of about 30 people, 2 were Ute fans. Apparently I was giving them looks to kill when they cheered for the the Utes. Oops.
Game was ridiculous! It was fun to come up though. Max Hall: Utah's MVP!
Your house is always a busy place on BYU game days. But with all the Elders Quorum in the basement and the rest of the family upstairs, well it gave a new meaning to busy. By the way, Angela did you ever get the red pop out of the carpet? Was that really an accident?
