Do you know why I love football season? Because every year we have to go over stats, plays, downs, punts...whatever else there is... of many a favorite game of Tom's. The glory days in highschool football; we talk about (he talks about) going to BYU games with his dad and grandpa. How they sit in the nose bleed section. How Dad and Grandpa always walk so fast Tom had to run just to keep up. How Tom always got a meatball sub from subway. How they had to yell at the bad calls, cheer for the wins, and annalyze every move of each player, correct the coach on what he should have done...all the way home to Richfield. Then we size up college teams for the current season,talk about conferences and western this - and I can't remember that. Then we have to plan out the Ward Turkey Bowl Tom so faithfully has carried out for two years now...
AND this year it got a whole lot better. Tom has taught Paul to catch the football, to run and to tackle. Paul is a estatic about the whole thing. Paul has to cheer and Boo and go nuts when we TOUCH DOWN! at any of the games we watch on the internet. So this year the fam got to go to our first "LIVE" game together. Owls vs. Army. Paul sat on Tom's lap the entire time, except during half time. It was the funnest mommy moment. My two boys being boys (and enjoying their cheese fries). And Lyd and I are there for the band and the food. What a fun thing to do.
It looks like you guys were the only spectators. What a fun time. Last Sunday when our guys were gone, I found myself turning on a football game, just so it would seem a little more normal.
