Rise and Shout

On Saturday we watched the BYU vs. UCLA game. The day opened with a rousing family chorus of the Cougar fight song (complete with ra ra ra's). London wore her BYU cheerleader outfit and I wish I had taken a picture, but we still have the rest of the season for that. Tim finally found the time to put the license plate on our car with our newly purchased BYU Alumni license plate holder, lest anyone question our loyalties. Anyway, London is following in her mommy's footsteps and is going to be a GREAT cheerleader! She was great at clapping and holding up her arms in fists and saying "Go Cougars!" but it really sounded more like "Go Cookies!" She's following in her dad's footsteps and has taken a liking to black licorice. She kept begging for it all through the game and throwing major tantrums if she didn't get it! Oh dear. Anyway, for those of you who saw the game, I hope you agree that although the Cougs lost we feel they put up a really decent fight. With so many poor calls even on play reviews, you wonder if the ref's were paid off! Tim says he's more confident about this year's team after this game than the AZ game despite the loss, just because we played so well and got plenty of yardage. We'll definitely whoop 'em next year in Provo.

"Go Cookies!" Yeah! So cute! Yeah, I know all about the temper tantrums when they don't get what they want. Mine have learned that if they squirt real tears it does well to plead their case. It sometimes works to get me to stay in nursery a little while longer!

Glad that you had a good time at the game and London is being brough up in the Cardall way...

I still have nightmares from waking up to "Rise and shout" every morning for seminary.

Easy there on the AZ comment. . . . we are big UofA fans. I think it is in Garrett's family's blood. That game was horrible, and actually, UofA's football team is horrible! London is ADORABLE!!!
