Freezing Football Finale II

Our trip to Vegas didn't end as well as it started.   Tyler's team lost for the first time THE ENTIRE SEASON!  So Sad!  I don't really know much about football, but the thinking goes that our team had more skill, and we should have won.   Between our team not being on top of its game (we played a really hard game the day before), and some bad calls by the referees we just couldn't pull it together.

Our first game on Friday was against a team from Taylorsville, Utah.  They played a great game but we were able to pull off a win against them.  Derek said it was one of the best coached teams we played.  And ps. they had awesome sportsmanship.  As I was watching the game, I wondered if this is what it is like every time you play football in Utah.  Those boys on opposing teams would smash each other, and then take turns helping each other up and giving pats on the back.  (Our boys are really great too, you just don't usually have two teams with the same level of sportsmanship.)   It is so fun to play a team like that, you want both teams to win.

The best part of all these games though, was watching Tyler play.  He is awesome!  Once again, I don't know football, but I know when Tyler plays well and he did such a good job.  I was a proud mom!  He made some plays that could've been game changers during the second game.  It was so fun!!! 

And the other fun thing was I was able to see Rachel, Matt and kids.  They drove the two hours from Cedar to watch Tyler's game. I haven't seen Rachel in forever but we were sitting there like we ate dinner together the day before and this is just what we do on a regular basis.  That is always how it is with "best friends," you can always pick up where you left off.  I feel that way about my sisters.  I am so blessed!  Just wish we all lived closer...

It was hard to decide to go, but I am happy I did.  The cost wasn't as steep as we were afraid it would be.  We were thinking we would need to entertain children, but there was really only enough time for football!  One more game this Saturday and we are DONE!

Now that I'm home, it's onto Christmas projects!  Busy, Busy, Busy...  (But super fun!)  Love you all!
