Go Cougars!

If you follow BYU football, you might have heard about their countdown to game day (search #BYU50 on Facebook).  For the 50 days leading up to kickoff, a box of BYU football goodies is hidden in each state.  A picture of the box in a certain location is posted every day.  First person to make it to the box wins it.
So Andy has been following the progress of this countdown, and waiting for Ohio's turn (they are going through the states alphabetically).
Yesterday was Ohio's turn!  Andy was at work when the picture was posted.  The big blue box with the "Y" logo was in front of the Arnold statue... just a few blocks from Andy's work!  Guess what?!  He was the first one there!
I was at the elementary open house when Andy found the box.  He called to tell me the good news.  I thought he was joking at first.  Nope.  He came straight to the school.  
When we got home, we opened the box and checked out the fun stuff... there was a jersey, t-shirt, stickers, license plate frame, end zone pylon, a football signed by all the great BYU quarterbacks, a bag, sunglasses, coupons, posters...
I'm not gonna lie... the kids were a little disappointed.  They were hoping for candy and stuffed animals.
(I was hoping for four scholarships.)

 And so we donned our most festive true blue attire and had a little family photo shoot with our box of stuff...


Our littlest Cougar even has blue eyes!  That is TRUE BLUE!

We made some awesome cheer formations!  Go Cougars!

This season is so bright... gotta wear shades!

Touchdown!


Rise and shout the Cougars are out!


What do you think?  Is this a Christmas card photo or what?!

Thanks BYU Football for the box of fun stuff!  Go Cougars!
