Last night, Joshua participated in the colorguard ceremony for the BYU versus Utah basketball game. He did a great job and looked very serious (from what I could tell from the very top of the marriott center). I got this great picture with my fantastic zoom lens (okay, so its a little fuzzy, he is the one holding the blue flag). I am so proud of him for being willing to serve his country and when he wears his uniform, I am reminded of what a great heart he has and love for America. I am constantly amazed when we go out in public and people shake his hand, thank him, ask him questions and sometimes even hug him! Americans really are grateful for the men and women that make our freedom possible. I am especially grateful for those men and women that are overseas fighting and for their families that are left home.
The basketball game was great!! BYU won!!!!!!!!! Joshua and I took Treston and left the other kiddos with a babysitter. Treston slept through most of the game thanks to some really great earplugs (thank you Dustin!). Our seats were way up high in the nosebleeds, but after half time, we joined Dustin down near the bottom. We couldn't believe how much more fun the game was down there!! The arena was so loud that my ears hurt for a couple hours after the game! Now that is fun!

Joshua should be proud! That was great to see him participate. I only wish I had been there at the game with Nick! I would have screamed out his name or something. Or wait that would be somewhat inappropriate huh? Yay go cougs!
How great that you guys got the go to the game!
I have to admit, I'm one of those people that I'm sure bugs the crap out of our military men and women when they are in uniform. I always try to keep it breif and try not to embarrass them by getting too emotional. Though I can't say I always succeed! I just know how much I love my country, am constantly amazed at how much they must love it to volenteer to take care of it at the possibility of such great sacrifice.
And since I know Josh a little better than a complete stranger... give him a HUGE hug for me... and a HUGE thanks as well. I truely do love our volenteer miltary men and women!
