RISE & SHOUT! THE COUGARS ARE NOT BACK OUT!!!

This is me with my cousin, Kellie. Kellie lives in Jacksonville, Florida, and came out to attend the BYU - Florida State game.


After 17 years of sitting in Portal GG Section 123 Row 26 Seats 1 & 2...my foot and knee said it was time for a change. My new seats are Portal GG Section 122 Row 7 Seats 22 & 23



Max Hall is ready to score.


The players congratulate Harvey Unga on a touchdown!


Mitch Payne kicks the extra point.


My cousin said that the men always accompanying Coach Bobby Bowden were 3 Florida State Troopers! I think Bobby Bowden is bigger than the FSU program! (Michael Jordan would only have 1 bodyguard with him!

CLEAR CREEK 2009

CLEAR CREEK
Clear Creek is a camp owned by the Alpine School District between Scofield Reservoir, and the towns of Scofield and Clear Creek. It is about 100 minutes from Alpine. In 1900, a huge mine explosion happened near Scofield. Today, there is a huge boy scout camp near the reservoir. We spent September 14 & 15 down there! Thanks to our chaperones: Tonya Ahlstrom, Emily Gibb, and Joseph Moffat. An extra special thanks to Mr. Stephenson, who is always willing to come, and to Mrs. Hoover, who does the shopping for us!
