ADDIE'S 1ST BYU FOOTBALL GAME


I love taking my great nieces and nephews to
BYU football games, as I did all of their parents!
But, it's always soooo fun when they get
to go to their very first game with Auntie Ann!

I have to be in the handicap parking 90 minutes
before they open the gates, to have a parking spot!
(Thank you, Charcot Foot)
I just walk across the street, and I am by my portal.
Everybody brings something to read or do.
A lot of time is spent people watching.
Also, a highlight is watching the 3 or 4 buses
that dropped off the visiting teams do a U-turn!

It was Addie's very first BYU football game!
She is 7 years old, and in the 2nd grade.
BYU was playing San José State, the worst team in the country!
It was a daytime game on October 28.

I had a great project for her to do while we waited!
My mom always gives every grandchild and great grandchild
a toothbrush and toothpaste for Halloween!
Tradition!
Addie wrote everyone's name on a baggie,
put a toothbrush in a toothbrush holder, and
put them, plus toothpaste, in the baggie!
We now have 32 people in our family!!!
(I grew up in a family of 4)





Not sure why #4 Taysom Hill was here, but, oh well.

I always get the child a tee shirt and a souvenir.
(Addie is a fan of loose clothing)

Who knew there was a BYU "Hello Kitty!"

Game time



That nut job man that has sat in front of me for
3 years, never showed up!  Yay for putting the feet up!!!




This year, I almost forgot what these flags were for!
They are run around the stadium every time BYU scores!
All the other years, the runners are so tired from
all the scores BYU makes!

Losing season or not, you can't beat this view!!!




Addie put up the wrong finger.
It was win #2, not #1!!!
Her sister, Jaycie, went with her dad to the first game
where they saw win #1.
(I had a state board meeting for ADK.  And, since I'm the
state president, I had to be there.  Who knew
we would have a daytime game that early in the season!)

I never realized what a big head Hello Kitty has!!!



After the game, we went to visit my buddy, Carter.
He had gotten in a bad bike crash!
(He lives by Addie, and they are in the same class at school)
We took him a chocolate frosty.

MY BLOG ADVISOR HAD A BABY


I have a "Blog Advisor"
CaLea Bagley Gunther.
She helped me to start my class blog in 2008.
She was only 13 1/2!
We were in the same ward.  Her dad was the bishop
when I first went to the temple.
When her mom was Primary President, I was her secretary.
Sometimes I stayed overnight with the 8 kids
when their parents went out of town.
CaLea has helped me with my blog off and on since 2008!


In the beginning of my class blog.

A mission to South Korea, Seoul.


Taking Sister Bagley to do a session at the Ogden Temple.
This was a time during her mission when she was
released and came home for 3 months, because she had been sooo ill.
You always want to recover in the US!
She was able to go back and finish her mission.

Marriage to her junior high and high school sweetheart.
October 16, 2015

Taylor and CaLea have traveled A LOT in their
two years of marriage!
They have even visited Taylor's mission in Norway,
and CaLea's mission in South Korea!
And, yes, CaLea served in Gangnam, Korea.
This is a tribute to the song,
"Gangnum Style!"

CaLea gave birth to Billie Rose Gunther on Friday, October 20.
She was holding out for my birthday on the 26th,
but didn't quite make it.
Her younger sister, Jade, was married on
Friday, the 13th.  
One week before the baby came!

1st time daddy.
Taylor, aka . . . Teegunth

This is one gorgeous baby!
