Football and family

Our past weekend consisted of football and family time!
A perfect combination if you ask me! It would have been even better if we could have won our football game against Cyprus. Oh well we had a lot of fun anyway.
When I take Grayson to the games with me it is a hard balance between watching Grant play and keeping Grayson occupied for the 2.5-3 hours we are there. I try to keep him in his stroller as long as possible and occupy him with snacks and toys. Sometimes I give him my phone to play with. We had been telling him that we were going to go to the mountains with Maama and Papa all week, so he was pretend talking to Maama saying things like, "see you later" , "mountains", "papa too?", "have a good day", "probly" It was so stinking cute! 



After awhile he gets super ornery and I let him get out of his stroller if he promises to stay close to mommy (which he NEVER does) Then I end up chasing him around the rest of the game, or if I happen to pay attention to Grant's game for a minute he gets sneaky and runs off without me. He really is sneaky and he knows exactly what he is doing. He is being naughty!! He will wait until he knows I am not looking and then take a dash for the playground. When he sees me coming after him he will take off in a dead run and not look back. He really is so naughty!
Unfortunately we lost our game, but Grant played great! I am so proud of Grant and Jared both!!

We went straight from the game up to Snowbird to celebrate Brock's birthday! As always it was a lot of fun! Papa bought this cool bingo game for Grant, so we all played. Grayson kept getting into the chips and the bingo balls, no matter how many times we told him no or tried to distract him. Jared tried distracting him with his phone a couple times, but he just kept coming back for more. Little stinker!



These boys are the best brothers! Of course Grant likes to tease Grayson. And Grayson likes to annoy Grant, but for the most part they get along great! Grant is usually a big help and Grayson definitely looks up to him!!


Enjoying the beautiful view!

Maama playing around with the boys!!

Jared told us not to do this, so we did it anyway! I ran down the hall pushing them fast and they giggled the entire time! Jared was afraid we were making too much noise and I didn't care! I remember my dad pushing me on the cart when I was little and it was always so much fun! My kids were laughing and enjoying themselves! That's all that matters!!

The Oktoberfest has changed a bit. It is kinda sad really. I think it would make Opa sad too. We still had fun but it definitely wasn't the same without Opa there. At one point I broke down and cried. I miss him so much and I have so many regrets. I love you Opa, you are always in my thoughts and in my heart! XOXO
