Football and Family

As Saturday was the big BYU vs. UofU game we thought we would have a little get together with some of Lorin's family that could come. We enjoyed homemade pizza thanks to my sweet sis. in law Kim who helped me. We won't even discuss the batch of pizza dough I had to throw away. Well the game didn't turn out too well. Ok let's be honest it was a disaster but the company was good.
Saturday marked 7 years since Lorin's Mom's passing and 3 months since Keith's passing. I am sure that they were aware of us getting together as a family and remembering them. Maybe they were even able to get in on some of the fun. We know how much Keith enjoyed sports. Things will never quite be the same without them. Get out a tissue and read Natalies post on the subject here http://natalieshumway.blogspot.com/2008/11/7-years3-months.html. Very sweet! We are so grateful to belong to such a strong, faithful family.
This is what was on the wall just inside our door as well as various signs around the house and outside which I discovered as we left for church the following morning. Megan is such a party person. Gotta love her!

Ah, Saturday was a sad day for Cougar fans! I saw a girl during the half-time report who kept finding her way into the background, talking on her cellphone and waving. I thought she looked kind of like you, Janice! I guess if you were at home making pizza then you weren't at the game trying to be seen on TV!

Thanks for hosting Janice! The food was great and the company was awesome. It was good to spend time with the family. We love you!

I love Megan's signs. That game was horrible. I wish it had turned out differently. I am glad you have such great in-laws. I know it is very hard to have loved ones gone but I am sure they are well aware of all of you. I am glad you all were able to get together.

I'm assuming the "Utes this way" sign is pointing OUT the door!! Sounds like you had a good time. We need to do more together... life is happening too fast these days! Love ya!

Thanks for a great party! Yes, the company was great and I too am sure we had a little visit from other loves ones- even if it was even just a peak. Megan's decorations were fabulous- like always. And the Pizza was delicious- even if you had to throw a batch away, you did a great job! Thanks for the compliment on the tribute- it really was just me typing away- I really didn't mean to make it such an emotional thing. But I do tend to do some "healing" through writing.
