What we will miss this fall.

Well fall is coming and we will not know what to do with our weekends. For the past 5 years we have become loyal Ute fanatics. We have all loved watching my brother Derrek be a star payer for the Utes. The girls have been brain washed to hate BYU and to bleed red. Zoey would come home from school and tell me so and so wore a BYU shirt, we hate BYU mom, we only like the Utes. She made it well known to everyone that her Uncle Derrek plays for the Utes. Well Derrek did awesome and hopefully something will fall through for him to play at the next level. If not it was fun while it lasted.
