Amanda's dad got BYU season tickets, so members of our family took turns going to games with him. This is at the end of the Utah game. I was there to storm the field back in 2009, too! 🤙 Go Cougs!

Claire and Ailie came with Amanda's dad and I to the Arizona State game and Claire has become a big BYU football convert. Max, on the other hand just said: "I don't ever want to go to another football game again. It was TOO LOUD."
