Busy Week

We had a fairly busy week this week, but I didn't take many pictures. I'm having some difficulties remembering things, and the camera is one of them.

On Tuesday, Brad and I went to the Dave Matthews Band concert. It was a great show, we had a lot of fun! I was pretty tired, but I tried to stay as energetic as possible because Brad was enjoying himself and I didn't want to be the boring wife sitting through the whole thing. I think I let loose pretty well, but not quite as much as Brad, he was...well...Brad! I've always known he loves Dave, but I found out that night that he has a pretty extreme man crush on him. Lenna was nice enough to let Donovan sleep over on a school night so we could go. Brad left the next morning at 3:30 for Minnesota. They won that game of course and he got home at about 3:30 on Thursday morning...so he spent a good 12 hours just riding on the bus! On Friday he had a home game and they won....of course. If they're playing within their conference, it's pretty much a guarunteed win. Afterwards Dell Loy took us to dinner with some of the parents who had flown out with him to watch the games that weekend. On Saturday morning, the girls played against each other for their Full 90 Fundraiser. Brad coached the white team and they ended up beating the blue team in a shootout. It was fun to watch them go at each other. It was supposed to be an afternoon game, but Dell Loy wanted to get back for the Real Salt Lake vs Chicago Fire game on Saturday and told Brad if he moved the game to 10 am, he would donate $5,000. Of course it wasn't a big deal, so Brad agreed and got a check for the soccer team that morning! What a life that would be!! That afternoon we went to the IWCC Homecoming football game. It was a little frustrating until they came out and won in the 4th quarter. Donovan really enjoyed his 1st football game, even though it was freezing. All the pictures are below.

Brad and his new jersey.
Ready to watch Peyton play Eli!
Dell Loy brought REAL practice jerseys for the whole team...with their own names and numbers on the back. Granted, some of the girls probably have no idea who Real Salt Lake is...or that Dell Loy owns almost half the team, but they all thought it was pretty great! Don't look too closely at the goalie on the end above Dell Loy, she had a plate put in her cheek bone the other day after it was fractured in 3 different places on their NY trip. The poor girl looks so miserable, I can't even imagine something like that.

Donovan's first football game!!


He liked trying to copy what the cheerleaders were doing. He got pretty into all the cheering.
We watched Mason and Addi Saturday afternoon/evening so Scott and Lenna could get out. They all had fun together, with a couple of meltdowns from Donovan. I don't know what's going on, but he's been extremely sensitive lately. I hope it's just the changes coming up and nothing I'm doing wrong.

Just one away game this week and then a home game Saturday. Then we'll be alone again next weekend when Brad goes to Laramie. I wish we could go on that trip, but we have responsiblities here. PS-Colts are winning right now...WOOT WOOT!!

Fun fun fun. I'm jealous of your Real connections. You should get the owner to take us out on his jet the next time he's flying to Iowa. I wouldn't mind!

I would seriously love to get in on that jet action to the games! I'd be happy to drive to the jet where ever he parks it!So nice that he's so generous and the team/school benefits from it. Funny that's the first football game Donovan's attended. I know ya can't count the soccer games he's attended though. Nice that you and lenna can trade kids and get away. Hurray for DMBand I KNOW how much Bradley gets into that! Yay! Go Colts!
