So yesterday was a hard night in the Johnson household. Austin lost his first football game of the season and was not sure how to take it. It was hard for all of us after seeing what he can do. It is really hard when we could see that he was trying but his line was just not coming through for him and letting him have a run. And I can't say "well if your line would have done their job or been better" because I know that it is a team game and effort but man that was a hard lose. His biggest game of the season is on Monday night here in Springville at the high school. We would love to see everyone there. They are playing another team from Springville who are undeafted but they do not play nice so hopefully we kick thier butts. Here are a few pictures from last weeks games.

This post is about Dani. She loves BYU football or should I say she loves who plays BYU football. This year we bought 3 tickets and her, Austin and me (Elissa) go to the games. Now last year her favorite player was #41 Bryan Kehl. (who can blame her for that one) This year the lucky one is #43 David Nixon. Because of connections we had we tired to arrange for him to make a surprise appearence for her birthday. He was not able to come but she saw him at the blue and white game and got another picture with him. We transfered it onto a shirt. She wore it to the game and after the game we found him and he loved the shirt. He said he wanted one. So she is in heaven. She thinks a six year age difference is nothing since that is what Bryan and I are. Dani, wait till you are out of high school baby!haha

Okay i know that I have already typed stuff today. But I have more pictures. These are from the amazing BYU/ucla Game. So at the blue and white game back in April we were sitting next to a family who has a son on the team. They are the Pittmans and the nicest people. Their son G (yes that is his real name) is a freshman but has already seen a lot of playing time. After the last two games we have visited with them while they wait for G to come out of the locker room. G's dad asks austin every week how his games have been going and asks Dani about her running. He told Austin that when G was Austin's age they went to the collage games and hung around the locker room and then would get invited to go to practices and run some plays with team and work out in the locker room. He told Austin that G and Big B (Brandon Bradley #5) would take him with them and start letting him work with them and get tips. That made Austins day. If that wasn't enough to make him jump for joy 2 weeks ago Bryan was golfing (i know that comes as a shocker to a lot of you haha) in Spanish Fork and saw Reho Mahe. he played for BYU and then the Philly Eagles. This is Austin's biggist football idol. after school I ran Austin up to the course and he had his picture taken with him. HUGE!

So here I go again. this time I have a new background. It took me forever but I am being very determined. Although somewhere in the middle of changing to a cute background I lost my kids first day of school pictures. Everything is going good here. Dani is getting ready to take her driving test, waiting for volleyball to start and is preparing for basketball tryouts. Austin is dominating at football games. Their team is undeafted. At the game on Wednesday night he ran for 4 touchdowns. The only touchdowns. Most were with a run of between 30-50 yards a piece. Needless to say he is really enjoying football. Baylie's soccer team is also undeafted. She loves to play the sport. I say more power to her running up and down the feild. I can't do that. Cooper is playing soccer too and is actually understanding the game better this year. Last year he always seemed to end up on the ground. So our Wednesdays and Saturdays are usually all three games. I don't know what Iwould do without my parents. One is always with me or helping to take one of the kids to a game while I wait for one to finish. Although on Wednesday I did need to move down the bleachers as Austin was running for a touchdown. Mom can hit hard when she is excited! haha

Okay so same day. And know I am going to try to put on some pictures. Wish me luck. These are the pictures of the first day of school. This year I have one in High school, one in Junior high, and two at the elementry school. It is hard to believe. Austin is wearing his football jersey. He had his very first football game that day.

So I have finally decided to try to this blog thing. We will see if it is something that I stick with or just another thing I try and never finish. Ha Ha. I have looked at so many peoples blog sites that are so cute and fun. Hopefully this will work for me. I love seeing what everyone is doing even my neighbors that I talk with everyday. Let's see if we can't get some pictures on this thing. Give me a day or so.... Here we go!
