Kefford and Kelsey were doing a giveaway at the local Elementary schools in order to entice kids to their office and get more patients. It was a Halloween coloring contest and the grand prize winner got to choose between 4 tickets to the final BSU home game or a $100 visa card. I believe the winner chose the visa card because they were going to be out of town the weekend of the football game. The four tickets were then left unclaimed and so Kefford and Kelsey took their beautiful, talented, fun and awesome wives on a date night to the football game.
Initially I was pretty excited, I love watching BSU football and I have never been to a live game in the Broncos Stadium, seemed like a win-win for me! The day of the game I became less excited. Up until this time I was not thinking about the weather and when I realized how cold it was going to be I was down right scared about sitting in the stadium for 3+ hours freezing my tush off.
I had dance that night and I left a little bit early so I could get home and be ready to leave when everyone else arrived. Kefford and Kelsey were in Baker that day and although they worked the schedule so that they could leave early, the plan failed when they had a patient drive 2 hours to Emmett for his appointment not realizing they were actually five minutes from his house in Baker that day. I have to feel real bad for that guy. So the nice guys waited for this patient and were thus late coming home. Gave me time to prepare myself for the cold so it was ok they were a bit late. I layered and layered. Fleece lined leggings under jeans, thermals and sweaters under my down coat. I even wore my snow boots because they were warmer then all my other shoes, smart thinker I am! I grabbed myself a couple of hand warmers to put in my gloves and a blanket for Kefford and I and I was set.
We got to the game late and missed BSU scoring the first 15 seconds of the game. I wish we could have seen that because it was pretty much downhill from then on. BSU has had a rough season and this game against the Air Force was not a good one.

As you can see we got trampled by the Air Force in the second quarter and although BSU tried to being it back after halftime and did do better it was too late and we lost. It was really disappointing.
As far as the coldness goes, for me it was not too bad. I was doing fine up until the final quarter and by then I was done. I gave my hand warmers to Kefford to put in his shoes to help his feet not get frost bitten and once those were gone my hands started to get really cold and I was good to go home. We left when there were about four minutes left in the game. I wanted to leave a little bit early so that we would not have to wait forever in crowds to get the shuttle to take us to our car. Luckily we got out of there in no time and were able to get home where I crawled into my warm electric blanket heated bed.
Kelsey and Brit brought their kids over to play and be baby-sat by Kenedy and that was really fun for my girls to be with their Cousins.
I would be more then willing to go to another football game but only if it were earlier in the season so that I would not have to worry about being cold. I had been fighting a cold for the past couple of days and sitting outside in the freezing weather did not help me one bit. I was up for half the night feeling miserable and sick. I was finally able to get some sleep and I woke up right before 8. I had a little bit of time before my fit barre class and so I was relaxing in bed reading scriptures when I heard a pounding on the door. At first I thought it was Ryker messing around downstairs but he was on a scout campout, then when the pounding stopped and the doorbell started going like crazy I realized who it was, Alison and Bob coming to pick up Avy and Rylee. Alison had called the night before while I was at dance to see if they could pick up Rylee and Avynlea after they went to the Temple Saturday morning and take them home for a couple of days. I had completely forgot and everyone was still sleeping from being up so late the night before. I got Kefford up to answer the door and I rushed into the girls room to wake them up and hurry them to pack and be ready. I felt terrible for forgetting but Bob and Alison were so kind about it and waited while we hurried the girls along.
Definitely a crazy night and morning!
