GO AGGIES!

So those of you who know my family, know that we are big Utah State Aggie fans! My parents have season tickets so we get to take the kids to most of the home games. My boys have become huge fans of Jaycee Carroll. For those of you who don't follow Aggie basketball he is a senior this year and has become the all-time scorer in Utah State history. I think he is only about 70 pts. from becoming the all-time scorer for the entire state of Utah. Anyway he has been fun to watch and my kids idolize him. It is so funny to watch them run around the house trying to make baskets pretending to be Jaycee Carroll. In fact that is the best way to get them to clean up. They throw their toys into the baskets while pretending to be him. Even Carter being only 3 knows his number and can pick him out of the crowd. He likes pretending to be him even more than Camden. Anyway last week my dad arranged to have their picture taken with him after the game. Carter was so excited---Camden was a little nervous but you wouldn't think that by looking at the pictures. Here is my niece and nephew along with Carter. Camden was too nervous and wouldn't be in the picture. Carter hardly showed the excitement he was feeling. He looks kind of afraid but I think he was in total shock that Jaycee Carroll was holding him!
After the other kids had their picture taken Camden felt bad and had my dad take him down to get his picture taken. He was pretty excited. They both keep talking about it and are pretty excited about it. Now the Aggies need to go to the WAC championship and bring home a trophy. They are going in as the #1 seed so we will keep our fingers crossed! Darin was going to go and cheer them on, but decided to not leave his wife only weeks from delivery! What a man---now I just need to go into labor this weekend to really make it worth his while for staying home! (wishful thinking on my part!)

Jo that cracks me up b/c when we went to visit my nephews Cole and Carson that is what they would do-
one of them shouts "JC Carrol, JC Carrol"..over and over pretending to be in the crowd- while the other shoots the basket pretending to be JC Caroll.
Their dad (Brian) is a big Aggie fan so they get it from him! So I had to laugh when I read your post. Thats so cute they got to meet him! They'll remember that forever I bet.

Cute pics, that's cool of your dad to arrange it. Grandparents are the best. Good luck in the next couple of weeks when your little girl decides to come. I can't wait to see pictures.

The Fun of the Chase

How many are we entertaining out there?
