Go Utes!

When I first moved to Salt Lake City a little over 8 years ago, I purchased season tickets for the University of Utah gymnastics meets and attended every meet all by myself. (It took me a while to make friends...there was no way Trav was going to attend the meets with me!) The next year Briana joined me, and gradually over the years our group has grown to 8 season ticket holders! We use the meets as a "girls night out", going to dinner prior to the meet and then enjoying the phenomenal talent of the Ute gymnasts. We have even made a tradition of following the team to the NCAA National Championships every year. This will be the 7th year for Briana and I!

Anyway, gymnastics season is in full swing now, with last night being the second home meet. Last night we had 12 souls packed into our 8 seats...7 adults, 1 child and four babies (remember the babies that were born within 15 days of each other?). Luckily the babies were all pretty well behaved. I was worried about how Anna would do with the crowds, but she was fantastic!

Briana made the babies onesies that spell out "UTAH" and we were able to hold the babies up one at a time to go with the "UTAH" cheer. Michelle's baby Brylee gets to wear the "U" because she is the oldest. Briana's baby Zander gets the "T" because he is the tank of the group. Anna gets the "A" for obvious reasons, and Mandy's baby Evelynn gets the "H" because...well, because her dad's name is Hayden. No, really, it's because it was all that was left. The babies were a huge hit with the crowd around us!Our cute friend Sarah joined us for this meet. Here is a cute pic of her and Kamille.Here is Donna snuggling with Anna.

Having four babies at the meet makes it difficult to pay really close attention to the gymnastics, but the Utes did great last night, outscoring Washington by more than 3 full points. Go Utes!!
