Classy? You tell me...

Dear Max Hall,

My name is Lindsey and I am a very passionate University of Utah fan.

I would also like to believe I am a fair, respectful and CLASSY fan.

I do believe that there are fans out there that do not represent our school and sportsmanship very well. I also believe that there are BYU fans out there that do not represent your schools beliefs and sportsmanship very well.

I believe a little competition is healthy and a good rivalry is fun. I think as long as everyone understands it is just a game and in the big picture of life who wins or loses is a just a mere moment in time (although I of course would rather the Utes come out victorious) it can remain fun and healthy.

Now I understand things have been said and things have been done to hurt your feelings and to hurt your view on the University of Utah I would like to take a moment to discuss your comments Saturday night.

Let us start with a quote shall we.

"...I don't like Utah. In fact, I hate them. I hate everything about them. I hate their program, I hate their fans, I hate everything."

Those sir are very strong words to use at a formal press conference but I would have understood if you had stopped there. It is a very passionate rivalry. Yet you decided to go on and say

"I think the whole university, their fans and their organization is classless. They threw beer on my family and stuff last year, and they did a whole bunch of nasty things, and I don't respect them, and they deserved to lose."

Granted I'm sorry your family got treated poorly, I'm sorry that there are fans out there that would behave in such a way. I am also sure that there are plenty of stories out there of Utah fans getting treated poorly at your stadium (including when I was an eight year old girl innocently sitting at a rivalry game proudly in my Utah coat and having things thrown at me...now remember I said eight years old).

To group everyone associated with the Utes, all their fans, and their organization together and call them classless? That sir, if you ask me, is disrespectful, unprofessional and down right CLASSLESS.

To be a representative of BYU and their "organization" I would think you would watch what you say.

They should be ashamed of you.

Although I should thank you for one thing, your comments have definatley taken a little glory off your win and shown you in one bad light, I guess it just must be your true colors coming through for everyone to see.

Thank You,

A true classy Utah fan

Family Pictures

A friend of mine from high school took mine and Coltons picture on Sunday out in Eagle Mountain. I thought she did a GREAT job! She is starting out in the photography business and I really like what work I have seen her do. Go check her blog out http://www.blogger.com/www.blackcrowphotography.blogspot.com

Here are a few of my favorites...

Snow Day!!

As the snow is falling on the ground we decided it was a great idea to go out and play! After running to Payless to buy some snow boots (which I will be returning after it took me 15 minutes to put them on Colton)we got bundled up and ready to go! Colton had a hard time walking in those dang boots so once I sat him down he thoroughly enjoyed picking up the snow and trying to eat it all. This is going to be one fun winter!!

My Prayer

Dear God,

Please let the sky's clear up but the snow stay on the ground by 11:00 tomorrow morning.

Colton and I would appreciate it greatly

Amen

Happy Halloween!

Colton and I had a great Halloween. The Utes had a home game this year at 6:00 (DUMB planning if you ask me) so my Mom and Terry were up at the tailgate lot. I took Colton up there so everyone could see him then he got to Trick-or-Treat around the lot. He was so funny and cute! He understood the concept perfectly...grab as much candy as they will let you, put it in your bucket, when they make you stop move on to the next people! Good thing he was one cute Monkey! After we left there we went to my Aunt Connie's, Nev's house, then to my dads house where we stayed and watched the game and helped pass out candy. It was a lot of fun this year and am excited for next year when he will understand it even more. Who knows maybe next year I'll even let him have a piece of his candy (yes I know I'm the mean mom that doesn't let their child have sugar)! Although there have been no complaints from Terry since he got all of Colton's loot!

Here are some pictures from our day

Starting off..

I love my Monkey"Crazy dance lady" (if you have ever gone to the games you will know who she is) "Give me candy!!"
