Go Pokes

Something we have always enjoyed, and maybe before the kids in a different "enjoyable" way...is a Cowboy football game. Since the kids were born we have brought them to a Wyoming Cowboy game, even though last year was more of "oh look people running around down there" this year it is more of a cheering and enjoyable part for the kids.

Layla's gets really into the yelling along with us and other people around us. Yelling "Get 'em! Stop 'em", and "Go, Go, GO!!!!!!!!!" She also got really into one of the songs played between plays which has lyrics "raise a little hell" she replied with as clapping "Raise Hell!". It it is absolutely adorable when she yells "get 'em" because a little vein in her for head will pop out as her face turns red from yelling. I mean c'mon cowboys GET them already so the little toddler doesn't freak out up here!

Aidan as always is a little more laid back, but he still does his share of cheering...he loves clapping to the music between plays and he occasionally will yell "get em" but he is more of a guy that concentrates on the game, and yells "tackle!" when the offencive and defencive tackle eachother and such. This picute i love, even though he is trying to push me away, it makes me so happy that i can share time with him that he enjoys. He really loves yelling "go pokes!" the kids know everytime they see the steamboat sign to yell "Go Pokes!!!"

Layla as i mentioned before loved to yell at the game and the players. Before each game i explain what colors we are cheering for and what to say. She will get so into the game sometimes it is hard to even get her attention to get her from stop yelling between plays.
Aidan and Kendall, him and his daddy hanging out,...he really enjoys the football games too, not only does he get to go out, he gets to sit on whoever he wants if it is Kendall, Gary, or Skylar (i swear Layla has a crush on him). He just wants so badly to be "one of the guys."
After the games we will usually have a BBQ or some sort of get together somewhere...usually at our house so the kids can get a quick nap in since the games fall during naptime. Here they are enjoying a fruit smoothy together...so sweet, each have their own straw! I hope it can be a family tradition to go to football games together and share the cheering and yelling together! Even tonight the kids before bed begged to watch a "football game!!!" they love getting in the three point stance and running the ball before getting tackled by one of their framily.
