So, for those of you who don't know, J.D. and I have had season tickets to the Real soccer games ever since they came to Utah. For four years now, soccer games have been our date nights for 6 months of the year from April through October. They are fun to go to and on special games we try to get tickets for the whole family. Usually these are on the 4th or 24th of July because they do fireworks after the games and it is just a fun summer activity for the whole family. This game, however was a fun one because cutie pie American Idol David Archuleta was there to sing the National Anthem and do a 'mini' concert after the game.
This is us sitting in the 'good' seats, the 5 other kids sat across the stadium way up at the top!! They had fun though. That is baby Jiles in the brown boppy on my lap. Those things are awesome, just put the little bundle in there and he sleeps the whole time, I still have my arms to do stuff and best of all no carseat to lug around. He is still such a sleepy baby, only wakes to eat, and then off to sleep again.
Before the game started the National Guard was there and they had 6 guys jump from an airplane and parachute down. It was amazing to see how accurately they could land on the field and how fast they are still going when they land on the ground. This was the last jumper and he had the flag attached to his feet, the guys standing there swooped that flag up so fast after he landed so it wouldn't touch the ground. Kinda cool. After this they had a airplane fly right though the middle of the stadium, literally, it was so close to the top of the stadium. I don't think anyone saw it coming, and it was LOUD!! Kinda freaky.
There's our boy David Archuleta singing the National Anthem. I wish my camera took closer pictures to see his cute face. Morgan, Brenna, Ella, and I all have a crush on him. Ella was so exited the whole day, "is it time to go see Archuleta yet?" - only his last name, that is what she calls him.
Our seats are really good at the stadium. We sit right in the middle of the field only about 15 rows up. The boxes are right above us. A little way through the first half of the game Ella was looking around and noticed 'Archuleta' standing up above us in one of the press boxes. She watched him the whole time. This is one of about 20 pictures she took of him. She just sat there with the camera focused on him, and waiting for him to look. She was cute and she is a mighty fine picture taker, if I do say so myself.
Morgan and Brenna with my friend Jenn's daughters, Megan and Ashlyn. I have know Jenn since we were in high school and now our girls are friends. Its awesome!! They all have alot of fun together and they are hilarious. They all tried to dress the same (red ribbons in their hair and long socks pulled up to their knees with shorts on)...where do they get these ideas? It was a fun night for all of us.
One last picture of our night together. We were tired and it was late, nearly 11:00p.m. The concert was loud, we were all a little deaf by the time it was over. It was fun to see a Utah boy up on the stage being famous. I love spending time with my family. These are memories that I hope we will all remember for a long time.
