Broncos...Blessing(?)

This past weekend was a lot of fun two things happened, tailgated and went to the Boise State football game and my brother blessed his baby in church.
Tailgating:
Fun times. My brother Cort and I arrived at the location at about 8:00 AM (the game started at 1:00 PM) and it was 36°. We set up a canopy spaced out some chairs along the parking area and awaited the arrival of the others. We decided to set up camp in a park across the river from Bronco Stadium. We sat and drank hot cocoa to keep warm and read up on the WAC conference match-up we were preparing to attend. When my Dad arrived he brought a “soot bucket” that we used to put start a fire in to keep warm. Then about 10:00 AM our wives arrived with some of the food and munchies. By 11:00 AM we had about 20 people, a TV, a radio, a generator, a fire pit, and two kinds of soup (made by our lovely wives), sandwiches, chips, and cookies. We ate and conversed then about 12:30 PM we headed over to the stadium. It was a fun game (56-6) another victory for the Broncos on the blue turf. We have decided that we will have to do it again next season.
Blessing:
Mucha Familia! Cort blessed his son on Sunday at church. In the LDS church a blessing is similar to a christening, but not a baptism. The LDS don’t baptize children until they are eight years old (Moroni 8:12 “little children are alive in Christ” until the age of eight they are not subject to the same accountability.)There was a lot of family there from our side at church there was about 18 people and from his wife’s side about 30 people. We had an aunt (our mom’s sister) come up from Orem, UT with her son. Afterward we went to our dad’s house for a luncheon. It was a lot of fun, we sat and talked and everyone took turns holding his baby and holding my son. Kids are great. Families can make a self-centered life turn inside out to one centered in service and love.
