Yes, we actually "prepare" for the BYU season. This weekend we made our trip to the BYU book store to get the apparel required to watch the games. One of the other requirements for BYU to play (or win) a game is that Joel has to shave his head before every game...whoa! This is serious stuff! We had a lot of fun at the bookstore though...me and Madi found these really cute tote bags (for diaper bags) for only $4.00! So we picked up a few of those too...hey, a mom can still have a stylish diaper bag to match her outfits right? I have to add that the girraffe, zebra, and stripe print on these bags were a little too stylin' for Joel and Jordan to carry (they would be embarrassed) so they found a football tote. This poor baby, he doesn't have much of a chance but to like BYU football, and football in general...and the Yankees. Oh! and the baby got BYU booties... after all, he will be born right in the middle of football season... we want him to be all prepared too!
After our bookstore trip, we stopped by the Creamery for a little snack. mmm...ice-cream!
Hudson Vaughn Baumgart was born on September 22, 2008 at 12:56 a.m. He weighs 5 lbs. 4 oz. and is 18 1/2 in. tall. He is our little preemie baby. He was born 5 weeks early, but he is doing surprisingly very well. We are so excited to get him home, he is just a doll. We feel so lucky to have such a precious little boy in our home and part of our family.
Final score: Olympus 20, Riverton 0...Sad, yes. I have to say though that Jordan did get a touchdown, but it was called back due to an "illegal block" (supposedly). Olympus scored all their points in the first half, but Riverton was able to hold them in the second. 
Wow! School has started already. This is Madi's first day of 1st grade and Jordan's second day of 6th grade. For Jordan, it is old news...but for Madi, this is quite an event. She is so organized and worried about every little detail, I think Joel was ready to go insane while she was primping, and packing and unpacking her back pack, figuring out if she wants cold or hot lunch, and the biggest issue... What should she wear? I need to thank Joel for dealing with a lot of these issues this morning with her. He was very patient with itchy belts, itchy tags, the right pair of shoes to wear, packing her lunch in an organized manner (according to Madi) and getting her some breakfast, even though she was too nervous to eat. All in all, Jordan and Madi made it to the bus on time, and Joel could go to work and relax.
