Recently a friend from our first married ward had a birthday party for her son turning 5 (June and Austin are a couple weeks apart). She has three boys and one little girl now, but the boys rule the house and sports are a BIG thing in their family. Daylen (dad) is a huge BYU fan. In fact, for his 30th birthday, Scarlet threw him a BYU bash with a large balloon animal in the shape of a cougar. It was pretty cool. So naturally Austin is following in his dad's footsteps. He had a BYU birthday. Scarlet was so cute putting paint lines on her lawn to make a mini football field. There was an obstacle course, and some fun games, but the highlight had to be when Cosmo showed up at his birthday. Austin was so excited. Actually everyone was excited (yes, even me). Tyler was really impressed and Ivory...well, she was happily playing on a slide and when she noticed Cosmo she just stopped and stared quizzically as if she had never seen a cat/man thing like that before. She squinted her eyes and stared again. I don't think she ever really figured him out, but she was fascinated. Cosmo raced with the kids and played
Duck Duck Goose. He was really fun. And we all got to take pictures with him at the end.
I like this first one, because although Robyn lost her shoe and we were all searching for it, Cosmo is a stalwart picture poser. I think he has done this before.
GO BYU!
I cant show Steve- he is true BYU! This photo might end up on my fridge. LOL.. Hey the cougs have an away game tonight--why isnt cosmo with them?
