Wide, wide weekend of sports!

The Johnson family had a fun-filled weekend here in Waco watching Baylor sporting events. First, we spent Saturday afternoon at the Baylor vs. A&M football game. As you can see from our attire, we were a bit confused about who to cheer for in this match-up. My sweet friend, Kim Achuff, gave us the tickets to the game. Her husband is one of the Baylor coaches, and we have been cheering for Baylor all year long and been so excited to see the improvement they have made this season!! (I took some pictures of him in action- yellow hat and grey sweatshirt) However, as a member of the Fighting Texas Aggie class of '96, I was compelled to root for the Aggies this time. (I was a little nervous about this, seeing as we were seated 3 seats down from Art Briles' wife (BU's head coach). You can see her in the yellow sweatshirt behind Jared to the left.) To balance it out, Steve wore his Baylor shirt, and Lauren wore her pink BU hat. Jared was very diplomatic and decided to wear his Aggie shirt and hat, but bring his Baylor foam finger to show his support for the Bears. We ended up cheering for both teams- pretty much whoever was on offense. Needless to say, the Aggies "ran out of time" once again (41 to 21). I have to give Baylor credit- they did play a great game! A&M, not so much. We had a good time and enjoyed the "football weather"- it actually felt like November in the stands! I am also happy to report that A&M DID win halftime!!








Whoop!









Steve had heard on the radio that if you took your football tickets to one of the Baylor basketball games this weekend, you could get tickets for $5. So, Sunday afternoon we went to watch the Lady Bears take on #2 ranked Stanford. Another great game! Baylor won 81 to 65! Rachel Allison was HOT, and ended up with 25 points! We got home, ate dinner, and sat down to watch the Cowboys win! Thus, our sports weekend was complete!

Bryon and the kids were at both of those games, too! I was busy with party planning, so it worked out well for everyone involved.

Glad you had a good weekend!

I love Baylor sports. Well, we only went to basketball games, but they were so much fun. I will make sure Chad checks out your photos to remind of him of our olden days. I miss Waco.
