Another Fan is Born

Grandpa Castillo, Aunt Jen, Landon and Easton went to the BYU vs. Wyoming game a couple weekends ago. Easton was sooo excited all week! He had a great time. His favorite part was watching Cosmo the Cougar run around the stadium. For like a week after they went to the game he remembered Cosmo in his prayers. It was either “thankful that we got to see Cosmo” or “please bless that we get to see Cosmo again.” Little boys' prayers are answered because he's going to the game this weekend!

Gooooooo Cougars!! He even learned the ra ra cheer after the fight song!
