Are you ready for some football?

Today was the first Bronco game of the year. Boise State University played Idaho State University. Oddly, though we cheer on BSU in our home, my cousin plays for ISU. So, we rooted for the orange and blue, but cheered for one player on the opposing team as well. :0)

Being the fan that Jaysen is, he wanted to have a kickoff party. So, we invited oodles of people and made oodles of food and got ready for the big game.

Do you think we had enough to eat?
On top of the snacky foods, Jaysen decided to break in his new charcoal grill. Apparently the nice gas grill he got for Father's Day last year wasn't going to cut it. :0) {Pictured are Rob, Jaysen and Ryan}

Unfortunately the game was fairly boring as BSU was ahead several touchdowns by half time and ISU wasn't ever able to catch up. Humorously enough, we had ISU alums at the party rooting for their team at the party too {It was Zach and Holly...not that I'm naming any names here...}. :0) I'm thinking perhaps they should have chosen the BETTER team. :0)
The kids had a great time playing outside and in the play room in the basement. Mackenzee was in heaven having so many friends over. As usual, she was sure the party was for her. :0) {Pictured is Cole who decided to make a funny face instead of smile}
Here are some of the kids messing around in the play room. {Logan, Jackson, Landon, Shelby, Maggie, Breanna, and Mackenzee}And, as usual these girls were inseperable. Mackenzee was so excited to be able to finally wear her new BSU cheerleader outfit. She even begged to sleep in it tonight. But, as I have told you all before...I'm a mean mom, so she had to change to jammies. :0) Jaysen has got her saying, "Go Broncos!" and "Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.....touchdown!" all while shaking her blue and orange pom poms. He's already brainwashing her. :0)

Maggie was Mackenzee's quarterback and looked super cute in her little football uniform. It was so nice to have so many kids around that were close enough in age that they each had a playmate to goof around with.

All in all, I think we ended up with about 28 people at our house. It was crazy! But, we had a great time and were so glad we have such good friends to share in our good times. :0) So, we have now officially moved on from weekly golf league to weekly BSU games. It's never ending around here, but it's fun to have something we can enjoy together as a family. {Even if I don't really care about the game even the tiniest bit....}

Are you ready for some football?

It's that time of year again! Tonight is the first Boise State football game. We're all geared up. Jaysen is bummed because he's got his last night of Golf League and can't miss it because it's the playoffs and will determine if his team comes in first or second. But he'll be home halfway through the game and I have been instructed to TiVo the whole thing for him. ;0)
Now, don't think that I'm a football lover. Because I'm not. But, I do have to admit that it is fun to watch Jaysen watching the games. And the bowl game in January was awesome...so maybe I'm converting. Who knows. But we do have fun with it. Any time you want to come over and watch the game...just let us know! It's always more fun watching it with others!
