McCall in November

A few weeks ago Zac and I headed up to McCall to spend the weekend with Mom and Cam. It was a great weekend. I took a personal half day to ensure we were up to McCall and at the Shore Lodge in time for kickoff between BSU and Idaho. We put on our flags and drove north into Vandal country. We enjoyed watching the game at the Shore Lodge and had a good time...maybe too good of a time! Of course, BSU showed up and walloped on the Vandals for what was the last time they will meet in the near future.

Saturday Mom and I cooked a yummy breakfast while Zac studied and Cam messed around in the garage, on the snow blower and who knows what else. He always keeps himself busy up in McCall. Saturday afternoon we decided to drive up to Brundage for an early Christmas present from the parents....ski passes. I'm so excited to go skiing (yes skiing, not boarding) up at Brundage. Zac is even going to give skiing a shot. Who knows maybe he'll switch too!

Then we took the dogs for a walk to Brundage Reservoir. The snow was falling, the trees were all snow covered and it was a beautiful walk.

Sunday we packed up and headed out. It was a great weekend and I can't wait to go back up....hopefully next time we'll be able to hit the slopes.

Even with the couch and beds being put into the game room, Bry's house still managed to stick around and she even got a door mat.

Looking out at a pretty snowy morning.

How cute are those faces!!!!!



Since we had the flags up we couldn't roll down the back windows, which we didn't think would be a problem since the temperature outside was in the teens. But of course, Rio needed some air. So we opened up the sun roof and he was able to stick his head out and get some air.

Rio always makes us laugh!

BSU vs Hawaii

It's been a while since my last post. Zac's been busying studying and I've been busy with report cards, conferences and lesson planning. There's never a wasted moment in our crazy lives right now.

This weekend we had Zac's family down for a long over due visit. Luckily, we were able to get two guest tickets for the Hawaii game, so we were all able to go cheer on the Broncos and be apart of the blue tidal wave crashing down on the Hawaiian Warriors. They didn't know what a wave was until they came to Bronco Nation. We got to the stadium close to 11:00am. We waited in line for about an hour to ensure good seats in the student section. Zac and I had our cow bells and Zac, Jesse and Kyle all had a blow horn. So between all of us, we made some pretty good noise.

Going into this game, I was a little nervous of the outcome. Hawaii was on a 6 game winning streak, they just crushed Nevada and came in with the number one offense in the nation. However, BSU deteriorated their impressive stats and shot down their hopes of jumping into the top 25 in the polls or even a WAC championship. In fact, BSU's defense held the Warriors offense to a measly 196 total yards! We held them to only 11 first downs, three of those first downs coming in the fourth quarter against our second-string and the Warriors didn't score until the fourth quarter on our second and third string defense. We also sacked their quarterback 7 times! And our offense behind Kellen "the computer" Moore broke three school records. Austin Petis surpassed the school record of catches by a receiver. Kellen broke the school's record of passing yards and altogether the offense broke the record of total yards in a single game....737! It was impressive.

On top of the nearly perfect win, a boy suffering from leukemia was honored during the game, walking out with the Broncos and being on the sideline with Coach Pete. It was definitely heartwarming. In addition, veterans past and present from all branches of the military were honored and two warthogs flew over the stadium after the national anthem.

Altogether, it was a perfect Saturday afternoon at Bronco Stadium.

The weekend was enjoyable, relaxing and fun filled. Next weekend BSU travels up to Vandal country to take on Idaho for what may be the last time. At least it's the last time in the foreseen future. Say goodbye to the ridiculous and pathetic rivalry.



Of course I had to take a picture of our season tickets, as this week's game ticket featured quarterback Kellen Moore!

It's upside down, but the marching band played all of the different military branch's theme songs and formed the initials....this picture is of course of USMC. So proud of all those who have served, especially Zac!

Chelsea, Sherry and Kyle....Chelsea and Kyle went all out with their blue and orange wigs.

Getting so excited for Reno! Sounds like we'll be watching the last rivalry between BSU and Idaho up in McCall, which is Vandal country. Then back here for the Fresno game. Up to Hailey for an early Thanksgiving and then off to Reno for the BSU vs Nevada game. I can hardly wait!!!!!
