GRIZ vs. CATS Game 2008

Getting ready to head out the door to the best game of the year... McKayla and I really enjoy going to the games and seeing lots of friends! I really missed the GRIZ games when I lived in Phoenix. There is nothing like seeing the stadium full of people in maroon and silver. GO GRIZ !

This is Debbie and Stanley. They are the pugs that hang out at a tailgate a little ways away from our tailgate. The girls love to stop by and say hi to them almost at much as they like to watch the game. If it wasn't for Debbie, Stanley and Monte I am not sure McKayla would be as excited about going to the games as she is. We will be able to see Monte at the basketball games... Debbie and Stanley we will have to wait until next football season!!

The little girls having fun at the tailgate before the game. Hanging clsoe to the little heater even though there was no snow... which is not the norm for this time of the year.

Having some shots to keep warm... at the tailgate before the game. It is the only occasion that it is acceptable to drink alcohol at 10 am.

The GRIZ came out in their "old school" colors!!! It was surprise that made the crowd even noiser. The only bad part for me was... those were the school colors when I was going to school there. Does that mean I am "old school"....

McKayla, Sarah and Heather at the game!! It was a really good game and of course the GRIZ won 35 to 3!!! We did our usual tailgating before the game and then headed in. It was beatuiful day!! It wasn't that cold and the sun was out for most of the day.

Baby Braxton

McKayla holding her newest cousin... Braxton Dale Marxer. My little sister Kristine had Braxton on October 17, 2008. He is a sweetheart! I have gone to Dillon a couple of time for "work" and to hold him for as long as I can. Kristine is an awesome Mom and he is adorable. McKayla had a good time holding him.

McKayla looks way to grown up in this picture. She is my baby... it seems like she was just little like Braxton. She is an incredible little girl and looks forward to baby sitting Braxton when they both are a little older. I told Aunt Kristine we would baby sit anytime she was willing to give him up. I am sure we will be line behind Grandma Donna.

Katie, Nick and I at the BSU vs U of I Game

Katie and I had to go to the Chinese Village for dinner. Our Dad used to take us there when we were little girls and would visit him in Moscow. We would frequent there in our college days too. It was a quick trip over the The Plantation to play a little darts after that. It was great food... Katie had not been there in like 15 years. Nick had never been there. Katie said it was as good as ever and Nick was surprised by the good food. Being the party animals that we are we went back to our hotel in Pullman and were asleep by midnight. It was a little more tame that it would have been 15 years ago. It was an incredible trip. Thanks for inviting me along Sister... I love you!!!!

Katie and her husband Nick. They are sooo good together. It is fun to hang out with them and see how much they enjoy each other.

Katie and I at the game. It was very fun. Boise State killed the U of I... which made Katie and Nick very happy. I was happy too... but more along for the ride and visit with my sister

Katie and I having a little lunch at Arby's in Moscow... we were wishing Weezy was there with us!! Just like the good old days.
