Super Bowl XLV

Brett definitely likes football but we aren't really die-hard fans. Maybe it's because we've never really had access on our home TV or because it's on Sunday (we try to cut down on the TV watching on the Sabbath). Whatever the case- Brett likes to watch some of it if he can and makes sure he knows the score but that has been our extend of involvement in the Multi-million dollar game. ;) Well this year, our friends the Eriksons (die-hard Steeler fans!) invited us out for a little SuperBowl XLV Partay!
We had a great time! There was soooo much yummy food! We had chips & home-made salsa, chicken wings, mini pigs in a blanket, mini corn dogs, pizza bites, veggies with dip, brocolli salad, Doritos (those commercials are the best!), bread and artichoke dip, deer jerky sticks, football cookies, mini cupcakes, pretzels, tons of pop and Jen's amazing cookie pizza. [even though she didn't grace us with her presence- ;o) We missed you my dear, crazy college friend!]
Landon was so excited to have his friends out to play and my couch-potato children enjoyed a couple of movies.
Alma and Phil stayed up stairs for most of the game while they rooted for the Packers. Every time the Packers scored, they would stomp on the floor. Too funny! The rest of us enjoyed watching Jason's blood-pressure spike in this close, intense game. Such a bummer that his team lost! We almost had to take him home with us! ;) We also LOVED the commercials. LOL! Where do they come up with these things? Last but not least- there are some amazing movies coming out soon. I'm so excited!

Lots of fun! Thanks for having us out guys! You're awesome!

Football Season is over!

Justice just finished up his Flag Football season.

It's been fun that Brett has been able to help coach.

Justice plays defense most of the time and is awesome at grabbing flags.

We are very proud of you, Buddy! Great job!

Boise State Football Game

The Potters invited us over tonight for a little Boise State Football Party! They went all out! There were so many yummmy snacks (after our over-eating at lunch it was a perfect dinner)- Heidi's Chicken is to die for! Salsa, chips, chicken wings, veggie tray, fruit, candy, and a plethora of chocolate, chocolate, chocolate!Every dessert that people made or brought was a chocolate lovers dream! SO GOOD! ;)

The Potter kids were all in their Football fan attire including the painted football faces. Too cute! My kids were so excited to get to hang out with them for a bit. The Tuckers, part of the Larsens and Bishop all came as well. Jamison is a hoot! Even if you're not a football fan, you can't but help be excited about it when he's around. But be warned...you should probably bring ear protection if you want to walk away with any sense of hearing. LOL!

Since it was a school night, I took the kids home at half time but the men folk stayed. I guess it was a football fans dream game. They were down by ??? (non-football fan writing here- LOL) and came back to win it in the last minute! Wahoo! Go Broncos!!

Justice & the Raiders

Brett signed Justice up for Flag Football again and even offered to help coach this year as well. [So... we totally slacked and didn't sign up in time to avoid the late fee but decided to buck up and pay the whomping $75 bucks anyways just to make sure Justice could play his favorite sport.- Now that's an extremely nice Dad, right there!]
Justice is playing for the Raiders this year and after a little work get-together for Brett, he had his first game tonight. I totally forgot my camera- I know- SLACKER!!! But luckily I made my phone camera work and emailed myself all the pictures. Hopefully, you can see them!

Justice pulled the first flag of the night and also made a pretty good run!

Way to go Buddy!

You are awesome!

Go Raiders!!
