When I first met my husband and learned he was majoring in sport management, I assumed sports was an interest of his. I then learned my husband came from a family of 9 boys (no girls). Hmmm. And then, after attending my first family get together, my suspicions were confirmed. "How can they all know EVERYTHING about EVERY sport?" I wondered. Those boys were spewing forth stats like an auctioneer on auction day. Since I was already crazy about my husband, I quickly decided it was better to join him than fight him. So, over the last 14 years I've become a bit of a sports junkie too. With this in mind, here's a recap of my weekend:
Friday - Attend Gonzaga basketball game. This was actually a scrimmage that was free to the public. It was a blast. The "kennel" was packed and the players even treated us to a dance before the game. Our kids loved it
Saturday am - Soccer. Both Nicholas and Natalie were on teams this year. I have to admit I love soccer. Our family has a "sports" quilt. We take it to the games and snuggle in it, drinking hot cocoa and rooting for whatever family member we're supporting that day.
Saturday pm - WSU football game. Nothing says fall like cool, crisp air; kettle corn; and our family huddled together at the stadium, rooting for our beloved cougs. They even won!
Sunday - Okay, I know I really shouldn't have anything sports related to discuss on the Sabbath, BUT . . . Andrew and I have an agreement, no sports on Sunday except the Super Bowl and if the Red Sox are in the World Series (his favorite baseball team since he was a little boy). Well . . . it was game 4 of the World Series and the Red Sox were up 3 - 0 in the series. So we all stayed up late and THEY WON!!! We celebrated with sparkling cider and lots of cheering.
Here are some pictures of all the festivities:

After coming too from a dead faint that you actually blogged again, I loved the post! Sounds alot like our house! I'm going to have to talk to you more for the local sports connections!
Go Cougs! It's nice you were actually able to see them win this season:)
Another Spokane family comes to Pullman and we never knew it! Next time you're coming to town, e-mail me and we can plan a quick get together. Do you go to all the Coug home games? It was so nice to have them win a Pac 10 game this year. I had given up hope.
Your new picture is so cute. I'm so impressed. Sounds like a great weekend. It is so much easier to join the sports fanatic husband than to fight him.
I too understand being married to a sports nut! Luckily I got out of a lot of sporting activities when we moved up here (no more live BYU sports to go to).
You have such a great attitude. I'm glad you have fun at the soccer games (I am so glad they are over!)
Loved the pictures!
Great banner!! So cute. I'm impressed with you and your family. Without BYU and the Jazz we've sort of become ho-hum about sports...although we've really taken to the Gonzaga Bulldogs not to mention we go to lots of Indians baseball games.
I LOVE that you celebrated the Red Sox with sparkling cider...you guys are my kind of people!
You're a good wife. My husband likes sports too and luckily I do too so we watch them together. Guilt goes away!
How fun! Devin got free tickets to the football game, so off we went! I can't believe we were sitting so close to you guys and never saw you!
