Random catch-up post

We live within sight distance of the BSU Smurf Turf. Their big game (remember, the "big game"?) was last Thursday against Oregon. They won. But the more exciting part was the Oregon player punching the Boise State player after the game in the spirit of good sportsmanship.
I love how the Boise stadium color coordinates their games. Each section was assigned a different color, and apparently most people got the memo. When I was looking at this spectacle, I was kind of confused why there were the sprinklings of yellow and green-- I mean, obviously they missed the memo when they got their seat assignments.In this next photo are the world's biggest sports fans. We went on a walk that evening, just to poke around and see the tailgate parties. Kevin decided to wear green, although he would have preferred an actual Oregon shirt-- just to be obtuse. I was wearing purple, and Kevin was wearing Penny, so none of us got punched in the face. We did see one Duck fan nursing a bloody nose and some loose teeth, though. :S
Note to self: always support the right team.
Or keep rude comments to self.

Just to continue my series of "Penny and her dad," here is how they spend their evenings.
And on my birthday (August 26th for those of you who forgot), we went to this concert. Every Wednesday in downtown Boise, they have this free outdoor concert. The first time we went, it was about 100 degrees, I was 8.5 months pregnant, and we didn't have any shade or seats. This time we brought chairs, set them up in the shade, and still dripped with sweat. So we, being some of the only adults NOT drinking beer at the event, decided to jump in the fountain and run around in it. After that, it was much cooler and much more enjoyable!
Penny slept through the whole thing.
Well, I guess she woke up for part of it:
And that catches me up to this weekend.....
Coming shortly.

I wish we had a fountain like that but no one will build one in the desert. Something about conserving water...

Just wait until she wants to be like dad and type too. (try out baby smash)

She is sooooo cute! And I'm glad you didn't get beat up. You should find some Chinese football team and wear one of their shirts to the games...
