Raining Cats & Dawgs

Guess you could say we were all dressed up with nowhere to go, but made sure boys were able to sport colors of both our fav college teams on day o' first games this season. We knew people with tix who were fortunate enough to be there in person, but we settled for fuzzy radio en route from cabin & good ole' view from couch! Too bad I thought I'd DVR'd beyond set game time to cover last min & instead cut off both games in 4th quarter so was reliant on SportsCenter & ticker for final score-ugh! Anyway I made sure not to pack our red swimsuit/shorts:) but turned out weather didn't coop, so more just escape to soothing aura of Merwin on Labor Day weekend:)
Here are Parker boys ready to cheer on Cougs vs OK @ new TX stadium...
My cousin Mika should have pics of BYU in action sooner (pun intended)!! Lucky girl! Whoo hoo for 14-13 victory!! Yes, we will be paying Aunt Brooke to bring home some more blue/white @ Christmas, but @ least jammie pants are football-themed with both shades of BYU uniform despite leaving Dane's football slippers in bag:)

Then we braced ourselves for what should be more exciting walk with Dawgs under new head coach Sark vs LSU (both feature purple n' gold!):Let's give new coaching staff another hearty welcome to UW & congrats to team for showing up even though they didn't pull off the win; upside is the hope we still have for rest of season that was greatly lacking yr ago!! Of course that isn't all of their Husky attire either, but will suffice for tonight:) Notice combo o' sports with bball shorts & football jerseys:)

What a game for BYU (note, I cannot bring myself to even type the "C" word, LOL) But on a MUCH MORE EXCITING NOTE: How 'bout them Dawgs!!! Not a victory in the "win" column, but a victory in so many other ways! The crowd was electric, we had glimmers of BRILLIANCE on both offense and defense!! I'm ready for a fun season... we're definitely gonna win some games!! What a switch from last year. We're gonna have to hook up before one of the husky games and do some tailgating!!

Seriously - Go Cougs! Dave and I DVRed the game, put the kids to bed and proceeded to keep them awake for hours with our cheering/screaming/almost-swearing/cheering in the end. Great game! Love that Luker smiling. He's just jazzed to be part of the show, smile.
