Fiesta Bowl

So I'm a little behind in the blogging, but this was a blog worthy event. We all (minus Lauren, who are we kidding, she'd rather eat dirt than go to a sporting event and Porter who was with Grandma and Grandpa Thurston) went to the Fiesta Bowl at University of Phoenix stadium in January: Boise State vs. TCU. Of course, we went to On the Border for our annual pre-game meal.

The "Buddies"

Like mother, like daughter


Bridger, supporting the Vikings (no they were not playing in this game)
Travis, supporting the Horned Frogs (that weird curled hand you see)
Johnny, very serious about sporting the Horned Frogs
Tanner and I supporting the Broncos (by doing our best bronco imitation)
Final Score:
Clearly our Bronco imitation is what cheered them on to victory.

Happy Birthday Momma...back in January

Well I should've posted this a long time ago, but I didn't. So John managed to get tickets to the Coyotes game right on Mom's birthday because that's exactly what she wanted to do, definitely not because he temporarily forgot that the 28th was her birthday when he was getting the tickets....

Anyways, it was a lot of fun. Jake, Bridger and I got to tag along while Lauren happily stayed home and babysat Porter. Unfortunately I don't have any pics of Bridger because he was sitting a few rows in front of us, so if you wouldn't mind, please use your imaginations to put him in the pics with us. Thanks.

Coyotes won in a shoot out! Exciting and fun game!

We celebrated for real at The Melting Pot later that week....yummy! I will try to get some pics from my mom's camera to post.
