Nevada State Champions!!!

Last Saturday we traveled to Reno (about 100 miles) to watch our nephew's high school team WIN the Nevada State Championship. I wish there was some way to express how much fun I had Saturday. Ed and I went alone since Haley had soccer. We did some Christmas shopping to do so went early and guess where we went. Yep, Cabella's! LOL Now I have the kids all worried about what dad bought them at Cabella's!!! I did get several nice things and one that I particularly want to share! Silk long john's. I know I know, this is a bit personal BUT OMGosh you have never worn anything next to your skin that is so wonderful. Now silk isn't in our budget normally so I don't own a silk blouse or whatever but these are to die for and on top of it, they keep me warm!!!!

This is Anth with his hands on Coach Dalton's shoulders while they were receiving the trophy.


Now if you are wondering about this picture??? This is a FIND WALDO picture. In the middle right of the crowd is our family. I am in the brown jacket and the rest of the family is to my right or behind me. LOL Good luck, get out those magnifying glasses!!!



Now back to this issue, the most awesome football game. It was at Mackey Stadium at UNR and we were a FEW minutes behind schedule because Ed found a discrepency in his receipt at Cabella's!!!! We did finally get in just before kick off. Lucky ED!!!!!
I was able to hear them introduce him from the ticket booth, LUCKY FOR ED again!!!
The weather was awesome, and the game was a nail biter! The Las Vegas team was VERY good as well and it could have gone either way. We scored first..7-0, then in the 2nd quarter they scored but 7-6...okay nerves set in!!!! Then it was just back and forth until the middle of the third quarter and they got a 40+ yard run! 12-7 them. EEEEEK. They just could not get those extra points THANK GOODNESS. We were getting worried. Then at about 2.5 minutes one of our runners broke away, went 40+ yards and now it us 13-12 and they have the ball!!! INTERCEPTION!!! thank you Lord above. And that is how it ended. They boys were all so excited, needless to say we were all crying in the bleachers!!!! My sis and her husband went down toward the field and I told Ed I was going too!!!! He was a bit hestitant but when we got there my sister was with Anthony and they were looking up to the bleachers looking for me!!! I said hey I am here and got the most wonderful hug!!! I love love love being the auntie to this young man and his siblings!!!! I will add a few pictures and share the joy!!!! Thank you Anthony for the most wonderful carefree, joyful memory!!!
