If Only ...

So close, and yet sooo far. BJ and I went to the Huskies Vs. USC fully expecting the USC Trojans to completely walk all over the Dawgs. To our enjoyment, USC looked awful, seriously this is the #1 team in the nation? The Huskies didn't look all that great either though, they couldn't put it in the end zone and all too often made mistakes at just the right time.

They made a game of it though ... no matter how ugly, the Huskies lost by only 3! Even though USC isn't #1 as of today (they're #2 now) it was awesome to stay with 'em until then end of the game. It made it worth it to go to a cold, semi-wet game and cheer on the Dawgs!

Let's hope the huskies can pull it out the rest of the season and play well. At least they've got two weeks now to get healthy as next week is their bye week. GO DAWGS!

Yeah, the picture's not great but hey back off it came from my phone! :P

Do the Puyallup

Ah yes, it's fair time! We all played hookey on Monday and went down to the Puyallup fair. I wish the weather could've been better, it was pretty nasty in the early afternoon & then cleared up for the most part the rest of the day. It didn't matter, the boys had fun and Brennen got to meet his hero ... DIEGO! BJ has certainly become quite the daredevil on rides, I guess a week at amusement park camp will do that to a kid.

As you can see ... Brennen absolutely loves Diego!

Brennen wanted so badly to go on the rides with BJ, then when we took him over to one of the kiddie rides he got in, got excited & got bored & wanted out ... NOW! So before it even started he got out, I'm not sure if he was more upset that the car wasn't moving when he was in it or when the cars were moving & he wasn't in it. The kid definitely has my patience ... or should I say lack thereof!

Brennen did love all the animals, especially the baby chicks!

Disappointment for the Dawgs

I do love the fall, college football, youth soccer is in full swing and BJ's team is keeping both Bryan & I very busy. So, while I love the fall, it keeps us very busy and I don't blog as much. Bear with me I'll do as much as I can!

It was band day at the Husky Game ... far too many instruments at one time!

My friend Deanna & I at the game

Anyways, I had the chance to go to the Husky - Ohio State game yesterday and as a Husky fan on the heels of two wins I had great hopes for the game. The Huskies held it together through the first half and went in at half time up 7 - 3. We had a glimmer of hope and the excitement of the 2nd half coming up. Then, the train wreck happened! In the third quarter the Huskies gave up a 68 yard touchdown toss to go down 10 - 7. Still not bad though right? Then the fumbled the kickoff and just like that it was Ohio State 17 - 7. Seriously, I couldn't believe it!

Ohio State went to work and exposed our cornerbacks & Jake Locker for exactly what they are ... FRESHMEN! The offense was three & out for most of the 2nd half and only when it didn't matter anymore were they able to put together a drive for a touchdown. It was terribly disappointed, but it just proved that the Huskies aren't that good yet. They're getting there but they've still got a ways to go. Locker WILL be an incredible quarterback, but he's gotta grow & develop and asking a Freshman quarterback to beat the #10 team in the nation proved far too difficult a task.

After the Buckeyes went up 27 - 7, this just explains the whole thing!

Keep posted to the blog, I'll be going to 3 more Husky games & hopefully those will have much better outcomes!

Labor Day Soccer Jamboree

It is fall, and quite honestly, one of my favorite times of the year. BJ's soccer team is in full swing and as of right now, the Huskies are on an upswing. Football and soccer, what more could ya ask for?

BJ's team played in a Labor Day Jamboree and definitely held their own. Had it not been for a couple missed offsides calls, we would have at least two more ties. C'est la vie ... all in all the Sharks ended on a high note and now they'll be tuned up & ready for the regular season that kicks off this Saturday. To find out more about his team check out their website!
