Go Right Through for MSU!!

I guess I'm trying to make up for lost time.  Two posts in two days! 

Anyway, this past weekend, we decided to take the kids to their first MSU game.  We figured it was the perfect weekend since we were only playing Northern Colorado (not a very good team), and because it wasn't too cold out yet.  If were against a good team, the crowd would be a lot rowdier and packed!  So, this was perfect!  We decked them out in their MSU gear.  They were so cute and had an absolute blast.

Sydney decided to sit with Grandma Polly and Grandpa Joe, so we took Lizzy with us to our seats.  We actually got to watch the game because Lizzy was really busy eating Cheerios, licorice, skittles, fruit roll-up, Nutrigrain bar, cheez-its and a hot dog...she can still put food away like a champ!  One day it will catch up to her.  Everyone thought she was cute and she clapped and cheered when everyone else did!

For the second half, since it was already to the point where we were slaughtering the other team, there were plenty of seats opened up where Sydney was sitting, so we moved to their seats and sat with our family for the rest of the game.  It was fun to watch the kids cheer, dance and sing together.  It turned out to be the perfect MSU outing...and we won, of course!!
On Sunday, since Sydney wants to go somewhere everyday ( I swear, no matter what day of the week it is, she always asks what we are going to do that night, as if I didn't work all day!) we took the kids to the Franklin Cider mill!  We met Julie, Adrian, baby Finley, and Julie's parents there.  Apple Cider and donuts are always good, I never get sick of it.  Lizzy liked the huge water wheel, she kept going back to look at it.  Somehow Sydney convinced us that needed to get a tattoo on her face, and daddy gave in!  It was cute though, she picked a little unicorn.  We had a really good time.


Later in the day, Sydney really wanted to go to Adrian's soccer game, so I took her while Lizzy was still napping and Jason was watching football.  She seemed to enjoy watching, so I asked her if one day she might want to play football. I told her it would be good to play on a team sport and learn the rules. And her response, which was totally unprovoked was, "no, I think I'll just be a cheerleader.  Those kids are getting really tired running around, and I don't want to get tired."  So we'll see...I guess she's not destined to be a soccer star...but I do want her to play on some sort of team!  I guess cheerleading could be considered a sport...I dunno...but not for 4 year olds!

To top off the great weekend, I won my football league for the week...no thanks to the Lions, who didn't even cover the spread...guess I didn't need them anyway, so ha!
