Boiler Up!

Or not.....
We went to the EndZone to watch Purdue play UConn last week.....and were sadly disappointed. Dan and I have this competition going for our brackets. Unfortunately, neither of us are doing well at it......I'm not even sure who is winning, to be honest. :) Here's some pictures from the night!

Best Friends......Myself, Dan and Marcus

Not sure what they're doing here.....biting their nails? ?? Hmm.... (Mark and Dan)

We took this picture about 400 times to get a good one.....and this was the best that we got. Nice smile, babe!

Rick and Rhona.....Rick was also being less than cooperative for this photo.

The guys....Dan, Larry, Mark, Rick and Anthony

Marcus, Rick and Larry!

The Oaken Bucket

Everyone has been bugging us to go tailgating all Purdue season. We've always either had a conflict, or a good excuse not to go. But, we got cornered early in the year and committed to the IU/PU game this past weekend. Of course, it was the last game, so we couldn't use the excuse "We'll come next time!" anymore......and it was the coldest day of the year! WOW! It was bitter.

Baker and Leslie stayed the night at our house the evening before, and they LITERALLY were up at 6:00 to go to the intramural field early. Uuuuhhhhhhh, NO THANKS! We got there around 9:00. Brent had made some chili soup, and Dan and I stopped on the way to pick up coffee (appropriately mixed with Bailey's), so we did have something to keep us warm. We didn't need a cooler to keep the beer cold, though. It did fine on its own. :)

We didn't go to the game, but we did listen to it on the radio while we were on our way to Logansport to pick up Trevor. :) The result was astounding! Purdue won the game 62-10, on Joe Tiller's last game at Ross Ade. Bittersweet ending to a horrible season. :)

Here's some pictures.

Mark and Brent. They look a little chilled.

Leslie, Ryan and I. (Yep, that's right, even though I was cold, I was still drinking a beer!)

Gretchen, Leslie and Jamie......three of my favorite people!

Dan and I. He looks half asleep.

And even MORE asleep in THIS picture of him and Leslie. Isn't he adorable?

My Best Friend Baker. Awww..... :)

Boiler Up!!

Or whatever that means..... (If anyone actually knows what "Boiler Up" means, I'd be interested in knowing. Is that like "Fire Up?" or something???....)

Purdue played Central Michigan this past weekend. I was able to get some good tickets from work, and Dan took Trevor with him. (I was still recovering from the 5K the night before. Well, maybe not the race, but the activities AFTER the race.)

It ended up being a great game, that came down to the last minute or so....Trevor said that he brings Purdue luck, because every time he's been to a game, they have won. :) They both had a good time!

At the game. Doesn't he look JUST like Dan?

TOUCHDOWN!!!

Olivia and Mommy tailgating. She was exhausted. Elizabeth was tailgating, even though she is due to have a baby any second. Maybe throwing a few cornhole bags around would provoke that little guy to come on out here! :)

Before the game......
