Jacob's First Coug Game

Usually when we head to Pullman for a football game we have family that will babysit the boys. Last Saturday they all deserted us! So, we took both of them to the game for the first time. Jackson had gone as a baby, which was very easy as he was in the "sit on your lap" stage. Now that both boys are VERY active we were a bit reluctant, but also excited. They both did great although they didn't watch the game much. JJ loved all the cheering (we actually had a lot to cheer about this game) and of course the snacks! I headed home with the boys at half-time as the weather took a turn and started to get cold and wet. This was a great choice as the game took over 4 hours!

Not the best "quality" picture, but you can see the joy on Jacob's face of getting to suck on a Push-Pop! These kept them busy for about 1/2 an hour. Unfortunately, they kept me busy too as I was having to wipe down their hands and clothes from the dripping spit!

It was fun to walk through campus with the boys. Although JJ didn't really understand that this is where we spent our college years, it was still exciting to share it with him. Here he is with the "silly book guy".

We found some "silly ears" (everything is silly these days) in The Bookie.

The night before the game had perfect weather! Grandma and Grandpa had a fire and s'mores going when we pulled in. The kids rode "bikes" in the driveway for awhile after they had their dessert. Marcus and I decided to wait to have dinner until we got there as he was craving Sella's. Doesn't that name make you hungry, all you former Cougs!

AND SOME EXTRA PICS....

Jackson's friend Noa was over to play and they decided to play "going to bed". JJ would tuck Noa in and give her a kiss goodnight. He would check for monsters under the bed and turn off the lights. Then repeat. They played this for about 20 minutes!

Lately, if Jackson has to go sit in time-out Jacob will go over to the stairs and sit with him, even if the offense was against him! It is so cute, I only wish they were that fond of each other all the time!

And I will leave you with this wonderful picture! A friend reminded me that we (moms) usually only take pictures of our smiling kids. Will we forget their sad/angry faces when they grow up? So, here is my darling, being not-so-darling!
