It's that time of year again...

Yes, that's right...it's Cat/Griz week. The time when the entire Daws/Weedin clan completely lose their minds in anticipation along with most of our close friends & aquaintances. This year the game is in Missoula & we are confident our Bobcats are going to go over there & beat them on their home turf! In the past, I have posted gimmicky things to get a laugh about Cat/Griz...this year I am taking a more motivational/positive approach as I am very confident in our chances this Saturday.

Here is a great article written about my dad several years ago on Cat/Griz week:

And a very motivational video about our Cats season thus far:

"Now is the time. This is the place."

(note: this is also the time when I turn into a testostrone-fueled dude for 7 days & have to turn to working out to release the stress.)

Nebraska Trip!

We went to visit our family & root (unsuccessfully) on the Huskers in October & had a great trip! Brady got to go a couple days early with Grammy & Grampy while Jeff & I & Bryce (Lez had to work in San Francisco) road tripped it! It is always so much fun to see everyone & well worth the drive. The only bummer of the trip was not watching our Big Red win & not having Lez there...Brady had so much fun going early with Grammy & Grampy & he is still completely obsessed with The Farm! :)

The Most Beautiful Stadium in the World...oh & the 3 road trip buddies at the tailgate!

Literally a Sea of Red walking into the game

Grammy & Grampy looking cute together!

At dinner with Uncle Jeff & cousin Drew

Marching Band making a stop at the bar we were at on Friday night

Having beers at Aunt Kay & Jeff's house-such a cool setting!

Unfortunately I made the error of wearing what I thought was a "vintage red" tank top, only to find out it's actually pink...oh boy...

Jeff was super focused on keeping his eyes open for pictures on this trip...can you tell?

Cousin Picture! We had so much fun with all the cousins & their significant others! Got to spend good time with both the Weedin side & the Armbruster side.

Trying to keep our spirits up after the terrible loss at Sidetracks our favorite Lincoln bar

Luke & Erica, Seth & Betsy, & Drew & Paige before the game

This is the only photo I got from our fun BBQ at Uncle Mike's house with the Garrett family-Brady & little Libby played really well together & even played with a snake outside for a long time--Brady LOVED the snake!

Uncle Craig put Brady right to work at the farm--here he is sweeping corn into the dryer

Combine pictures--he spent a lot of time with Craig in there this trip

Craig said he basically never stopped talking & asking questions while they were in there together...I said "welcome to my world." :)

Brady stayed with Craig & Shelly while we were in Lincoln for the game & festivities (THANK YOU GUYS!!) He & Shelly picked tomatoes from the garden in this one

Gathering leaves

They also spent a lot of time with Layla--can you tell this two are family??!! :)

Shopping at the toy store

Playing at the park--geared up in Husker gear!

Sleepover time!

Here we are on the way home--he has to be one of the best little roadtrippers around!! Livvy stayed home with Nana & Papa (Thank you guys!!) because she is not quite as good right now in the car...especially for a 15 hour trip. She had loads of fun with them & loved being the center of attention all the time! :)

I am really bummed because I didn't get any pictures with the grandmas! :( Next time!

Halloween 2010

We had a great Halloween this year! Weather was great, kids' costumes were a hit, and Brady was a total pro! :)

On Friday afternoon we met up with Jenny, Maddy & Taylor for our first Downtown Bozeman trick or treating event! It was a smidge chaotic, but the kids had fun seeing all the kids costumes, got lots of candy & Livvy was the HIT of the party!! Everybody loved Elmo & our little T-Rex was pretty proud of his tough costume too! One little girl actually ran over to Liv & gave her a big hug yelling "Elmo!!!!" :)

The kids checking out Maddy's cute monkey costume!

We also met up with Greta (butterfly in the background) and Elsye (Dorothy!)

On Halloween we were invited over to The Johnsons house for dinner & trick or treating-they live in a neighborhood packed with families so it was perfect!

Kiddos eating their pre-game meal--lots of carbo loading!!

All ready to hit the streets!

Nana & Papa dropped by to give the kids carmeled apples & take some photos but I never got a picture with the kids & them! :(

Maddy & Liv starting off...how cute is this picture?!

Brady had to get a closer look at the creepy witch at this house!

Honestly...too cute for words

We made a stop at Joe & Terry Johnson's house & they got these fun M & M toys--a big hit!

Livvy hamming it up sans Elmo costume...reminded us of Penny Lane from Almost Famous

Little Taylor was a sweet little bumble bee!
