Go Coyotes Go!

In case you didn't already know, Steven and I went to the same high school. And our high school has a really good football team. Even after we graduated we would go back for the games (never homecoming though, ironic no?). This years season was no different. Q and I were lucky enough to be there for the state play off game on Dec. 13th in Cardinal stadium. Q went through 2 outfits, several diapers and an entire travel container of wipes. He also got very spoiled by his uncles. I was happy to get to see my sister perform on colorguard. Sadly, my dear coyotes lost but it was an OK game and just good to be with family. The best part was when my bro-in-law kept telling all his old friends from high school that it was his baby. You wouldn't believe how many people asked him...at the end of the night he got tired of saying this is my nephew and just started saying, "You wanna see my baby?" Jeez Nate, what kind of reputation did you have in high school if everyone assumed Q was yours? ;)

ROTC Football Game & Veterans Day

Last Tuesday, the 9th, we went to the Alerus Center (the giant indoor football field) to see the UND Army ROTC play the UND Air Force ROTC at flag football. Q slept through EVERYTHING...including the drum line performance at half time. Steven and I aren't loud people so I don't know how he does it, but I'm not complaining. Army won, which is good because we went for our friends who are in Army ROTC. It was a fun night...I wish we wouldn't have been 30 mins late though (it takes a lot longer to get out of the house these days!)



Last Thursday for Veterans day, we followed our family tradition of sleeping in and then going to IHOP. We go to IHOP for all our patriotic holidays...it's random and there's no particular reason for it. Q came of course and...yep you guessed it, slept through everything. It was fine though because it actually felt like a real date. Oh and there was this family behind us that totally stared at us...well Q...the whole time. Well the mom and the three kids stared at us, the dad tried not to notice. We could hear the mom asking the kids if they wanted a baby brother or a baby sister next...awkward for the dad. Besides IHOP, Steven flew, I snuggled Q, and it was a good break from the normal school schedule.
