Boise State Football...About time!


Boise State Football. We're halfway through the season and I have not blogged too much about Boise State Football, yet. That will change. As the season continues and Boise State wins, they will be part of the BCS post-season talk. As they should be. They are currently BCS: #7 AP: #5 Coaches: #5 There are seven undefeated Div I college football teams including Boise State. So to those who don't think that Boise State belongs in the conversation for post season BCS play; I have one thing to say: Boise State BEAT Oregon. The Broncos wiped the floor with Oregon; Oregon went home and cried big crocodile tears to their mommies! So when Oregon wipes the floor with their PAC-10 opponents, Boise State OWNS them. Boise State OWNS Oregon. ERGO Boise State OWNS all those who Oregon has trampled. Purdue, Utah, Cal,Washington State, UCLA, Washington, and USC; Boise State was the biggest fish who ate the fish that chomped you!

"Boise State is the best team in college football and it should be the Broncos in the BCS National Championship game.

Every time Boise State gets a chance to show what it’s made of, it does. Boise State is a team that hammered Oregon, which hammered USC mightily. Boise State would do the same to USC whether it’s on the blue turf in Boise or in Los Angeles." - Scott Hansen

Walk a mile in their shoes....

Here is an interesting story from the LA Times with connection to Idaho. Makes you wonder if everyone had to deal with the hoops this couple had to jump through if it might be more simplified.

Walking a mile in an immigrant's moccasins
Ben Reed was once a conservative shock jock in his native Idaho. But meeting and falling in love with a Mexican national brought about a change in philosophy. They now live in Mexico.

The wedding was all set. The bride would travel from Mexico City to Rexburg, Idaho, where she would walk down the aisle of the Mormon temple in her white dress. She would marry that crazy guy from the radio who had been courting her.

Then it all fell apart, here in Los Angeles, in the bowels of the Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX.

Full House...



Have you ever had a full house before? I mean a FULL house, not just a room full; a house full. On November 1st, we brought baby Ali to church for her blessing. So Sunday night we had friends and family over for dinner and desert. It was a lot of fun to socialize, share good company and good food. Back to the full house part...

There were 
23 kids and 23 adults 

in our house.


Thanks to all those who came over.
Pretty full. But it was fun.

Nat'l Blog Posting Month....

National Blog Posting Month... what does that mean? It means committing anew to porting new ad exciting tidbits for all of you to read. Everyday for a month. I have to say that I live a pretty interesting life, so it should be easy to fill a months worth of posts. From blessing a baby, a houseful of guests, a plumbing disaster to Boise State Football. This will be the month like no other (re: blog posts I mean).
