Mini Recital

Lydia and R had their latest mini-recital last Saturday.

I'm so glad we decided to go this route through the Y.

The teacher is great, the cost is more than reasonable , but more importantly, the girlies love it.

Can't you tell:

Trying something new with the photos.  Click on the link below to see all the photos from the Washburn game last Saturday in Emporia.

Photos from the Washburn game at Emporia. Washburn won 31-17!!

So we've been going to the home Washburn games for a couple weeks now.  Been lazy about posting all the pictures I've taken at all of them, too.  These are from our last home game.  It was pretty exciting because the game was being televised on NATIONAL TELEVISION.  The air around campus was electric and you could definitely tell it was a special night.  

Cade's friend Riley joined us as well.  The pictures are acting funny again.  Not sure why they're coming up fuzzy.

Standard Ichabod tail gating fare.

Lydia's not a hot dog eater.

Lydia put on her own little pep rally for the folks in our area.

Wish I would've have videoed it.

Go Blue!

Go White!

C'mon Bods, Let's FIGHT!

 

She was actually doing her routine from cheernastics, too!

  

 Waiting patiently to get her photo taking with the cheer squad.

    She was in heaven!

(and maybe I was too..just a little..)

 This picture cracks me up! 

It looks like the gal in front of me has man hands.

 Just something about a night game.

 They had to bring extra lighting for the broadcast.

 Speaking of broadcast...

I know we watch many DI games on TV all the time, but seeing Washburn on national television completely blew my mind.  If you had the chance to see the game, you know how spectacular WU looked.  I'm still blown away and proud that we had the opportunity to represent the MIAA on the CBS sports network.

Oh!  Washburn beat Missouri Western State University 41-20.

Go Bods!

What the what??

Cade and I can't stop laughing at this!

Ready? DODGEBALL!

Saturday night was the annual Mater Dei Trivia night.  Last year was our (Rusty, me, Tim and Tammy) first time attending.  We took second or third place with our "Table Divided" theme.  We were robbed.  We had every KU and KSU piece of paraphernalia you can imagine.  We even had lights.  LIGHTS! So I knew if we were going to compete again this year, we'd have to bring it.  And bring it we did.

And in true underdog fashion, the Average Joe's won first place in the table decorating!  We might not have been smart enough to win the overall trivia competition, we were pretty enough to win best table.
Now let me ask you:

Could Tim be a more convincing Patches O'Houlihan?

"Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine?

No, but I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste."

"Yarr, I be the dread pirate Steve.  And this be my wench, arrrrgghhh! 

Now Steve has to drain the sea monster."

"I like...unicorns."

"If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball."

"Aim low!"

Because my friends are so freakin' awesome, we stole the show!

Not sure how we're going to top it next year, but I think we're all up for the challenge.
