Finishing up the '09-'10 NFL Season

As the big football fans that we are, it's always fun to make some fun out of the games whenever possible, and then of course, the big final game itself. We couldn't miss the chance to watch Tina's team, The Vikings, verses our Cowboys. I have to admit, I've enjoyed watching Favre do his thing again this year (as much as it drives me crazy to see athletes retire, and come back, and so forth :}). As hard as it is to see him in anything but Green & Yellow, he definitely came back with the Vikings, in a strong way! So impressive!! And I was happy for Tina to get to claim him as a member of her team! :} Though I never thought I'd see Dennis in a Vikings shirt (what a good husband! :})
See how Doug & I are smiling?......
"Oh...oh.....c'mon...."
Halftime...now see those smiles change for us, and thiers are getting bigger? But, see, rivals CAN in fact get along & watch a game together...it's OK! :}
And they kept getting bigger! Tina was good though, didn't rub it in too much (maybe with Dennis' help; but, she didn't have to be so nice! :}). Needless to say, the Cowboys blew it; but, more so, thanks to Favre & his team, they played very well & got to move on!
Side note: look at Dylan....he's happier than anyone to see the Cowboys lose! My rebel child! :}

4th Quarter...the point when some of us were hiding, trying to accept the loss!
Then it was time for Superbowl XLIV...The Indianapolis Colts verses The New Orleans Saints. A game with two fabulous quarterbacks, Peyton Manning & Drew Brees (of course we know it's the whole team & how they play together; but, you know what I mean! :})

Kaley thought she'd surprise us with who she was going to root for. We had to wait until she was done drawing! And the fact she put a blue shirt on was a good clue too! (she is my daughter! :})

And Bradon....that would be a C, for Colts!
And no question who Dylan was rooting for!
We got to spend the game with Greg & Angie, and finally get to see their new home! And always fun to see our cute little niece, Jazzy, too!
I believe Angie is in shock how much Bradon has sprouted! Is he really that much taller than her now? (trust me, I know...I'm feelin' it too!)
...and even taller than Uncle Greg now too! Dylan was glad to have someone else rooting for his side..they wore their jerseys proud! :}
Is there any doubt she is Daddy's girl?!
This was hilarious..this little girl had a thing for Dylan. She kept chasing him around, or found him when he went to hide in the other room. Here she was trying to get his attention by dancing around him! :}
He's so cute...I just luv our Dyl Pickle!
Such a Lil' Ms. Diva! :}
Don't let Kaley get a hold of the camera...or you may have a whole bunch of these self poses!
It was quite the game..everything you hope for in the final game of the season!
The Saints win 31-17

You have to be happy for their town! They've certainly been through a lot since Hurricane Katrina! It's time they get the chance to celebrate! :}

And now, let me enjoy a bit of NO football for a few months before it starts all over again! Don't get me wrong, I love the game...just always good to get a little break! (though the boys still throw the ball almost every day, so I am still usually tripping over the football! :})
