...game day...

Today the annual Civil War game between our Oregon State Beavers and the Oregon Ducks was played.  We weren't expecting a win but were excited about the game none the less.   We have a really young team this year;  many of our player are true freshmen, including our quarterback.  We have seen some great football this year and some not so great football this year.  Even with the loss today we are excited to see what future seasons have in store for this team.  Regardless of the score we have been very proud of our team.  They have shown poise and integrity this season and we are very proud to call ourselves Beaver fans.

We spent the afternoon with our Beaver friends that we tailgate with during home game.  As usual, there was a lot of great food, fun and laughter.  We always have a great time!

I did get a little bit of knitting done during the game, and in honor of today I knit with orange and black.  It's a new design I'm working on and I can't wait for you all to see it!

... A little football

Today we ventured down to Corvallis to watch our Oregon State Beavers take on the 4th ranked Stanford Cardinal. We knew going into today's game that it was going to be rough. Let's just say that this season has been a rough one for the Beavers, and leave it at that.

Our family has cheered on the Beavers for many seasons, and many of them have been loosing ones. I have told my kids that when I went to Oregon State we didn't
win a single game and I'm pretty sure it rained for all of them.

But Beaver games are not all about winning for us. It's more about being with family and friends, but a win every now and then wouldn't be so bad either. I will say that a fun tailgater with good food, great friends and our family almost makes a loss and the rainy weather seem okay.

And seeing this is probably the best part of the day!




Paytan is a true Beaver fan and has been going to games since she was 5 weeks old. She loves everything about the day! And so, the Beaver football tradition continues...
