Beavers Victorious in Sun Bowl




Above: The bold move by Bernard (97 rush yards) to talk coach Riley into going for the 2 point conversion with 17 seconds left down by one point, thats how, we hard core beaver believers roll. The trophy for defeating Missouri in the Brut Sun Bowl and Matt Moore with the player of the game trophy (threw for 4 touchdowns and 356 yards passing). Sammy Staughter (8 completions averaging 11 yards/catch, and a crucial 40 yard punt return in the 4th quarter) breaking another tackle after another catch.

A rough day for the Big 12 and the Missouri Tigers, defeated by the red hot Beavers who won 8 of their last 9 games. In conclusion a great season for the Beavs. They beat five teams who were at one point this season ranked in the top 25; Arizona, USC, Oregon, Hawaii, and Missouri. Whereas poor Missouri hasn't beaten a team ranked in the top 25 since 2003.

Great Year for the Beavs, World Series Champions and Brut Sun Bowl Champions!

Christmas East of the Rockies





Above: 1. This is how they travel to Walmart in Mizzou. 2. Derek showing his hop's and dunking at church ball. 3. The three biggest and best fans Willow Springs has ever seen (Kailey, Whit, and Ev) 4. The suit jacket fan club led Alissa's team to their first ever victory over Thayre (spelling?) 5. Again the die hard sports fans.

Well after Whit smoked me in our semester's GPA contest (with a 3.925) we headed to Willow Springs, MO for two weeks. During our stay we attended bball games, made a few sonic trips, visited Springfield and Joplin, had some dance parties, loved church, did some christmas caroling, watched the Beavs beat the Tigers (see previous post) and ran over a coyote on the way to the airport.

Memories made at Brighton





Above: The girls get ready to ski, Dad about has a heart attack after seeing the total price for 6 adults and 2 lessons, the girls take a break, and Pammy and J show their stuff coming down the bunny hill.
What a memorable day it was, never to be forgotten. For the record Mere did take it to Les, which does not happen often. It was a beautiful day and really made Ev want to move to Utah.

Thanksgiving SLC 2006





Thanksgiving in Utah this year really was a dream. From the turkey bowls to the turkey bball to discovering Trevor on the Sports page of the SLC Tribune. We spent time in Draper, skiing at Brighton, Meal and sports in Heber. Two highlights were the Cougs beat Utah and the Beavs beating the ducks, viewed on Lesley's sweet plasma. I think it was the best turkey day I have even been a part of, just needed the Bjorks. It will be a tough one to beat in the future!
