The weekend of September 23-25 we had the opportunity to go to Boise and spend the weekend with Noal and Wendy and their girls and to see Annelise and Boyd but also to go to a much anticipated Boise State football game. It was Boise's first home game of the season against Tulsa. We have promised our kids for along time that we would go to a game. We were able to get tickets to this game. Everybody in the family was so excited especially Mom, Dad, Annelise and Boyd because little did my kids know that after the game they were going to meet Kellen Moore the Boise State football quarterback and Heisman hopeful. The kids had no idea. We decided that we would make a fun event of the game and treat the kids to tons of food at the game. We certainly got tons of food. We got popcorn, hotdogs, ice cream, candy, pop and donuts. Yah we ate a lot. The kids loved it. It was a really fun game. It has been many years since we went as a family to a Boise State home game. Kaelen wasn't born the last time we went. When we walked into the stadium and Rachel and Jacob saw what it looked like with everybody in their colors they were so shocked. They loved it. They couldn't wipe the smiles off their faces. We all had a lot of fun. Averien was great and even slept for part of the game, Kaelen was great until the end when he got tired and really wanted to go to bed. Boise State beat Tulsa 41-21.
After the game we met Annelise and Boyd in the sports center where all the coaches have their offices and where they do the news conferences. Annelise the week before had talked to her institute teachers about trying to get her nephew who LOVES Kellen Moore to some how meet him. Well they asked her to send them a letter and they would send it on to people in the the sports department. Well they came through. They set it up for us to have a private meeting with Kellen Moore after the game and to get some things signed. I was so excited when Annelise told us what she had done. While we were waiting somebody said so you are waiting to see Kellen. My kids were so excited and shocked when they heard that.
When Kellen came walking out he right a way said "hey Jacob". Jacob was so excited. We all couldn't stop smiling. He was so awesome with Jacob. Jacob for the first time in his life couldn't say anything at first. Kellen signed so many things for us. I am excited because we are now going to frame stuff and redecorate his room with Boise State memorabilia. Jacob though did embarrass me. As people know I have a little crush on Kellen Moore. I think he is a cutie but more so for his football talent and his awesome personality. Well Jacob said to Kellen that my mom had a secret. Kellen looked at me and said yah. Well Jacob immediately said "my mom has a crush on you". I was so embarrassed. Both Kellen and I turned bright red. Jacob I sure love you. He and I both laughed though. Kellen probably spent 15-20 minutes with us. Afterwards Jacob kept saying that this was the best night of his life. He met his hero and saw a football game all in one night. Not bad.
