Go Broncos!!

Bronco fever has hit Boise in a frenzy. It is pretty fun how everyone here is so into the BSU Broncos. On game days everyone wears blue and orange and all the flags on everyones cars all over town. They are something like 38-1 or 35-1 in the past 5 years. Fiesta bowl bound!Melissa is going to school there now. Lee Joe really wants the girls to go to college here. He is very funny about it. He wants them to stay here and find local boys to marry. He is afraid if they go to BYU that they will find someone that will move them away from here. But Amber got excited when she came home the other day and asked us how much we make and said that they had a speaker in her English class the other day. He was a young man from Boise that is attending Yale. He said that if your parents make less than 40,000 or 45,000 a year you can go to Yale all expenses paid. She seemed quite excited over that option. Yale is very close to my dad and all his family. We will see what she decides. Lee Joe has encouraged her to want to pursue Chemical Engineering as a major and she wants to do music as a minor. I am starting to get an onslaught of college information in the mail and e-mails for both girls. Kelsea's program focuses on getting them college bound. There are lots of scholarships for kids in the progam she is in. That is pretty awesome because I don't know where to go with that. She told me she wants to be a nurse.-new paragraph- I spent Saturday night picking up 4 extra kids to take to a SND. We got all the way there and there was no dance. So we went to Wendy's and got a frosty. What a waste of time and gas though. We figured after the last dance, a grand total of 12 people showed up, they probably figured the turn out would be worse on a holiday weekend and we must not have gotten the word on it being cancelled but I had kids from 4 wards in the car so our stake must have been left out of the loop. --Kelsea will be auditioning for the JR high Honor orchestra on Weds. She is very nervous about the audition process. She wouldn't try out last year for the elementary Honor orchestra and she had been in it the year before. Everyone hope for the best for her! Violin is very competitive

We were 12 now we are bumped up to 8 in the latest. and two other polls like coaches and some other bumped BSU to 9. And on the news they tell us Hawaii's rank. That is cool we can keep tabs on the relatives too :) Of course I don't understand all the significance of it all.
