Seriously. How cute is my husband? Just because it didn't end like we wanted it to, doesn't mean we didn't have a wonderful time. Black Friday at Academy because the boys needed gloves and hot-hands. I-HOP for breakfast. Good morning Dr. Pepper and french toast. Horrible game-day traffic that we should be used to by now. The Crimson Ride, because the bus is MUCH better than walking to the stadium. Walk of Champions. Why hello there, Nick Saban {and Julio, Ingram & McElroy}. I could have reached out and touched you! Brand new shakers because SD is superstitious. $6 coke in a stadium cup, because it's yummy even in the bitter cold. Hilarious pre-game music... unless you are an Auburn fan {sorry, friends}. A joyous first half resulting in the loss of voices and LOTS of ...
football
Sweet Home Alabama, Roll Tide Roll!
I know it's been four days since my birthday and you girls {guys?} are ready for a football recap. Right? Ella has been talking about this day for months. Since football season began, really. She couldn't wait to go "to that ballgame on tv." Thankfully, she slept most of the drive down and was ready to meet Big Al by the time we got there. We had been explaining for weeks that we might not see him, but knew there would be plenty for her to do on the quad. Unfortunately, she didn't want to do anything we couldn't do with her and SD wasn't really in the mood for the bounce house. Instead we made a quick stop by Denny Chimes and headed downtown on foot for frozen yogurt. Chocolate chips never tasted so good! We opted to eat inside the warm yogurt shop and watch a little football ...
Can I Get a Roll Tide?
I'm guessing you can tell from this picture how excited she is to be headed to Tuscaloosa for her first college football game? Wish us luck. I'm not convinced she'll make it all day! ...
Highschool Flashback
This weekend was a bit of deja vu`- some friends on Facebook have been planning hard for a long time and we all came together for an Alumni Reunion on Friday night for the Homecoming game at our Alma Mater. Since we live across the street from the school, it is pretty easy to go to the games on Friday nights and even easier when dinner is included! We gussied the girls up in their hounds-tooth and modified it slightly to reflect our black and gold. We even wore cute name tags with the year we graduated... just in case anybody needed a reminder! Since tailgating fell right around Sophie's evening nap, I spent most of the time doing this. She was out pretty soon after we got there and Sue was sweet enough to donate a chair to our cause. She slept as long as I sat like this and it was just ...
Alabama Saturdays
In case you haven't figured it out yet, our typical Saturdays revolve around college football. SD is a big fan and even when it's not his team on the big screen, he will watch pretty much any game that's on. In years past, he has spent almost all day on Saturdays at his parents house watching with his brother and dad, while the Ella and I did "girly" stuff until Alabama kick-off. Season tickets has thrown a kink into our system this year, although a good kink, for sure. Josh is spending all of the home games in Tuscaloosa and since I won't be headed back to T-Town until later in the fall, the girls and I have revised our game day schedules. Mommy, Ella & Sophie, Alabama v. Florida - October 2, 2010 This past Saturday, like several before it, we opted to spend the day with ...
It’s great to live in ALABAMA
Y'all don't laugh, but I thought long and hard about what to wear to the football game this weekend. Girls in the south don't exactly wear jeans & tees to the game, but since I'm not exactly back in my clothes I really struggled with what to wear. Not to mention, that I could find NO red dresses in this city that covered my bum. What is with wearing shirts for dresses? I finally got a cute denim dress and found a red necklace, wedges and sweater, but the real stars of the show were the girls. Even though they hung out with Garan while we were in Tuscaloosa, they had to be all dressed up! Ella's seersucker dress from last year was too short, so she wore it with jeans. We had a super-cute smocked gown that was Ella's, but since Sophie is a giant it was too short. Mom cut it off and made ...
Guess what we got today?
Yay! Do you know how happy my husband is today? Obviously not happy enough to let me take his picture, but pretty close. These were his Christmas, Birthday, Valentine's, Father's Day and Anniversary present. If he enjoys them this year, he may never get another present again. Now we're shopping for game day outfits and lining up babysitters. Even Ella has a ticket for one weekend and is excited about her very first college football game. ...
Umm.. Roll Tide.
I have a few more fun pictures from our night, but it's late and cold and I'm pregnant. ...
