Ole Miss vs. Texas

The day started out with so much excitement and anticipation.  We drove up to Oxford the day of the game since Matt had to work a high school football game the night before and the Ole Miss game didn't start until 8:15 PM!!  The kids took a much needed nap in the car on our way there and were little troopers in The Grove.  

Franny Bean and I made a trip to the Phi Mu house!  Her first of many and ran into Austin and Aunt Shay.

Franny and Austin were able to get down and play!  I tied up her dress so she could crawl, but explained that was not going to be acceptable when she got to college.

 They had the best time playing with a paper plate from The Grove.  It's the simple things in life.

 Then it was time for a nap.  It was hot and there was SO much going on she was not wanting a nap at all.

But thanks to super Dad he got her down for a nice little nap!  The one below is a framer!

 J-Man could have stood a nap, but we had no such luck!!  He rallied for the 8:15 kick-off like a champ though!

  Look at this sleeping beauty!!  Couldn't you just eat her up!

After a nap it was party time in the play-pen!  They had the best time playing in there!

 Around 7:30 it was off to the game while Gaga stayed at the tent with Mary Frances.  Thanks Gaga!!

This is one of my favorite pictures!!  We showed him how to put his hand over his heart while they sang the national anthem!

 Then we sent Gaga a picture thanking her for staying with Franny so we could take J-Man into the game!

And before I took Jackson back to the tent at half time I took him down to the sidelines to see Bevo or Bebo and Jackson calls him.  He kept saying "big cow, moo."  He loved being in the game and all of the sights and sounds that went along with it.  We are hoping he starts requesting to watch football rather than Mickey Mouse before too long.  

I hate our Rebels lost, but our offense was a bright spot and we knew this season would be a rebuilding year.  It's tough being a Rebel, but I love every minute of it!  Our kids don't stand a chance.  They bleed red and blue already!  Hotty Toddy!
