State vs South Carolina

This weekend was one of those perfect ones (well, a Bulldog win would have made it perfect). All of my girls were together this weekend- and that rarely happens! I was so happy that it all worked out and we were all together with our sweet babies. It was a first! And we actually got a good picture to remember the moment! I love these girls so much- they are my family. And how blessed are we by our many children! It was wonderful.

After the game we got to eat dinner with our crew at Anthony's. As always it was fabulous. And I have to brag on Morgan. I was nervous about how she would do that day. We had the early game so I thought she might not nap at all. But she did during the game! And she really did great all day. She was finally done at dinner, but we made it through. I'm so thankful for all our friends. Jeff and I are so blessed!

Kendall's 3rd Birthday Party

Today we went to Kendall's birthday party and had so much fun! It was a Halloween party so we got to dress up as Minnie Mouse! Let me just say, the cutest Minnie Mouse in the whole world. It was a great day- jumping, cake and hay rides! A perfect afternoon with friends. Happy Birthday Kendall!

Jump Jump Jump!

Football Date

This weekend Sissy came to Tupelo to play with Morgan. So Jeff and I had a date in Birmingham! Morgan and Sissy had tons of fun playing hard all day. And we watched our Dawgs get a win (barely) at UAB. After a too-close ball game, we did some shopping and had dinner before heading home. Thank you Sissy for babysitting!

Meeting Wade Brennan Byars

This weekend was another wonderful one. Carrie and Bobby came to Tupelo on Friday to spend some time with us and we were so thankful. I know they have those crazy college schedules, so it was nice for them to fit us in! Morgan loved running around in the backyard with them. On Saturday, we watched our pitiful dawgs lose another one and then headed to Memphis to meet baby Wade! He made his arrival on Tuesday which was a little ahead of schedule. He just couldn't wait to meet everyone! He is so perfectly sweet! I could have held him all day! Morgan, as always, was fascinated by the baby. She gave him many hugs and kisses. When he would cry, she would go up to his room and bring him back a toy. Very sweet, but I bet Mitch and Kristin are still picking up her mess! We are excited to have Wade join our family!

State vs La Tech

This past weekend was another home game for us against Louisiana Tech. An easy win, right? Not so much. We finally won in overtime. My blood pressure can't take much more of this, Dawgs! But the day was great! We had a full day of tailgating, which is always the best. We had a small group this time, but Sissy came and stayed with Morgan so I got to really sit and enjoy. It's funny how much you miss chasing after a two year old! The best part of the game? State finally got us some fireworks! My picture isn't the best, but you get the idea. Hopefully we can bring more of the same. Thanks Sissy for letting us have a big kid day! Morgan had fun!

A Visit to Murray!

Last weekend we headed to Murray for a quick visit. There we continued our football marathon- 3 games in 3 days! Thursday was the dawgs, Friday was Calloway County High School and Saturday was Murray State.

Friday we got to watch Garrett Schwettman kick and Morgan loved watching him! We went down to see him after half time and she was so excited. She kept saying, "kick ball, kick ball!"

Saturday we had a lazy day around town and then finished the day with... more football! But we did finally see our first win of the weekend. And what a win it was! Poor Racer One (Murray State's mascot is a race horse, and after every touchdown Racer One - an actual horse with a jockey - runs around the track that is around the field. Big fun!) was totally worn out from all the scoring Murray State did! Morgan thought this was the best thing ever and said, "Horse! Neigh! Neigh! Horse running! Bye bye horse!" It was precious. But the best moment of my weekend was when we were leaving. I ran into... Mike Arnett! I almost passed out I was so excited! Mike was such a part of my life growing up and I love him so much. Not only did I get to visit with him, but I got to see Sarah and all six of their beautiful children! It absolutely made my day. I can't even put into words.

It was a perfect Murray weekend and they don't happen often enough!!

State vs LSU

Well, the dawgs didn't get a win, but we were happy to be there just the same. A late Thursday night game was tough, but we weren't going to miss it! After tailgating with Michelle and Garett, we met Anna and headed into the game. Thank goodness Anna sat with us to help wrangle Morgan! We had a good time and hope we can get a win at our next game!
