Weekend happenings

During the fall, our weekends usually include College Football. The great thing about living back in Texas during this time of year, is that we get to attend the home games of the Baylor Football team. It's nice living only an hour and a half from Waco and being to able to go down and visit whenever we want. I know Adam is especially enjoying this.

This will probably be our last home game before Peyton's arrival. The kids enjoy it so much. We were a bit worried if they would tolerate the heat and the fact that every game we have attended so far has been a night game, but it doesn't seem to phase them.

Last weekend at the game, lightning flashed across the sky about two minutes before half time. The game was delayed due to a storm heading our way. Adam thought it would be best if we just called it a night, especially since Baylor was already up 34-0. As we walked out of the stadium, we called to see if Adam's brother could come down from the press boxes to see the kids for a few minutes. Mason & Taylor adore their Uncle David.

This picture captures their admiration wonderfully.

Two weeks ago, we were driving to Costco when I saw what looked like a castle from the freeway. We decided to drive by and this is what we found.



It's a beautiful piece of property. I speculate that someone famous lives there, because it's in a tucked away location and it really isn't seen that well from the freeway, except for the points of the house. I think it's someone on the Dallas Cowboys or the Mavericks. 

College Football

It's no surprise that we are huge College Football fans. Personally, I would rather watch College Football over NFL any day, because I love all the traditions (I still like the NFL). With the opening weekend of College Football being over Labor Day, we couldn't wait to get down to Waco, Tx for the Baylor vs TCU game.

This would be our first Baylor game since we moved back from California. Not going to any home games during our three years in California was a killer for Adam. So for our 5th wedding anniversary, I surprised him with season tickets for the fall. This would also be the kids first time to go to a Baylor football game.

I had ordered a couple of really cute Baylor dresses off of Zulily for Taylor & Peyton, but they haven't been delivered just yet. Hopefully Taylor's dress will be here in time for the game against SFA in two weeks. While we were in Waco, we made sure to stop by the bookstore to look for Gold Rush shirts and so that I could get a comfy cushion for the game. It's killer to sit on bleachers eight months pregnant for that long.

While it was really hot, the game was a blast. The kids had so much fun and were the biggest cheerleaders for those Baylor football players. If you didn't know, they won. It was a close game, but a great one because both schools battled back and forth, which always makes it entertaining. We are so proud of the Bears. Can't wait to see what this season holds.

The stands were packed and the crowd was so loud.

 Mommy & Mason. Notice my awful tan lines from Memorial Day weekend. Yes, I realize it's Labor Day and they are still around.

 Don't let this picture fool you, Taylor was the biggest cheerleader all through the game. She stayed up way past her bedtime with a slight fever and never complained a bit.

 Aunt Emily took this of Mason & Taylor cheering on the Bears.

Thanks Aunt Emily & Uncle David for having us this weekend. We had a blast and so did the kids.
