Ole Miss vs Memphis

thank goodness saturday FINALLY got here! if you know our family at all, you know that we LIVE for football season. to the point that (if you are an "old" reader of my blog, you know this already) we planned mary peyton around football season. literally.

so saturday morning, we were up and ready to go! kurt came and rode with us (ashley is in cape this weekend...).

we were in the grove in our tent by 11:00 or so. traffic - even that early - was a little busy with all of the people evacuating the coast. we moved to a new spot this year and the kids had all kinds of room to run around. it was great. we also have a dish (or direct tv - whatever) and tv this year. so - football was on all day!

here are some pictures - i'll describe each....

mary peyton and mac. we wish they could move back down here!!!!! (they live in tupelo).
mpb - 3 years old
mac - 4 years old

mary peyton on daddy's shoulders walking with mr kurt to the walk of champions for walkthrough. (sidenote - they are doing the walkthrough just a little different this year - and it's better. everybody seemed so excited! and went crazy when houston nutt came through!)

cheering to the band playing "slow dixie" (really "from dixie with love") after walkthrough.

just a picture of my baby that i love!

back in the tent playing with mrs. holly, mac, and south. (south is 2 years old...)

our family at the game. we take one like this every year (but might have missed last year - i'll have to check). i'll go back and put our old ones on sometime!

me and my angel. she is such a precious gift (yes, even when she is whining - i don't know who thought they'd label the 2's "terrible" because the 3's are SO much worse than the 2's! and most all of my friends have confirmed this!)

watching the activity on the field.

how quick our group grew! in 2003, it was just me, holly, tommy, and neal. in 2004, mac was added to the group. in 2005, mpb was added to the group. and in 2006, south was added to the group. no activity since then!!!!!

mpb and her "uncle neal".

as i said in my earlier post, the rebels won, so it was a good day. (and according to tommy, it was better since the bulldogs lost - to my state fan friends/readers, please don't blame me for that one! i pull for state, having grown up a state fan and all...).

HOTTY TODDY!
