College Gameday

It was Labor Day Weekend which means college football.  Gameday decided to come to Sundance Square in downtown Ft. Worth.  We figured, why not take the boys?!  They had never seen it before.  Brody had his first games of the fall season that afternoon, but we had plenty of time!

There were so many Auburn and Oregon fans because they were playing in the Cowboys stadium (which is why Gameday was in town).  But there were tons of other fans there, so it was fun to see! We even heard a couple of Hot Toddys.

 We thought the kids would love it, but I will be honest.....they were like "what are we supposed to do the whole time" and "you thought this would be fun?!"  Ha.

 BUT we met up with some friends which made it much better.
They did the ESPN 360 picture.

It really was a ton of fun.

Just a couple of Dads and a stroller.

 We came back home and got ready for our first baseball games of the season!  Brody is playing for the 7U Keller Indians.  Keller puts together games for only the KYA elite and select teams to play each other before real games start.  We played the 7U Chargers and 8U Chargers Saturday.  We figured the 8U team would crush us because a year at that age is HUGE.  But they played so well and won both games!  Pretty impressive!

Here is Brody up at bat with our fundraiser behind him.  We were able to put together an awesome Yeti cooler filled with all kinds of donated goodies to raffle off.

Best Buds

Cutest little team ever.
We made them smile in between games.

 Winner Winner

This is the smile when your neighbor smokes ribs and knows they are your favorite ribs in the world. They brought a whole rack of ribs down for the boys (bc my kids constantly tell Richard his ribs are the best).  Pure happiness.

Sunday morning churchin' it.

And then baseball again right after.
He decided to wear the knickers and I thought they were so cute.

Most of the older brothers hadn't started baseball yet so this is what Mason did the entire weekend.  We never had any clue where they were and I think there were about 10 of them hanging out at one point.  No complaining from him about bing out there in the heat.  He had just as much fun!

Since it was all Keller games, coach moved them around a ton.  He was soooo happy to play first....even thought he is a shrimp. =)

And left

 And third.
What was fun is that even moving all the kids around more than usual....they were awesome.  They can really all play wherever.  We won our first game by a lot.  Then we played the 8U Indians.  Indians are the first team, and Chargers are the second team always.  So playing the best 8U team, we really thought we would get crushed.  We actually were winning most of it until the end.  They played sooooo well!  It was so much fun to watch.  We went 3-1 which was impressive.  Fun way to start the season.

 Monday was Labor Day and Mason went to the waterpark with his friends.  Brody, John, and I did a whole lotta nothing.  I even baked an apple pie because I was so bored!

This is my view every morning driving to work.  Such a massive,  wide open sky here in TX.
So pretty.

I had to work for my coworker this week, so the boys were picked up by my neighbor 3 days.  They've really made theirselves at home over there now.  Baby Jack was playing video games with them too.

So happy it's Friday.
(And Brody was not into smiling so he grinned wayyyy too big)

Working on friendship bracelets in first grade.

Here is my Friday tip....
NEVER, and I mean NEVER purchase a home from someone with a similar last name.  The post office cringes when I walk in....
