Razorback Weekend

We took Blakely to her first Razorback game this past weekend.  Lonnie and I haven't been in a few years and we have always looked forward to taking Blakely.  The only way this happened was that Brenda (who helps me around the house and with the babies 2 days a week) came up to babysit the twins while we took Blakely to the game.  

My Dad has a condo there (and season tickets) so it all worked out perfectly!  Fayetteville is about 3 hours away from us so we packed up and headed that way when Lonnie got off work Friday.  The drive was not fun at all.  For some reason Emery decided to absolutely hate the car seat so I had to sit on the floor beside her for most of the ride.  Blech.  

But once we got to the condo it was great.  There are about 8 food trucks across the parking lot from the condo so Lonnie and I picked up dinner there and headed to bed pretty early.  

The game was at 11 the next day.  We got dressed and I even dressed the babes in their gear and Brenda took a pic of all of us.  I know this made my Dad so very happy.  All of his grandkids together in Fayetteville and taking his first grand baby to her first game.  So fun! 

We got to the stadium early and walked around, chatted with people and then headed in side early.  Or they headed inside early and I went to the car to pump.  

Her favorite part was calling the Hogs!

The game was AMAZING.  Our Hogs have been known to let us down but they played great and the game went into FOUR OVERTIMES.  Blakely did great even though she was definitely over being in one place for so long.  She ate the entire time we were there.  We ended up pulling out the victory and it was super fun.  So loud and everyone jumping around and freaking after the game.  I basically sprinted to the car to pump again.  

She's not asleep but just didn't want her picture taken.

When we got back to the condo the babies were getting sleepy.  We let Brenda go and Lonnie and I strapped the Benton and Emery into the stroller and took off to walk around campus.  Blakely was excited to see "Daddy's college".  The babies napped for the hour and a half while we walked around.  We showed her Lonnie's fraternity house and he took her inside.  I wasn't about to stroll 2 infants in there!  We took her picture in front of Old Main....just in case she decided to go to school there one day I thought it would be a neat picture to have. We showed her Lonnie's name in the sidewalk and she thought that was pretty cool.  

I had to take a picture of him by the Kap.pa S.ig house (even though you can't really see the house for the trees...we didn't want to walk back!  But those cars are the parking lot for members) with all his babies.  Crazy how things change!  

When we got back to the condo Blakely was worn out.  She passed out on the couch and we put the babes to bed early and enjoyed a bottle of wine.  It was a great way to spend the weekend and I can't wait to do it again!  

My little Razorbacks.

Around here we cheer for the Razorbacks.  It can be tough sometimes because they have been know to let us down.  A lot!  Ha!  But we still cheer and dress up on Saturdays and show our support for those hogs!  

We are taking Blakely to her first game in a couple of weekends and Lonnie and I are super excited.  My Dad has season tickets but it has just never worked out to take her to a game.  I mean she's been too young but probably could have gone last year.  But that was when I was early pregnant and puking all day so that was a no.  I look forward to the day of taking all my kids to a game!  Woooooo Pig Sooie!!!  

Razorbacks, Thanksgiving, and GERMS!

I'm not sure if any of you watch college football.  So if you don't, let me just fill you in on a little something.   The Arkansas Razorbacks are #3 in the country!!!  HOLLA!!!  This is just so frickin' awesome!  Let me fill you in on a little something else.  We play the #1 team in the country on Friday...LSU.  I can't even tell you the excitement across our state right about now.  Hog fans are crazy!  Oh and the #2 team in the country is Alabama.  The top three teams are all in the SEC. So we are ranked third in the country and third in our conference...how weird is that?  Needless to say the game on Friday is HUGE.  If we win then we could go to the national championship game which is in New Orleans.  I very well might drag my two month old daughter there if it happens because, ya know, there is no way I could leave her over night yet.  She might be three months by then...that would be ok, right??

We have Thanksgiving with my dad tonight.  His girlfriend is making the whole shebang.  Turkey, dressing, pies, everything.  We usually have it catered but not this year...I like her.  Not just because she is cooking either.  The fact that she is closer to his age than mine helps A LOT :)  I actually feel bad that I am not making anything.  But, in my defense, I didn't know she was doing this until like a week ago and I have a new baby.  This is a small Thanksgiving.  My dad, his girlfriend, my brother, my dad's brother and his two girls (age 19 and 18) and then my little family of three!  It should be fun.  I am actually looking forward to it.  This might have something to do with the fact that I have been starving myself today in order to chow down tonight.  Oh and I can't wait to put Blake in her Thanksgiving outfit....AND Lonnie says that he will stay with B tonight and let me sleep.  What a fab day!  


And last but not least.  I have become a FREAK about germs.  I am totally paranoid about her getting exposed to the flu.  I have used so much antibacterial stuff and washed my hands like crazy.  They are so dry they might bleed soon.  I am worried about taking her to my dad's tonight because I know people will want to hold her.  Makes me nervous even though I will make them scrub their hands to my liking.  It is so hard because I HAVE to get out of the house for my sanity but I feel bad for taking her places.  I am making everyone I know get their flu shot before they keep her.  And I haven't really taken her many places, just to this one breakfast place.  We keep her covered up the whole time too.  I do have a shopping trip planned next week with Sarah but I will keep her covered the whole time and I am prepared to  ask people not to touch her if they try.  Back away from the baby ;)


Any other new moms have this dilemma?  Stay home 24/7 and lose your flippin' mind????
