Football season is in full swing!

I was raised in a sports loving family and thankfully that prepared me to marry a sports fanatic husband.  I was raised to go to the game early and stay till it was over...so I always feel guilty when I choose to leave early or even skip the game altogether.  These days I just prioritize and choose my games wisely and try to accomplish tasks around the house while watching the game on various occasions.

For the second game of the season, my mom and I had tackled the daunting project of sorting all of Turner's outgrown clothes for consignment or handing down to others.  We started the project around 10am and I finished about halftime of the Auburn game that night (8pm).  It was quite an endeavor but it was rewarding to see the fruits of our labor.

Mark decided he'd take this beautiful girl to the game!
And I determined that I would stay home and turn this mess...into some type of organized chaos by the end of the night.

Auburn vs. Mississippi State is always an interesting game for us, and mainly both of us just want it to pass quickly and as uneventfully as possible.  I still think our favorite AU vs. MSU game was the 3-2 horror that occurred in Starkville in 2008 - we were both amused at the complete disgust and nausea on the faces of AU and MSU fans alike as they staggered away from the stadium in disbelief. It was so bad both sides just wanted the game to end!

Turner always wears the colors of the home team and this was the picture I took outside the stadium to prove to a friend which colors we both had on.  She loves to talk smack to Mark when the game is in Auburn...but last year she smacked me in the forehead with her cowbell in Starkville.  So she definitely enjoys her ability to pick sides (and most often chooses the side of the winning team).

This year we welcomed some of Mark's friends from MSU which is always a special treat!  Time passes so quickly - when I married Mark this young man was 2 years old and he just celebrated his 13th birthday!

Loving on her favorite Bulldog.  :)

And again...Turner's favorite game time activity...eating.  :)

War Eagle and Go Dawgs!

Oh goodness, I had lost ya'll. My blog ate my blog list and I couldn't find it for the life of me. Tonight I simply employed my mad journalistic investigative skills (insert laughter here) and found you! I feel so much better now!!
