Go Buckeyes!

This past weekend, we were really excited to watch the big Ohio State/Michigan game.  It's not often that we get the Buckeye games televised here, so of course we were thrilled that this important game was on.  We all got decked out in our scarlet and grey and were looking forward to an afternoon of chili and snacks.  Unfortunately, neither child was feeling well, so when I set up the tripod to get a family photo, we didn't get the best smiles, but it's stil a cute shot!  I love using the self-timer to get all four of us in the photo!

{And yay! Buckeyes....great game, great win!}

Jarrod's Surprise

It's no shock that last night's game was a big deal around here.  Here we are, Buckeye fans living in Hog Country.  So, needless to say, there's been a lot of trash talk amongst Jarrod and his coworkers over the past couple of weeks.  Yesterday, Jarrod was off-site in the morning and when he arrived to his office, this is what he found.  

His desk and cubicle area were all decked out in Razorback gear.  They even went as far as posting the ultrasound pictures from our appointment on Monday with "Future Razorback Fan" written above it.  I thought it was too funny not to share.  :)

Happy Saturday, everyone!

Well, today is the big game! Gavin and I are excited to watch OSU vs. Michigan with Daddy when he gets home from Syracuse. We're hoping he'll get to take tomorrow off since he's been traveling the last three days, and we can put our Christmas tree up. I'm a bit worried how Gavin (and the other kids that come for playdates) will do with the tree. Let's just hope it doesn't get knocked over!

Gavin and I had a fun time showing Aunt Sandy around Rochester. We took her to Melon Bean for some coffee, visited Strong Museum and the mall, and she was able to meet some of our new friends. It's always great to see family. :)

And, how about a picture to get your weekend started? This was from Gavin's first carousel ride a couple weeks ago at Strong. He loved it...for the first couple times around, and then he kept trying to stand up and was ready to go. Unfortunately, this merry-go-round lasted FOREVER!

Fun Times Friday

When I posted pictures from the Ohio State game earlier this week, I hadn't saved the pictures that my dad and Courtney took on their cameras so for Fun Times Friday, I just wanted to share some more pictures from last weekend. We had such a great time!

These are a few taken while tailgating Enjoying the new puzzle grandma gave me
Grandpa had fun making me fly!

I loved playing with the football with Uncle Tyler

This is a picture of the crowd on our way into the stadium

While we were at the game, my mom, Aunt Sandy, and Briana took Gavin shopping and to see the ducks. Here are a couple of Gavin with his Aunt Briana. :)

Gavin's (and Mommy's) 1st OSU game

Yes, we've been so busy lately I haven't had time to blog. Sorry...please forgive me. One of the reasons I haven't been on was the big OSU vs. Toledo game this past weekend. Of course, you know Jarrod and I are alumni of UT, so when we heard they were playing our Buckeyes in Cleveland, we jumped. It's a half way point, so on top of seeing so many of our old friends from college, we were able to meet my family there as well.

We stayed with Greg and Cor Friday night and were up SUPER early for tailgating the next morning...like 5am early! We got to the lot at 6, and instead of sleeping in the car like I thought he would, he was wide awake and tailgated with us. We hung out with friends and family until the game started, eating lots of good food and playing cornhole. When Gavin couldn't take it any longer, my mom, Aunt Sandy, and Bri took him for the day, and dad and Tyler went with us to the game.

The game was a total blowout, and considering we were all freezing (our seats were in the shade...) and we all had a 4+ hour drive home, we decided to leave in the 3rd quarter. We hit up Skyline (of course!) for dinner and made the drive back home.

Here are some of the pictures:

Gavin giving his dog a ride in his dump truck. The family shot...notice how dark it was!
Gavin's ready for the game!

The boys all grown up...takes you back to the college days, huh?

Loved seeing the girls again! Lauren, Angie and me...Thanks for getting the shirts made, Ang!

Love this shot of us! I love you, Jarrod!

Hanging out with Greg and Courtney is always so much fun! We love you guys!
