Auburn Homecoming

We are back from our yearly adventure to the Auburn Homecoming game.  It was a little crazy with three kids but we survived.  We started the day off with a trip to the bookstore and then went to get some Toomer's Lemonade.  Jake said it was yummy, just how he remembered it.  Next stop was the School of Accounting tailgate.  We loaded up on juice and food and saw a couple old teachers.  Jake and Julianna were surprised that Mommy and Daddy had teachers.

Since Jake has outgrown his Auburn jersey Brian decided to special order one for him.  It's going to say McNeely and the number 64 (Brian's football number).  Jake will love it!  We can't wait to get it.  After ordering that we were off to the game, finally.  The first quarter went well.  Second quarter went downhill.  Grace was not having fun, which meant Brian and I were not having fun.  18 months is not a great age...they don't quite understand how the whole bribing things works.  You know Daddy buys you a huge sno-cone and you be good until its done and then he buys you something else.  So we left at halftime.

Once we got home I asked Jake and Julianna what their favorite part of Auburn was.  Jake said "Everything!" and Julianna said "you know those orange people with the hats? I liked them the best."  She meant the band.

Sorry there are not the usual amount of pictures.  Our friend Jarrod usually goes and he didn't this year (and we could have used the help!).  But there are lots of pictures from other recent events.  Jake had an alphabet parade at school.  He chose to be M for man.  He looked adorable.  I started asking what he wanted to use as his costume.  He said "No no no.  I will discuss this with Daddy.  You know he is the man."  So they put together his outfit with the tie, blackberry on his hip, coffee mug and notebook.  So cute!

We have been having lots of fun.  Now we are looking forward to a visit from Nana in a couple weeks.  She is coming for Halloween!
