first game

labor day weekend always means the kickoff to the UT football season :) so so so much fun. every season is more fun than the one before...as the kids get older. ellis is seriously crazy for the university of texas. bevo, burnt orange, football players, cheer-a-leaders, etc. you have never seen anything like it. she is serious about the longhorns and was HEARTBROKEN to have to miss the game. you see, bo (my dad) has 4 season tickets to the games...and she just didn't make the cut this game!!! she will get to go to one soon...but we won't hear the end of it until it happens. beckett just runs around like crazy chasing after his football. he does show an early love for UT just like ellis did..he is days away from perfecting his hook 'em and is obsessed with bevo. i have a feeling it will be a fun season :)

getting game day ready. this was all her idea...she picked out the polish at the co-op :)

pls look at the size of hook 'em. this is what the kids woke up to on game day :) if there is something "texas" available for purchase, bebe will find it. ESPECIALLY if it is something my kids will love. they are seriously so lucky. here is a picture of them in their burnt orange...game faces on. not really...just smiles :)

and you know she has to pose :) that shirt is painted to look like a necklace. needless to say, she loves this outfit. thanks bebe & bo!

do you think it's a problem that ellis uses crown royal bags to store her pony accessories?? nah.

and on a related note...me, my mom and ellis were on the back patio this weekend in austin. ellis was playing with one of her 20 pinkie pies she keeps at the house there. she says "ok...pinkie pie needs to go to the liquor store to get more pink lemonade"...me and my mom just look at eachother...like, did she really just say that? i ask ellis "where is pinkie pie going?...i couldn't hear you"...and ellis says "to the liquor store". lovely.
