Hail State! Beat Auburn!!

This weekend was the best weekend EVER as a Mississippi State fan!  I can only hope that this will continue the entire year!  College Game Day was in Starkvegas, MS!  That is so unbelievable!  Never have we hosted such large events in the city of Starkville as we have the last two weekends.  Last weekend was SEC Nation and this weekend College Game Day!  We traveled over to Starkville Friday to set up our tents for tailgating.  It was already a madhouse in town.  We got our normal spot and spent the rest of the day looking over all the sites of College Game Day!

 

And of course we had to get some Bully Icecream!!

Saturday we headed back to Starkville bright and early for a full day of tailgating and Mississippi State Football!  It was such a treat to be with great friends from college and a few of my favorites from Fayette stopped by to see us all!

Finally it was time for the big game. We had planned to just tailgate, but at the last minute two of the littles decided to stay at the tailgate with Julia and Trey so Savannah and I got to go to the game.  And what a game it was.  State took the early lead 21-0 and never let the Tigers take the lead the entire game.  It was a great defensive and offensive battle.  Everytime the Tigers showed a little momentum, the Bulldogs answered back!  I was so proud of my great university and the class and sportsmanship the fans showed after the game.  Everyone stayed in their seats cheering, singing Maroon and White, and Hail State!  So happy to have been part of the great day even if we did get drenched in the down pour!

 

The kids were so excited after the game to get pictures with a few of the players and cheerleaders!

And what better a way to celebrate a huge win over Auburn and being ranked Number 1 in both polls is to celebrate with a little more Maroon and White on Sunday morning at church!

HAIL STATE!!!

I'm like a year behind on my blog and I promise myself that one day I am going to get caught up, but I have got to start getting back on track and what a better way!  

HAIL STATE!  

My university that I love so much is finally getting the national attention!  After absolutely demolishing Texas A&M this past weekend we are ranked #3 in the AP Poll!  Yes we have to share the rankings with Ole Miss (BOOOO), but even with that you cannot take the excitement!  College Game Day will be in Starkville on Saturday for our game against Auburn!  We will be in Starkville too!   We do not have tickets (very sad about that),but we will have a great time tailgating with our friends and cheering on our Bulldogs from the Junction! 

Love this football season and our Mississippi State Bulldogs!  It takes me back a few years to when I was at every ballgame cheering on my Dawgs!

A Little Fall Baseball

Jack and his team played in a small tournament today.  Jack was so excited to be playing in pink today to honor is Nana who is a survivor of breast cancer.  They didn't fair so well in pool play, so the silver bracket is where we played the remainder of the day.  The boys played exceptionally well in bracket play!  The Pirates won the Silver bracket.  Super excited for these sweet boys.  Especially for my little man who hit another homerun today!  Yay Jack!

 

Following the Scriptures

Our sweet Julia was baptized today.  We are thrilled beyond words that our children will spend eternity with us.  We were so blessed to have most of our family in church to witness her baptism and a very special family.  

Julia's 2nd Grade Play

Julia is such a little ham and loves being on stage.  She was so excited that she was selected to have 2 parts in the play.  First she got to be her teacher, Mrs. Rhodes and then she got to be a snowflake.  She was precious as was the entire play.

 

Christmas Day 2013

Christmas Day is always celebrated at my parents house.  We have little time with just our family and then all the Davis family roles in for the afternoon of food and presents.  I never get very many pictures because everyone is all over the place and I have to keep up with the kiddos.
