Last weekend was our first trip to Hog Country for a football game! With two kids now traveling for the games doesn't come nearly as easily so we have to pick 2-3 games to attend and sell off the other tickets we have.

It was a late night traveling as usual but the kiddos did really well. Even captured a sweet moment of hand holding=) This year we have opted to stay in Tulsa with Brian's sister and brother-in-law. It's helpful in two ways: a) We get to carpool with them to the game giving us more time to visit, and b) his mom and dad graciously offered to keep the kids so we can go! So blessed.
Of course the game we choose to attend turns out cold and rainy! Cold I'm ok with. Rainy, not so much. As we suited up and prepared to head to the game my mom and dad surprised me with a mini birthday celebration fit with a Rick's Bakery hog cake and gift! It was quite delightful and unexpected.
The fans did a pretty good job of 'striping the stadium' red and white. For the first time EVER, the ESPN camera man was in our section so we hollered like idiots and jumped around like your supposed to when on TV. I also had to throw up the "A" that I think should totally catch on. Yes, Micah, I think it's cool!
Sadly, after a pretty fabulous looking game, we fell to Bama by 1 stupid extra point. Ugh. Moving on.
Sunday morning Brian's family surprised Natalie and I with a mini birthday party for two! Another unexpected surprise. Cookie cake, decorations, ice cream and gifts....what more could we ask for?
Natalie enjoyed opening her gifts and got some really great stuff! New clothes, new stick on earrings and bracelets, coloring books and a Doc Mcstuffins Operation game! Fun times ahead for me and NJ. Thanks for a fun party and making NJ and I feel special!
Just a few sweet moments captured on film...
