State Game 2013

Aledo made it to the state championship! This year we decided to be more organized and leave at 9 AM. But, as the late great Pâtés go, we were out the door by 9:30. This was actually a good time. However, we had torrential downpours this morning, the highway was shut down. So we had to go an alternate route. In addition, I was making Brant and Slade go to the restroom before we were leaving the house and Brant peed all over his jeans. This called for an impromptu changing of pants. The problem with this was that all of his jeans were dirty except for the small pair.  We had to stop by my brother's house and give him a ticket. 

During the warm up they flashed pictures on the jumbo tron of fans during the game that had been submitted through Twitter. This little baby kept on coming on and it was a cute little picture that was kind of funny. I had to take a picture of it so we could always remember it.

 We finally made it to the game, and had great seats on the 20 yard line. The only problem with the game was that it was kind of warm inside the stadium. We had to take Slade and Brant's undershirts off. During the first quarter I got three text and friends saying they saw me on TV!! Thank goodness I was not picking my nose or spanking the boys.

The game was intense, and at the endof the  half it was 17-3. We finally turned it on during the third and fourth quarter and ended up winning 38 to 10. Billy was so excited!!! We got to go on the field and congratulate him after the game.  The boys loved being on the Cowboy field.  It was a great season!!!

Santa 2013

I took the boys to see Santa. It was a Wednesday afternoon so I figured there would not be much of a line. When we got to the mall we noticed that Santa took a break at 5:15. It was 450. The worker gave us a golden ticket and then shut the line right behind us. People were mad, and they kept on saying can't you let us in. It made me feel really awkward. But, as we were waiting in line at Brant decided that he had to pee and he washolding his  weenie jumping around. I told him there was no way we are leaving this line. There were two babies ahead of us, and the photographer probably spent 10 minutes apiece trying to get each one the perfect shot. I appreciated that, but with Brant holding his weenie and saying he is about to go it made me a little nervous. Finally we made it to Santa and took the picture! I have named this year's Santa picture our redneck Santa pic. The boys look so scraggly and Brant is holding his weenie. After the picture we decided to ride the train that goes around the mall. I think that was their favorite part. When we were getting in bed that night Brant told me that he just had the best day.
