Football Weekend.

This past weekend we went to Blacksburg for a football game. Brent took Friday off and we headed to the farm.  The kids had a blast playing in the creek - especially since Ant Ant let them get wet!  Then on saturday drove to Blacksburg to watch the hokies beat central michigan.  Colin hasn't liked the hokies since we took him to the marshall game last year and they beat the green team.  So the whole way up in the car he was saying "GO Chippawawas!"  and then I would say "Go Hokies"  and after a while Colin said "mommy are you trying to make me change who i'm rooting for because its not working."  haha

He had this whole routine where he would said "Grandpa ask me who i'm rooting for?"  and then he would say "Go Chippawawas!" He thought it was great to egg on all the family members since he knows this family loves the hokies.

Joel thinks the Hokies are #1.  He even started saying something like "eeesss" when I'd ask him to say hokies.  Pretty close I think.

 We tailgated before and after the game. The kids ran around. Joel discovered his belly button is a great place to put dirt. 

Colin changed his tune when he saw the Corps of Cadets marching in.  He loves playing soldiers and was amazed that the hokies had soldiers. So then he was all about the hokies again.  Joel and I sat with Sarah and Brent and Colin sat with my parents.  Joel slept for the first quarter and did great.  Joel was watching me upload pictures here and kept signing "more" and pointed to the pictures.  So I asked him "more football?"  and he nodded yes!  Glad to know all the driving was worth it for him. 

 Joel is telling Ant Ant that in about 17 years he is going to go to Tech and play football.

A beautiful weekend for a football game.  At the last minute Regis asked Brent to go to a wedding with him on Sunday in WVa.  So they left early sunday and had a great time hang out in the car for so many hours :) I stayed at the farm with the boys. I think Brent and Regis need more guy time together so this was great for them.  And I got all the details of Sarah Lovell's wedding. Joel wasn't too enamored with Uncle Re-Re because he took dadda away. Yesterday when the kids realized Brent had already left for work Joel ran to the window yelling "dadda...Rah-RAH!!!!!!"  haha almost like he was like oh no - Uncle Re-Re took him away again.

A long busy weekend but a very fun one. We all enjoyed it.  I'm campaigning for the extra thursday night ticket in a few weeks.  So is Brent :)  ha! so we'll see who stays with the kids and who gets to go.  Thanks for a great weekend Mom and Dad.
