First Auburn Game

Two weeks ago, we took our kids to their very first Auburn game (if you don't count Jackson going to A-Day when he was 11 weeks old).  Auburn played very well against Arkansas State, and we were proud of the kids lasting through the first quarter (considering kick-off was at 6:30 pm, and both of our kids are normally in bed by then).

 Our attempt at a family pic. Keepin' it real.

We had a delightful time reliving memories while strolling around campus, meeting up with friends, tailgating with family. 

 We first met up with our dearest friends, the Gross family. I met Emily in college, and she has been my mentor, friend, confidant since our days at Auburn. I enjoyed following in her footsteps in various activities and organizations at Auburn, and I cherish her and her sweet, godly family.

 This was the first time our kiddos got to meet, and they hit it off! Jackson loved following the big girls around, and the girls were so precious with my kids.


 This is probably Ellie's first time to be set down in the grass (and what a perfect place to try it out! In front of Samford Hall!). Needless to say, she wasn't the biggest fan of the texture on her soft baby skin. Abby Jane was so sweet to love on Ellie and reassure her while we gathered all the kids for a group picture.  Abby Jane has the kindest, sweetest, smartest little heart, and she is one little lady who loves Jesus.  Em and Jake have done a phenomenal job raising their sweet brood of girls.




 We got to meet Baby Owen McCay, 7 weeks old in this picture!  Andy and Andrew were college roommates, and we've enjoyed keeping up with them over the years.

 Aunt Beth and Uncle Blake were our extra set of hands, eyes, and ears with our kids at Aunt Myra's tailgate.

 Stacy and her family happened to walk by our tailgate spot!  It was fun catching up with my sweet nursing school friend, and our boys were even born on the same day at the same hospital. Excuse my red face...it's evidence of the heat and humidity on this Alabama summer day.



 Fun seeing the Stewart girls

Poor Jackson didn't make it out of the stadium. The eagle flying, spotting Aubie, watching the band, and all the action on the field wore my little buddy out.

WAR EAGLE!!
