Wooo Pig Sooie

It is here, it is finally here!!!

We love the Arkansas Razorbacks at our house and we were super duper excited to kick off football season on Saturday.  

Flint went to Texas to see the Baylor game and the LSU game (double yay for both of their wins!!!)  My parents came to town for the Razorback game and Nana  graciously volunteered to let me use her ticket so she could stay with Cilla!

We tried to get a pic before leaving for the game, but somebody (not gonna name any names) was not having any of it!  

 This was the biggest smile we could get out of her...she was trying to lock her Momma, her Nana and her Poppa outside.  Little Stinker!!!

This sight just gives me chill bumps.  I love walking down the hill and seeing our stadium fill up with rowdy fans.

 My dad's tickets are on the front row and although some may not prefer this for watching the game, no doubt you are right in the action.

I Heart Football

It is that time of the year.  Besides Christmastime with my family, nothing makes me feel more warm and fuzzy than football season.

I love high school football.  

But even more, I love college football.  I love the pride fans have.  I love how it runs deep in family trees.  I love crazy fans painted in their team's colors.  I love little old ladies in their 25 year old hats adorned with  their team logos and charms and feathers.  I love little guys in football jerseys and little sweethearts in team colored tutus.  I love that toddlers learn to say their parents' team name right along with their first words.  I love extravagant tailgate parties.  I love student sections.  I love when teams run out on the field and you get goosebumps because the atmosphere is so electric.  I love Homecoming.  I love ESPN College Gameday.  I love living in a college town and the excitement that is in the air.  I love it.  I love it.  I love it!

Since football season officially takes flight tomorrow, we are busy as bees getting ready.  We had a quite little weekend last weekend as a family before life really gets crazy.

If you have followed my blog or know the Harris family, you have probably heard us talk about 

Merry Football Christmas.  It has become a little tradition around our house.

So, the wreaths are hung.  The gifts are wrapped.  And the yummy treats will soon be in the oven.  I will share pics later. 

I know, some may think we are crazy, and that is okay with me.

I am so excited, I can hardly stand it!

What a Week

Whew....what a week.  

First of all, thanks to everyone for making my birthday and my week so sweet.  It was a fun and special day!  Our dear friends are temporary living with us during a transition time and they so graciously agreed to keep Cilla over night so Flint and I got a quite dinner out, ice cream and a room at a local hotel!  Thanks Josh and Kelli!  Thanks so much for the greatest birthday gift of all!  Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures!  I was enjoying my peaceful, quite time so much, I didn't even think about it!   

Flint was in Birmingham for SEC Media Days all week so it always more of a challenge and exhausting parenting solo.  But, my parents jumped right in and were a huge help!

Here is a little of what Flint was up to this week.....

We almost started our weekend with a trip to the ER after Cilla took a dive out of her crib.  Luckily, she was alright.  After the doctor agreed to see her at the Pediatric Clinic, this momma was reassured that things were okay and we could get on with our weekend.

Cilla and I were so ready for daddy to be home.  We had a fun-filled Saturday as a family.  We started our day off at Rick's for donuts.  Now that is a good start to the day!!!  It was a low key day, but nice to all be together.

This girl loved her chocolate covered donut!!!

I have so much more to catch up on.  I have several projects and fun pictures to share and I have loads of laundry to fold and some house work to catch up on.  But, I think I might just go put my feet up and close my eyes!

This is just one of the 354 reasons I am so worn out...

I was making a fruit pizza this morning and when I turned my back to get a banana Cilla dumped a package of Chipotle Cheddar Tortilla Strips right smack dab in the middle!  Yum!  Further proving you literally can't turn your back when you have a two year old!  

But, I would not trade it for the world!
