Super Bowl 2013

We've had a snowy, super busy week! I am just getting around to posting a few pictures I took of my precious boys during the Super Bowl. 

They enjoyed getting on their jerseys again and watching some football 

(aka goofing off and throwing the football around)

We are college football fans, not so much NFL but we still had a blast!

Karson Bradley - I can't believe you are ALMOST 4! You are full of LIFE!

Kipton Lee - You could NOT get any sweeter. You have the BIGGEST heart!

We ordered a pizza, watched football, played, got early baths, and enjoyed time together.

It was a great evening! Karson was happy his "eagles" won :)

Mountaineer Win!

How about that Mountaineer Game last night?

 

Here are the boys 2 years difference :)  

 

 

WVU really pulled it out against Texas. Kevin was about to have a heart attack. I think this Big 12 stuff is the real deal. It's going to be a nerve racking season.

 

My boys were rooting for their team :)

 

 

I think I may be turning a corner.....and MAYBE kinda liking the Mountaineers.

 

Shhhhhh.....

 

Mountaineer Boys

It's no lie that I am outnumbered with my 2 baby boys and a husband in the house. It is evident every single day that I share a house with all boys: (pee on the seat, leaving clothes all over the house, eating everything we own in 3 days)

 

It is also very evident that I am also outnumbered when it comes to sports. My boys LOVE being just like their daddy and rooting for their Mountaineers.

 I am thankful that they love college football like we do. Just wish it were a little more green!

 

 

Friday, Karson had jersey day at preschool. This is the outfit he wore. I didn't get any pictures and I was pretty upset about it but he continued to wear it all day so it was alright. I subbed this past week on Thursday and Friday so Kevin had to take him to preschool. He did great! He wanted to take a snack for his friends so I packed up 30 Halloween Gummy snacks. He LOVED sharing and took it in so happy Kevin said. I think the jersey day + the gummy snacks made his morning so special.

 

 

We decided to go out for a Family Date night on Friday. We took the boys mini-golfing. It was so fun to watch them and they really enjoyed it!! I was so surprised at how well they did. Kipton didn't really want anyone to hit their ball and kept taking our balls and holding them. We knew we wouldn't be keeping score, but mainly just teaching them a new hobby and they really loved it.

 

Then we ate at Cracker Barrel and they boys did GREAT!! It was the best they have ever done in a restaurant. A+

 

All of the training, talking, discipline seemed to be for something after we left that restaurant. We had 3 different couples tell us how well behaved they were. :) I wish they would be with us all the time and they would see that we are FAR from perfect, but TRYING to do our best at teaching our boys to behave especially in public places.

 

 

Since today is the actual Mountaineer game, we had to dress in WVU gear again.

 

We were invited to Kevin's aunt & uncle's house to pick some pumpkins in their garden. It was so fun and the boys had a blast.

Looking at his huge pumpkin patch. Uncle John ALWAYS gives the boys big suckers and Karson wouldn't let go of his. That is the first question they have for him is if he has any suckers.

 

 

We ended up coming home with 8 pumpkins straight from his garden. I was so happy to get them because the boys and I are hosting a "Pumpkin Carving" party for our Mother's Club. They will be put to good use in a few weeks.

 

I LOVE all things fall. Pumpkin picking, college football, and cute boys being 3 of them!

Game Day - MU!

We had the best day yesterday! We got to finally see Marshall play. My ALUM!

 

Karson and Kipton stayed with grandparents, so it was just Kevin and I for the night.

Karson wanted to get in on the picture before we headed out :)

 

 

We tailgated with friends, then walked to the stadium to watch the game. We stayed until after the bands performed during half-time then decided we wanted dinner so we walked to Fat Pattys which is Kevin's favorite restaurant. The have the BIGGEST burgers.

 

Here is my happy husband in his favorite place!

 

 

 

Home Sweet Marshall :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's to hoping that we are able to have many more date nights!

We had a blast even though Marshall had a heartbreak game and lost to Ohio University.

 

Welcome College Football

Kevin and I LOVE College Football!!

 

We were so thankful that it was September 1st and especially because it was the opening games for both of our favorite teams.

 

West Virginia & Marshall University

 

I'm sure you know who he roots for! Like LOVES his WVU Mountaineers. Wearing the clothes every day almost. I get so sick of seeing gold and blue! HA

 

 

We have been going to the friends of Coal Bowl for the past 5 years. I twirled in the band for the first 2 years that they played against each other and then once I stopped twirling Kevin and I went the past 3 years. I was really happy we made the choice to just stay home and watch it.

 

It is so much better watching in your living room without the elbow to elbow people in the stands plus normally very hot the first few games. Last year in Morgantown it down poured and they ended up canceling the game. Sooo..we made yummy food and had friends and family over! It was PERFECT :)

 

Kevin has brainwashed my boys into loving WVU. But since I am a Marshall ALUM..I just can't put on that blue and gold. It would be soo bad of me!

 

Funny story: Friday before the game I took Karson grocery shopping and out for a morning with mommy while Nana kept Kipton. We went to a sporting good store to buy some Marshall gear. I bought the boys a new Marshall Jersey and bought it so both could wear it. We have 1 WVU and this new Marshall jersey. None of the boys would wear it! They were trying to rip it off and Karson even cried when I put it on him. They want to be just like daddy and wear Mountaineers.

 

Kipton ended up taking one for the team...and wearing mommys jersey! :) Makes a momma proud..cupcake face and all :)

 

Love my boy even though he is 100% WVU

 

We LOVE college football and have pretty much been watching it all weekend. It is so strange to be in the house and not working on a project or working outside on something. We have really enjoyed the family time with food, football, naps, family, friends, and games. It really has been great!

 

Pup came which is Karson's favorite "friend" (Kevin's friend from work)

 

We had a big "American" dinner with all the works. Hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad, beans, corn on the cob, garden tomatoes, desserts, it was all so good!!

 

Here are a few pics from my iPhone that go along with getting ready for football:

 

Baking football cupcakes with mommy

 

An awesome pin I bought...just to rub it in with Kevin :)

 

My boy at the pet store in his Marshall shirt! He agreed to wear this for momma :)

 

Tackle on the play! There has been lots of footballing, and tackling, and wrestling

 

Aunt Amanda came from out of town to enjoy some time with us!! Miss you!

 

Hope you are enjoying the football!

We aren't much into NFL but there are a few College games on today too.

Makes it feel so much like Fall!
