Go Dawgs!

The day after our zoo trip, Jared took Arabelle and Bo up to Athens for the Georgia vs Georgia Southern game. The kids were SO excited! Arabelle woke up at 6:30 and she's usually our late sleeper. They were out the door by 8:30.

Go Dawgs!

Jared said they were really excited pre-game and were dancing to the music and waving their pom-poms around like crazy. :)

Unfortunately, the game didn't start until 7pm, but they stayed until half time and got home just after midnight and the Dawgs pulled out the win (barely).

I'm so glad they got a day with Jared to experience something they all enjoy!

Go Dawgs!

I pulled out the UGA clothes for Mae and Zeke on Saturday. It always reminds me of when Arabelle and Bo wore the same outfits and really makes me realize how FAST time goes by!

It must be a big sister thing to make sure little brother is looking where he is supposed to be. :)

Saturday was our day alone, so we played a lot!

And Mae helped me make Arabelle's birthday cake. Obviously, she enjoyed licking the bowls. :)

And here's Arabelle in the same cheerleader outfit with skeleton Bo:

G-Day Game

Two weekends ago, Jared took the big kids to the G-Day game (UGA Spring Football Scrimmage Game) in Athens. They were SO excited! Both kids wanted to sleep in their game day clothes, but we convinced them to get dressed that morning. 

Mae and I were left for a day to ourselves, which was nice! Mae took over Bo's job of cleaning the silverware out of the dishwasher.

She 'helped' me get the baby car seat cleaned up.

And we played outside a lot!

UGA Spring Game

Last weekend, we all loaded up and went to Athens for the spring football game.

I was undecided on going, until Arabelle had me write mine and Jared's name on a paper. She wrote her's, Bo's, and Mae's down, then told me that it was the sign up sheet for the game and we were all going. Pretty smart way to convince Mae and me to go. :)

We left at 8:00 and Mae was ready for a nap pretty soon after.

We were all SO glad to finally get there! I had packed a picnic lunch, so we found a grassy area near the parking garage and had a quick picnic before the 1:00 game.

It was hot and sunny, but we found a perfect spot in the shade!

Poor Jared.....Bo drove his little red truck all over him while he tried to watch the game.

 I think the kids were most excited about the game food. They wanted cotton candy, but they weren't selling it that day. Bo (and Mama) got Dippin' Dots and Arabelle got a frozen pink lemonade.

 We all made it part way through the 3rd quarter before the kids and I had to get out and find some where to play. I think Mae was relieved:

We also found a coffee shop inside one of the buildings and they had giant cookies, buy 1 get 1 free. Giant cookies make happy kids!

Bo was asleep minutes after getting in the car.

 And Mae was exhausted, but not giving in.

We stopped for supper in Milledgeville and got home just before 9. It was a LONG day, but a fun one! 

Gooooo Dawgs!!!

Jared took Arabelle and Bo to the Georgia game on Saturday and they had so much fun! Arabelle went to a game last year, so she knew the deal (and the good snacks they had!). This was Bo's first trip.

They ended up selling the 2 tickets they already had and finding some club level seating, so they stayed dry the entire game. 

Arabelle was SO excited to have her picture made with one of the Georgettes (Jared knows her mother). When she was telling me about it, she said, "She let me hold the pom poms!!!".

Jared is NOT a picture guy, so I was shocked and really happy that he came home with this one!

Both Arabelle and Bo said that eating cotton candy was their favorite part of the game. :)

They had a long day, full of fun. So thankful that they got to spend some quality time with Jared and he was able to share one of his favorite things with them!

Arabelle's First UGA Football Game!

Jared took Arabelle to the UGA Football game Saturday against Georgia Southern. She was SO excited!! She woke up early and thought it was still the middle of the night, I guess (still dark out). I told her that Jared was already getting dressed for the game and she hopped out of bed and said "Get me dressed too!". 

She had a lot of fun and was worn out when she got home! The next day, she said her favorite things were the 'rainbow ice cream' and cheering with the pom  poms. :)

Flashback Friday

I'm linking up again with Emily at Journey of Parenthood for a Flashback Friday (yes, I realize it's Saturday)!

Today we're going to "flashback" to Arabelle in her UGA gear! 

Arabelle's birthday and dressed in her 1st Georgia outfit! I believe UGA was playing in Arizona that night.

Friday was "Football Friday" at school, so Arabelle went decked out in her Red and Black! One of her teachers painted some pom poms on her cheek and she thought that was so cool.

She sure is growing up fast! Hope you enjoyed this little "flashback"!
