We've Got Spirit

TX-OU Gameday was finally here!  It's my very favorite game of the year.  

Get your Horns up!
Maddie and Lila did a few cheers with me, and got to watch the beginning of the game, but then had to bail to Lion King rehearsal.

That's ok--these two still had plenty of spirit!
I told Jackson that next year we will watch the TX-OU game in person.
In the Cotton Bowl.  And it will blow his mind.

We had to leave in the third quarter of the game to make it to Lila's soccer game on time.  This girly loved cheering for both teams.  Unfortunately, the Longhorns lost 45-40...

but the Bees won 18-0!  Wow!  Lila got two goals and 10 of 11 girls on the team scored goals as well.  They were passing the ball really well and everyone left that game feeling great.

Sunday morning began bright and very early.  The boys left the house well before dawn, and the girls and I followed suit around sunrise.  Jackson was the starting pitcher for the first game.  He had a great game, got some monster hits to left field, and fielded well at short stop and third base.  His team fell just short, losing the first one 9-8, though.  His next game was much less exciting and they lost 6-3.  Bummer.

It was a beautiful morning, though, and we loved being outside in the cool crisp air.
Silver lining, right?!

Jackson didn't stay down for long.  We raced home, he had a quick shower, and then his buddy came to pick him up for the Cowboys game.

These kids cheered hard for their team and got to see the Cowboys beat the Bengals 28-14.
How 'bout them Cowboys?!
