Go Dawgs!!!!

This past weekend we ventured over to Starkville for the Bulldog/Gator matchup. It was so exciting for many reasons...our first and probably only game this season, Jackson's first game, and just the game itself! We tailgated, attempted to have Jackson's face painted, watched the walk through, and had lots of fun.

He did not enjoy the face painting as you can see. Needless to say, I will not be painting his nose for his Halloween costume! This trial run was a FAILURE!
Yetti, Jackson, and I hung out in the bookstore where Jackson found his buddy "Bully" the bullmoose (at least that is what we think it is). Yetti said he saw it and immediately took to it which is funny because he is not much into stuffed animals. It is a cute little thing with a moose head, long Velcro-arms and legs (like a monkey), and a MSU jersey. They have pretty much been inseparable since Jackson laid eyes on it. He even cried when the cashier took it to scan at checkout. We like Bully because he can be "hugging" Jackson's neck and not be dropped or lost. The next few photos show Bully's debut into our lives...

Jackson loves to bite Bully's antlers. He also loves to kiss him. So sweet...

Papa took Jackson over to the walk through. We were hoping Jackson would high five a few players, but he was took distracted by the crowds.Jackson loved every single bit of the game. He loved the cheering, the cowbells, the jumbo-tron, and the crowd. We sat in great chairback, covered seats. It was a pretty chilly night, but we were away from the elements. It was perfect for Jackson.
He even cheered the dawgs on by clapping and yelling...Very into the game...

Although we lost, it was an incredible game. So many memories were made! I forgot my camera, so Yetti had to give me all of hers. I know we have more pictures. I took some great ones of Jonathan and Jackson before the game. Will post them when I get them...

P.S. Yes I am now a brunette. Just trying a new look.
