Another Aggie Game

 

I know most of my posts are about Aggie football -- but it really does take up a lot of our lives around here in the fall!  Especially with the first 4 games of the season being home games this year!

This past Saturday the Aggies hosted the SMU Mustangs.  Here is my breakdown of the numbers from the game from the Grid Iron Girl website I write for:  http://gridirongirl.org/texas-am-vs-smu-by-the-numbers/

 We took Jerra with us to the game this time.  We usually try to take the girls to at least one home game a year. This was the first time Jerra made it through the whole game and we didn't have to leave early!   After the game, we were walking back to the car and had to pass by the locker rooms, so we were able to catch up with some of the players as they were leaving.  Jerra had them sign her little notebook she had with her and we got a few pictures in too!  She was so excited to be meeting them and said (other than watching Johnny play) it was the best part of the night!

 Gig 'Em!  (and yes, she is wearing a fleece jacket.  It was 80 degrees and my little Texan said it was freezing out!  LOL!)

1st day!

 The kiddos started their new school year the first week of September at School for Little People.  This is our 5th year at the school and we are so blessed to be there. 

 

Bradyn is starting his 2nd year and has our beloved Ms Whitney as his teacher (she was Jerra's pre-k teacher) and we LOVE her!

 Bradyn loves his Cars backpack!

 Jorja is in her 3rd and last year at SFLP.  She has had some amazing teachers, made some super friends and has grown so much there.  Officially in pre-K now, our little girl is growing up!

A&M vs Rice - pregame activities

We took the kids to the pre-game events before the first football game of the season (vs Rice).  1st up was kids yell practice - which is held on the steps of my office.

Next up was the Aggie band.  The band was lined up and waiting for "Spirit Walk"- which is when the football team shows up and walks down the main street to the stadium. The Aggie band leads the way.

 

 

 The buses arrive!

 Bradyn is holding his verison of the head drummer majors staff. He carries it around with him.  He also wears a baseball glove - strange, we know!

 

The yell leaders lead the way!

And of course we have to stop by and visit with the PMC - the Mounted Calvary part of the Corps - Jerra loves the "aggie horses"

Geoff and I got to spend time on the fields during the teams warm up prior to the Sam Houston State game. It was amazing to be so close and to see things from that point of view.

So many reasons why we live Aggie football around here!
