Watching the Bears game in our fancy new Bears’ socks that we picked up at Dick’s.

IMG_9897

Matching socks!

IMG_9898

I didn’t care for the outcome of the game. 

IMG_9903

Rooting for Buffalo wore him out and he ended up sleeping through most of the Bears game.  Open-mouthed smile 

Happy Tuesday!

Homecoming 2011

IMG_9882

Earlier this week this handsome young man said that he was going to homecoming.  When?  Saturday. 

IMG_9870

That is usually about how much notice I get on things when it comes to William.   

IMG_9874

But he is very handsome. 

IMG_9879

And he had a pretty good time.  So I guess it was worth it. 

Happy Monday!

Hi. It’s me.  I haven’t been around much.

IMG_9776

Work has been crazy. 

And I’ve been busy…watching season 4 of Big Bang Theory…and trying not to get too crazy.

So-happy Thursday! 

Try not to let things get too crazy!

Buffalo Bills vs KC Chiefs 2011

IMG_9335

Getting pumped up.

IMG_9358

Love that the players were shaking the hands of the people bringing out the flag. 

IMG_9337

We are totally loving our seats and all of the flags that they gave us as we walked through the gate.

IMG_9381

Very few dry eyes in the house. 

IMG_9390

The flyby.

I was interested in this.

During the game I was getting tweets from Chicagobears.com so that I would know what was going on with that game. 

IMG_9652

The Chiefs fans hit the parking lot about 15 minutes before we did.

IMG_9678_edit

It was a perfectly beautiful weekend.  Love you, Daddy.  Happy Birthday! 

P.S.  You still owe me tickets to a Chicago Bear game…or 2.

Sunday Morning Tailgate

IMG_9273_edit

So…when I had to get up at 6:30 am…I was thinking that it was too early for football.  (I have never thought that.)

IMG_9274

Rather than help (heh heh…) I watched everyone else prep for the tailgating. 

IMG_9276

Slicing potatoes and onions.

IMG_9278

I was kind of wishing I could lounge around out here.  Have you ever seen such a beautiful backyard!!??!!

IMG_9281

And this room was beautiful with a monstrous ceiling and SO MUCH LIGHT!!  Not to mention the cute guy on the couch Winking smile

IMG_9282

Molly.

IMG_9286

and Winston.  He looks a LOT like an Ewok.  And he is so sweet.

IMG_9280

Having fun getting things packed up.

IMG_9294

The plan had been to leave at 7:30, but we didn’t take off until about 8:00.  This is the parking lot about 8:30.

IMG_9296

Brother and Sister. 

IMG_9297

Brother, Sister, and Tim Smile

IMG_9298

And me.

IMG_9301

First beer of the morn…day Open-mouthed smile  As Grandpa used to say-it’s noon somewhere…um…in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean…

IMG_9307

Heh heh-happy birthday, Daddy!

IMG_9309

Having fun.  I think he was kind of glad that he forgot his jersey.  As more and more beer was consumed, the crowd started booing the people who walked by wearing Bill’s jerseys. 

IMG_9310

The parking lot as the grills start to fire up.  Look at the sea of red!

IMG_9315

Cooking up ribeyes and potatoes and mushrooms and onions.

IMG_9317

Darth Vader came out in his Chiefs garb.

IMG_9320

I had to have some beads.  Because…they’re beads.  And I needed something to go with my Bears’ hat.

IMG_9323

Medium rare goodness.

IMG_9325

Breakfast is served.

IMG_9326

Oh yum.  Perfection.

IMG_9329

Time to head in to the game!

Let me just say that this was my first tailgating experience and IT WAS AWESOME!!! 

Happy Thursday!
