SUPER BULLDOGS!

This past weekend was SUPER BULLDOG weekend in Starkville, MS.It has been a while since we have been apart of this weekend. It was Connor's first.

We drove down Friday night. We went to my brother, Robert, and his wife, Lane's house.Connor immediately rememebered their little dog Gus and had a ball. We waited for Mimi and Big Bob to drive in for dinner time. Robert received a phone call that their call had broken down right down the road. So we all went to the rescue. Connor was quite confused as we sat in the car not able to get out. I told him that their car was broken. As they unloaded their luggage, Connor said, "Big Bob not talk to me." " Big Bob not happy." "Mimi's car broken." Sweet boy understood the situation quite well. Once Mimi got in the car with us, Connor's concern was then gone. We headed off to Oby's to eat dinner together. (We did get their car towed and fixed.) We spent the night with our dear friends, Nathan (Nate T) and Ashley Taylor. They are our football season ticket buddies. We had not ever had the chance to stay with them so it was fun talking, laughing and just hanging out.

We got up Saturday morning and hit the road straight to Shipley's Donuts. This is Brad's favorite. Connor thoroughly enjoyed eating the top of his chocolate donut!! Then the boys dropped me off to go shop at the Cotton District Festival while they did "boy stuff"...to the bakery for first ever "bone cookie", walking around campus "soaking it all up" and a little bit of shopping at the campus bookmart. Brad had to call me and brag on his boy...Connor told him that "the bullies play the cats at baseball". We had talked about going to the baseball game Friday morning and that it was against the cats...GO BIG BLUE! So he remembered and told his daddy-which blew Brad's mind. I'm sure he was a foot taller walking around in pride of his smart son.For lunch Robert grilled out for us and there were amazing chocolate dipped strawberries. Mimi had bought Connor a duck on a stick that he immediately loved playing with.

The 3 of us then took off to the baseball game-Connor's first STATE baseball game.He had a GREAT time and almost made it through the whole game...that went into extra innings. He had to get his rest in before the football game. So he did miss the winning home run?!?! Atleast they won the game and we can say his first game was a win!

Now it was on to the Spring football game. Everybody was all hyped up about new coach, new uniforms, new offense, new...it was fun! Because Connor has been to many a football games he was right at home and enjoyed it fully.I was quite happy to see them bring back the dog pound rock. Brad was pretty impressed with the new offense...let's see, not running it up the middle every play may actully help us score this year!! Connor saw and talked about all hs favorites...BULLY, the band, the "coach"-which we will have to start working on the new "Dan the Man", the BIG flag, helmets, football, fight song, cowbells, etc....he truly is a little BULLY!

It ended up being a fun filled SUPER BULLDOG WEEKEND for us...GO BULLY!
