backbloggin'

We are in Tallahassee right now. One of the best things about living three hours away is jetting "home" whenever we darn well please. Fabulous, really. It is rainy, the kids are watching Mickey Mouse (still in their pj's) and I was searching through my mama's archived pictures. What better time to do a little back blogging?! Ashton's first FSU football game. A historic day in our household. I know a certain daddy and certain papa that had probably dreamed about that very day many, many times.  Thank you mom for bringing your camera!  So glad I found these!  :)

We started the day off right with a tailgate.  Ashton honed in on this bag of chips and when Papa asked if he could have one, Ashton said, "No thanks, Papa."  After I assured him that the bag would be taken swiftly away if he didn't share, he obliged and broke off the teeny, tiny tip of one chip and handed it to Papa.  Serious as a heart attack with his chips. 

 

The band was warming up near our tailgate.  Daddy took him over to listen.

 

As if his first game wasn't exciting enough, Ashton had a super special treat in store.  He got to walk on the field with Papa for Alumni player appreciation day.  He was pumped. 

On their way in...

 

NOT a flattering picture, but wanted to preserve the moment.  Aunt Tatie and baby Hagen ;)

 

Practicing his three point stance while they wait.  Just like the "senimole" players.

Celebrities.

 

Waving to adoring fans is tiring work.  Especially when it's past your nap time. 

 

My fave.  Also my mom's new screen saver.

 

Very special moment for daddy and Ashton.  Their first of many football games together.  Notice Ashton's wardrobe change.  Grammie and Papa bought him his very own jersey.  Future "Senimole".

 

Ashton took this pic of daddy and Uncle Tripp during a lapse in excitement on the field.

 

His favorite thing about the outing.  Junk food.  And lots of it...  A huge treat for this primarily organic eating little man.

 

It really was a wonderful day.  He lasted until 7 minutes were left in the game - I couldn't believe it. 

This is the first of many Seminole games to come.  As Ashton yelled repeatedly all throughout the game...  Go Noles!  Scalp 'em!!!!!
