OSU vs. TX game

Hadley, Matt, and I went to the OSU/TX game and despite the loss, we had a great time. Hadley was so excited to get to go to another game and was even more excited that her cousins, Abby and Katie, were in town and would be at the game as well. Although we can't wait for Hudson to come to games with us someday, he is still just a little young (especially for a 6:30 game) and he stayed with Mama and Papa. Hadley had a long day! She had a birthday party at 12 and Matt picked us up from the party to head straight to Stillwater. We had to visit a couple tailgates before the game and then didn't get home until midnight. Hadley was such a trooper and thankfully took a nap in the car on the way to Stillwater. 

First tailgate stop was to see Story. They did cheers, ran around the parking lot, and collected plates of rocks while we ate fajitas from the grill. 

And the second tailgate was to visit the Greens and meet up with the rest of the Holloman family. Hadley and Banks (one of E's long time friends son) loved bouncing the ball back and forth. He is such a sweet boy and Hadley loved having another kid to play with until Abby and Katie got there to join them.

Abby and Katie are here and joined in on the game. These four were all so excited to see each other.

While walking to the tailgates we looked through the fence and saw the cheerleaders practicing. Hadley squatted down on the ground and watched them until we finally made her get up and come with us. The cheerleaders are definitely her favorite part of the game!

Cutest Cowgirl!

Inside the stadium. It is SO nice being in the club level and makes it much more enjoyable with kids. At least they can run around not get so antsy watching a 4+ hour game. It also helps that they get to enjoy an endless supply of candy, chips, cookies, popcorn, and cokes! Of course, any kid would love going to the games...

Poor Abby and Katie have a Texas fan Daddy and OSU fan Mommy and although they had on their OSU gear they were very torn on who to cheer for. Everytime OSU would have a good play Katie was very concerned that her daddy was upset. Unfortunately, for us, their daddy went home the happy one. 

The things I will do for my husband and kids! Never thought I would see myself in these colors (except for Halloween) and my hands doing this gesture. But it was such a fun night and I anticipate many more OSU games in my future! 

End of the fourth quarter and Hadley was winding down. We didn't sit in our seats and sat towards the end zone where few people have tickets so the kids could run around more. At one point I looked over and Hadley had decided to make a little bed for herself.

Even with OSU's unfortunate loss, we still had a great time. Hadley asks daily when we can go again so it may be hard to go to any games without her now. Daddy has a new football buddy!
