Stories Behind the Pictures!

Seeing as how I just now blogged about the last day on the beach, I am very behind. I decided to just do one post to catch me up. I'll post one picture and then tell the story behind it.

September 1st was the first football game of the 2012 season! Even though we had been through all the Petrino drama, we were predicted to have a pretty good season.  Some even had hoped for the National Championship! We won the game, but I wasn't that impressed. Still, it was the first game, a cupcake team. However, Gracyn looked very cute and was proud to be rocking her Hog tattoo!

The next weekend, Clint and Eric went to St. Louis with several other guys for Big Red 2012. They went to a couple of Cardinals game, one being an all inclusive box deal. Katie and Caroline came up Saturday and we did a little shopping. We stopped by Bliss cupcake for a treat! I had the Elvis cupcake which was banana nut cupcake filled with chocolate and topped with peanut butter icing. Pretty sure it was the most amazing cupcake ever! We then traveled all the way to Rogers for On the Border. Now, since the guys were in St. Louis and neither of us know how to install a car seat, we had to drive separate all day. That was a little bit of a downer, but we still had a blast! Once Gracyn and I got home we turned on the 2nd half of the hog game. I don't really want to elaborate on this game....I'm just going to say we lost to ULM. Again, we lost to ULM.

Same weekend...only Sunday. Gracyn and I did a lot of nothing. Then we get a phone call. Eric's truck was parked in Republic, Missouri and his keys were in St. Louis! Say What?! Eric, Clint, and three other guys rode with Eric to Republic, then they all got in another guy's vehicle and went to St. Louis from there. Katie called and said she was on her way up to take Eric his extra key. Eric then called me and said Katie was coming to my house and we were to wait for a text from him. This guy was going to bring all five guys to McDoodles and Katie and I were to pick them all up while Eric went back to get his truck. Katie loaded up two guys and took them back to Fort Smith and I got Clint and Kaylon and took him home to Springdale. Poor Eric....he didn't end up getting home till like 11:00 that night! Best part of all this.....we got to hang out with Katie and Caroline!!!

The next weekend, the Bunzels came up for the Arkansas vs. Alabama game. It was a rainy, dreary day. And we lost. 52-0. And that is all I'm going to say about that. After the game, we all headed back to the house for dinner. The girls had fun playing and entertaining us all!

The next day Clint and I took Gracyn to watch Finding Nemo 3D. Look at all that popcorn!

The next weekend, Heather and Bubba came up for the Rutgers game. That Friday night we all went to Catfish Hole. The next day, the Grise's came over and we all had a little tailgate at the house then headed over to the game. We lost. I'm disheartened at this point. The next morning we took Heather and Bubba to Briar Rose for brunch! I love that place!!!!
