Super Day

It is Super Bowl Sunday! I am sad to say that my Dallas Cowboys did not make it to the big stage tonight but what a game it was! The New Orleans Saints made an their first every appearance and did it with a rookie Quarterback in Drew Brees.  They were taking on an experienced Super Bowl Champion team in the Indianapolis Colts.  I have always liked the Colts Quarterback, Peyton Manning.  Up until about an hour before the game I was not sure who I was going to root for.  I had told myself all I wanted was a good close game and some very funny commercials.  I didn’t really get either tonight.  I decided just before kick-off that I was going to root for the Saints due to the fact that they were the underdogs and I like it when the underdog wins.  Chris told me that he is a Cowboys fan but has always liked the Colts so that was who he would be cheering for.  So the stage in our house was set.  Who would end the night happy?  Here are a few pictures to show a time line of the  game.

Chris was relaxing on “his” couch watching the game, while Isaac was chillin’, and kicking his Dad in the stomach.

Chris was happy because……

At the end of the 3rd Quarter the Colts were leading by 1! Peyton Manning had only 15 minutes to go.

Jordan was not interested in the game or commercials and decided to play on his laptop instead. (We are going to have to have a talk with him about this…our kids WILL love football…)

Chris’ happy feeling did not last long, because…….

the SAINTS WON!!! Who Dat? Geaux Saints!!!

The final score of the 44th Super Bowl is 31-17.  What a great game and a great evening with the family.

Why Fall weekends are perfect.

The weather is beginning to cool off, the leaves will soon change.  That means 2 things.  Football season is in full force and the tracks are heating up in Nascar.  I love the fall season.  The weather is as close to perfect as it can be.  Here in Texas we are slow in seeing the fall temps, but I know they are coming! “Perfect” to me is clear and sunny with temps in the mid 60s.  The weekends are the best part of the week for many reasons.  First, Jordan has no school.  We both get to sleep in and be lazy.  Then you have football.   Saturdays are filled with the college action.  I enjoy watching good close games! The Hogs may not be doing to good this year I am a fan regardless of how bad their season is.  As far as UT.  Wow, Hook em’ Horns! After moving to Texas 3 years ago we decided it was only fair to follow the “home” team and Texas as yet to disappoint!  Sundays are just as exciting if not more.  We start our day spending some time with God.  With Chris working we aren’t able to make it to a church service so Jordan and I worship at home.  After that we eat lunch and turn on Nascar.  Jordan loves watching the races because the cars go so fast! I love watching because of th excitement and of course the crashes! As long as everyone comes out safe the wrecks are the best part.  Sometimes while the race is going we have to switch over to watch the Cowboys.  I was raised to hate the Cowboys but after being so close to the action is is hard to hate them.  Yes they may have some cocky guys who could sure your an attitude adjustment but overall they are a great team.  What makes them even better for me this year is #28 Felix Jones.  What a great choice he was!.  My hopes for today’s game against Cincinnati is that someone other than  TO gets the ball.  They should have no problem beating Cinci but you can’t let your guard down either!

As you can probably tell I’m a huge sports fan.  The best sports happen in the fall.  You can’t go wrong with football and Nascar!
