Beatdown in T-Town

Dylan and Brandon went to Tuscaloosa Saturday to watch Alabama beat Mississippi State and move to 11-0! This was Dylan's second Alabama game this season (Ole Miss) and Bama moved to 3-0 in games he's attended. He went to the Independence Bowl last year in Shreveport, LA. as well. Brandon's Aunt Kay and Uncle Perry have tickets to all the games and sometimes invite Dylan and Brandon when they have extras. Thanks Aunt Kay and Uncle Perry!!!

Dylan, Brandon and Pops went down early and walked around the campus, hit the supply store for a sweatshirt (it was cold!) and found plenty of spots to play catch.

One of Dylan's favorite things to do is attend the "Walk of Champions." Two hours before gametime the players and coaches arrive at the stadium in buses. Fans line the sidewalk on both sides of the entrance to the lockerroom and cheer them on. Dylan sneaks his way to the front row and tries to high-five the players. He says "some do, some don't."

After the game, Dylan wanted to go back to where the players come out of the lockerroom and try to get his program autographed. He did really well. The whole cover of his program was signed by many players!

Going to Tuscaloosa is now Dylan's favorite thing to do. He loves the atmosphere and football is definitely his favorite sport.

The kids were playing with my camera and this is what I found....I thought it was cute!

Halloween 2008

Last night we had so much fun for Halloween! Dylan dressed up like Dale Jr. and Sutherlan went as "Princess Liana" from the new Barbie movie "Diamond Castle". We went over to Rebecca's house and she made chili and also white chili. It was very good! :) Brandon made Collard Green and Black-Eyed Pea Soup. It was good too!!! We ate some chili before we went trick-or-treating and had some soup when we got back. Some of our friends from the gym and also some neighbors that used to live in the neighborhood came over to trick-or-treat with us. The kids had a blast! They have been eating candy all day today.

I told Dylan that since Halloween was on a Friday night that we would "camp out" in the den and watch scary movies after we went trick-or-treating. I've been recording movies all week such as Beetlejuice, Gremlins, Tim Burton's Corpse's Bride, Night at the Museum and Adams Family Values. We watched Beetlejuice last night for about 15 minutes and both kids were out! They were exhausted. So, we got up this morning and ate breakfast while we watched Beetlejuice again. Until next year.....

Well, everyone knows that Brandon was Jackie Moon for our Halloween party and Oh, how he loved his costume! The kids loved it too. They have been playing with it ever since Brandon bought it. Here they are being "Dylan Moon" and "Sutherlan Moon"...Little Jackie Moons!
