I'm Wearing Purple: Hook 'em Horns!!

Yesterday I got a phone call at 8:28am from my brother, Jimmy. He wanted to treat Stacy and I to the University of Texas game against Oklahoma State. That's #1 UT v. #6 OSU. Since he had just gotten home from a trip with my parents to England and Rome the night before, I quickly forgave the last minute invitation, especially since he had arranged babysitting with the help of my sister in law, Lori. Hannah, Stacy and I were still snuggled in bed watching cartoons, and we were a bit worried that Hannah would be upset that we weren't going to the pumpkin patch as we had planned all week, but a day with cousin Aubrey seemed like a good trade off to her. So we made to Chris and Lori's house at 10:01am (they live 45 minutes away), packed up the mini van and the six of us were off. Hannah and Aubrey, who is 2, just love each other and neither were much interested in good byes. The sitter said the got along really well together. We had a great time tailgating, eating, people watching, game watching, and eating. Brother Ray and nephew Dylan were in charge of securing the tailgate site and Ray manned the grill. And Texas won in a good game. It was 84 and warm and my brothers (season ticket holders) upgraded their seats this year (front row of that level, so no one in front....actual seats instead of bleachers....cup holders....and the sun in our eyes except for 5 minutes near the end of the game). It's been a while since Stacy and I have been to a game. They've expanded the stadium by 20,000 seats and it was a record that day. We partied with 98,516 of our closest friends. :) We had a great time!! Thanks, Jimmy!!!
