Go Bryant!

Last night we went to the Salt Bowl football game where the two rivals, Bryant and Benton played each other.  I have no idea why it is called the Salt Bowl, but it is always held at War Memorial Stadium instead of at the hometown stadiums.  Our towns are located right beside each other, so they are huge rivals.  Tons of people come out to support their home team, so it is a big deal and so much fun!!  Before the game they had a huge tail-gate party where local businesses gave away tons of free stuff, including hot dogs, cokes, etc. 

My babies showing their Bryant spirit!

Sophie, Victoria, and Carson with Buzz.  Victoria came home from school one day saying that she knew a secret.  Her teacher had told her who was in the Buzz costume this year.  Actually it is a "Buzzette" this year.  I could tell you the secret, but then what fun would that be!!!!  :)

The kids almost got to be on TV live, but I guess they ran out of time, because they never came back to them live.

The reporter felt bad for getting them excited and then not delivering, so he let them hold his mic!

Tori trying out the mic!  Maybe we have the next Diane Sawyer on our hands!

Tori with her friend, Emma, and her lil' sis, Eden
This is Emma and Tori at the Salt Bowl last year.  Amazing how fast they grow up!

This is Carson's teacher, Mrs. Tanya.  He can't wait to finally start school this next Wednesday!

Tori and me

How cute is Maggie with those Shirley Temple ringlets?!!  Her mom, Natalie,  and dad, Jeremy, went to college with Robert and me.  Natalie grew up in Bryant and they live here again now.
Tori with her friend, Torin

Torin liked the stickers on Tori's face and wanted a pair.

Torin and Tori......lovin' how they both are missing some teeth!
We had a great night and the fact that Bryant WON made it even better!!  Go Bryant!
