MSU vs Texas A&M

It was a "red letter day."  I have no other words to describe it!  Starkville was the happiest place on Earth!  It felt surreal to see such a game!  SO pumped up that I actually got to watch the ENTIRE game, too!  Miss Vera did absolutely wonderful!  She stayed for the entire game...had only one break to run to the restroom just before half-time!  She is on the road to following in her brother's footsteps as he is already a little "stay-the-whole-game" dude!

 This isn't the greatest shot in the world, but proof that WILL and VERA were there!  Together!  ha ha!  Even if it was for just a little bit!  Will did much better than last time.  Susan and Jon Jon stood down close to the sidelines of the field at the beginning of the game because it was less noisy than in our seats.  He is a little trooper!  :)
 Jon took Will for a nap after halftime.  SO glad to get to watch a WHOLE game with Susan!  Can't remember the last time that happened!  And what a game to watch!

For Father's Day, we all surprised Dad with an honorary brick in the new stadium expansion's entrance at Davis-Wade.  They sent me a map to locate the brick, and we have been wanting to go see it together as a family, but just haven't been able to get over there at the past three games.  Again, we tried before today's game, but it just didn't happen.  After the game was over and everyone was so excited and pumped, we headed over to find it!  Such a sweet moment!  I cannot think of a bigger State fan in all the world than my dad!  Win or lose, he supports his Dawgs no matter what!  Hmmm...wonder where my die-hard-ness came from???  ha!
 We tried to get him to lay on the ground for a picture by the brick...ha ha.  Just kidding...  Wish Will would have been with us...  who knew the little turkey was playing at the tailgate instead of napping!!!
 My sweet little die-hards!  They are the best little fans I know!
 So sweet to have Jenny home today!  :)
 Back at the tailgate,...Grady "reading" to Will!
 Perfect weather, perfect game, perfect day!

Hail State!
