Rocky Top

Our friends from NC came over for the final UT home football game of the year.  We tailgated from 9am until the game started at 7:30pm!!  We had a great time catching up with each other, eating, playing games and watching other football games on TV throughout the day!
our set up for the day!
 no tailgate is complete without corn hole
 of course, the boys had to throw the football around too
 we took a stroll down the strip to walk off lunch!
 then, we headed back so we could watch football, eat dinner and head down for kick off
 the sun went down and it got cool!
 never fear, we had a fire pit too!

 Smokey was wrapped up in his blanket again this week!
It got COLD - we had on 2 shirts + a thermal shirt, jeans + thermal pants, fuzzy boots + socks, gloves, a toboggan, and heavy coats!!
 Me and Jessica in our twin toboggans!
Although the score wasn't what we wanted, we had a great time spending the weekend together again.  I'm sure they'll be many more days like this in our future!

Go Big Orange!


Today was the home opener for our beloved Tennessee Vols.  It was the first sell out for TN in 7 years!  Our friends from NC came over to attend the game with us. 
 We started tailgaiting around noon

 Duane and our redneck oven - we cooked the potatoes on the engine of the van!

 broccoli slaw, bbq chicken, baked beans, loaded potatoes and Knock You Naked Brownies & Lemon Chess Bars for dessert

 it poured down rain as we entered the stadium

 I was one shot too early to get a picture of the touchdown
 after the rain, the sunset was beautiful 
 BUTCH was not happy with the ref!
 the band and cheerleaders came to our section to play

Football and Swimming Friday

It's Friday, so that means it's time to break out the orange to support our favorite team.
the kids looked so cute in their orange
 Tonight, instead of having our regular Bible study group, we decided to have an end of summer/back to school pool party.  The kids swam until almost 10pm and the adults could have talked all night!

 We had the pool all to ourselves
