SMTTT

Saturday morning began what I hope to be the first of many O'Dell party of six tailgates on game day!  One of the things we love love about Hattiesburg is that it's a college town, home of the USM Golden Eagles.  Our church hosted a tailgate at Saturday's game against East Carolina University.  I grew up tailgating at UGA and GSU games as a kid, so I couldn't have been more excited to introduce my children gameday fun!  It was fun watching David get into the party, too!  

We started our day by watching the "pride of Mississippi" do their thing on the practice field.  

Our children loved listening to the music and watching the flags fly.  

Look at my girlies proudly wearing their Golden Eagles gear!  The great thing about USM is they are not in the SEC and won't play our beloved dawgs very often, so it's perfectly fine for us to cheer proudly!  

Watching the band play with Miss Lucy.  Her husband, Josh, is our college pastor, and we are so very thankful that the Lord led them to our church.  We adore them!  

Here's Tilly with Mr. Josh and Miss Lucy, photo courtesy of Summer!  Can't you tell how much we love them??

Love this little one and her little ponytail!  

It was so much fun to watch our children play with their friends from church.  

They played so hard!  We ate some super yummy food, too!

I could just eat her sweet cheeks up!  

Look how big and beautiful this girl is getting!  I forget so often that she is just barely FIVE!  

Love these two, and oh how they love each other.  

A group shot before we wrapped up our tailgate.  We opted not to go to the actual game.  It was a 2:30 kick off, and I really didn't think little bit would make it!  We headed home and napped, so we could be ready for the main event, the dawgs!
