Weekend in Pictures: Sawyer's 1st Mizzou Football Game

What a game!! Mizzou faced Florida last Saturday in Columbia for Gold Rush and we were lucky enough to get tickets from John's Grandparents. John's two favorite college football teams are Mizzou (of course) and Florida so he was super excited. Plus, we were able to bring Sawyer for his first Mizzou football experience. Mizzou dominated with a final score of 36 to 17. Luckily we were in the President's Suite because it was pretty chilly. Our friend Kathy and Mike were kind enough to let us crash at their house. They have an adorable little girl Ella who is just about 8 months older than Sawyer. We invited over the Carter's (Anna, Clint, Keller and Zane) for a night in of pizza, beer (adults only), instruments and movies. Boy, how things have changed!! And what makes the weekend even better, after the win, Mizzou is ranked #5!!!

Sawyer's 1st Mizzou Game

First Family Photo in Columbia

Besides the trip when he was living in my belly, last weekend was Sawyer first trip to Columbia to see his parents Alma Mater. It was the Mizzou vs. Ole Miss Basketball game, we were lucky enough to get tickets from John's grandparents. The Tarwater's joined us for Pierce and Paisley's first Mizzou game as well and arrange for a place to stay with some of their good friends. Mizzou beat Ole Miss 98 to 78. The kids did great at the game and we can't wait to plan another trip! I took a ton of pictures, surprise surprise, so here are a few.

Can we go yet???

Mizzou Homecoming 2012

This trip to Columbia marked John and I's 11th Mizzou Homecoming and our 1st SEC game. We had originally planned to bring Sawyer but when the forecast said high of 43 with an 11:00 AM game, we decide next year might have to be his first trip.
Thanks to my wonderful parents for watching him!
We made it into town Friday night to meet the Milbach's for drinks at Trey and late night snacks at Addison's with some of our other college friends (The Duncan's, Ahren's, Weston's and McMillen's). The Milbach's were kind enough to let us stay at their lovely home (it is impossible to get a hotel room on Homecoming weekend). Saturday, we started tailgating around 9:00 am and it was cold! Luckily we got to watch the game from the Tiger Lounge which is enclosed & heated. After the Tiger's win, we headed to the Weston's for food and a quick dance party and then decided to hit the town for some Willy's & Field House. Of course we had to end the night with a trip to El Rancho. Ad you can see from the pictures, the them of the weekend was lots of dancing and chest bumps,
