Razorback Game

Our Little Razorback Fan...ready for the game!
We have a Razorback Fan!! Brian & I took Braiden to the last Razorback Game that was here in Little Rock - we played TN-Chat. Braiden had SO much fun! He screamed and yelled just like the rest of them. We even bought him his very own Razorback Stroller from The Crown Shop...that Brian had to put together in the parking lot of a Wendy's across from the Stadium! He's such a good daddy!!! Brian & I have so very much fun with our little guy...he goes EVERYWHERE with us! I never knew being a mom could be so much fun...

He had such a great time with his daddy....and I think daddy had a pretty good time, himself!

Hollering like the rest of those crazies!! He had a blast!
Me & My Little Razorback - he was SO tired...and hot! His hair was as curly as mine!
My boss had tickets in the row directly in front of us, so we were excited to share Abby's (his little girl) and Braiden's first game...and Andrew is so freaking cool...so Brian & I were looking forward to it.
BUT...when the game was about to start, in came this couple with a ten/eleven-ish son and they sit in Andrew & Abby's seats. I'm thinking...um, no. I'm tempted to say something. They sit down and stare into the crowd, as if they were breathing in the experience. Weird, I'm thinking.
Then, the man looks at his wife and announces, "Baby, we're HERE!". She responds with, "Look at all the RED everywhere."
I look at Brian and say, "oh Sweet Lord...these people have not only sit in the wrong seats, but are on their first trip out of the house since McDonald's started selling The McRib! WOW!
I finally get so worked up from wondering where Andrew and Abby are, that I lean over and say, "did someone give you these tickets?...like maybe a tall, dark haired guy?"
The lady says, "oh no, it was a small little lady that was so wonderful to us. We were stood up by my office who had promised us tickets, so we were leaving the stadium and this lady asks us if we want any. We didn't know what to say...she wouldn't let us pay for them or anything" (when she said this, I pretty much knew they were Andrew's seats...that sounds just like him. But I couldn't figure out who the small lady was).
The lady in Andrew's seat went on about how she started to cry when the girl handed her the tickets and how this was her family's first Razorback Game and they were so excited. They had taught their son The Wave, and everything! Ok...my heart melted. The man got on my nerves, and I was upset that we didn't get to see Andrew and Abby, but these people were happy. They looked as though they had spent their entire frivilous fund for that month on parking at the game and the bag of peanuts the man was eating (and offered my child - see "got on nerves" above). It was precious.
When I got to work on Monday, I told my story, Andrew filled me in on how the Super Fans got his tickets. We had a great laugh and a that family had a great time. Filled my heart.
