That was the score of Baylor's football game last weekend against Kansas......and we were on the winning side for once! Praise the Lord! As Baylor fans we have been on the losing side of scores similar to this one, but this year we have a great team and a winning conference record (so far, so good!). My husband is an avid fan--read: we've had season tickets for years and have been through the ups and downs with the Bears. He is over-the-moon excited that we're doing well! As Baylor fans we try to manage our expectations; they always seem to get our hopes up only to crush us in the end, but we are really excited that the boys are winning!! Knock on wood!!
Even though it's great that the Bears are winning, my favorite part of going to Waco is seeing friends and spending time at our old stompin' grounds. Will enjoyed his first Baylor football game, however, when the crowd would yell he didn't know what to do so he would start crying. Good thing football games are loud! No one even noticed him! :) But as the game went on, he got used to the noise and seemed to really like watching the game. He
loves being outside, so even though it was sweltering hot he was a trooper.

couldn't take their eyes off the game! :)

Like I mentioned before, the best part about Waco is spending time with friends. One of my favorites lives in Waco--Rene (or Aunt NeNe depending on who you ask). We always look forward to seeing her and Pat whenever we visit. For the Kansas game, we were lucky enough to see 2 of my other favorites as well--Becky (or Aunt B) and Kelly!! How fun!! It was like a mini reunion! Kelly's little guy ACE was entertaining and sweet as ever, Kelly's precious Lily Kate was an angel, and Will just took it all in. What a fun weekend!! Not to mention, we beat the socks off Kansas! Will did much better at his second game; in fact, he fell asleep with Aunt B for the entire 2nd half!! Sleeping baby = success in my book. :)

Wish us luck against Tech this weekend! Hopefully the winning streak will continue!
Even better than K-State, it was KU! Woohoo! Nick went to Kansas so I was extra nice to rub the win in. We have taught Annabelle to love both the Jayhawks and Bear though. :)
ReplyDeleteSweet pics of your family. So wish we were in Texas and could enjoy going to Baylor games.
You're right, Jen! Even better! We wish you guys were here too. Games are pretty fun! Hope you're feeling ok--can't wait for your little guy to get here! :)
