Roll Tide Roll!!

Reeves and Daddy on the first game of the season in 2002....don't ask me who they played, but I guarantee that Chris remembers every detail of the game!
Check out that game day intensity!!!

Fastforward to 2008!

So, I guess this is cheating just a little bit! I'm only rewinding this "Sunday Rewind" one day, but I hope you'll understand. We are some big fat Bama Fans around here, and yesterday was a terrific season opener! The kiddos were very in to it, as always. Chris was......well, Chris!

Every year, it's exactly the same thing. It's bigger than Christmas to Chris. He lives for this day every year, and every year he is a nervous wreck all day long! And, to top it all off, the game was at 7:00 pm! To Chris, that's like asking your kids to wait till after Christmas Dinner to open any of their gifts....it's that huge!

We cheered and we grilled out and we dressed the part.

The kids were very excited this time....they know what a big deal it is to Daddy. Lucy even squeezed in to this cheerleader outfit one more time (I literally had to climb into the attic and pull it out of the 3T clothes from last year). I think this week we will be shopping for a new outfit! Oh, and hopefully Reeves will earn enough stickers to get a new "Alabama Football Helmet"! More on that to come....

Man, we need to et Chris together with Scott- he was JUST like a child on "Christmas morning" (great way to describe it) as well. We just had a "discussion" over him consuming 3 1/2 hours of save time on our DVR to keep the game until the next one and analyze it. Roll Tide!
