Who's Upset? Not us!

It's that time of the year again--Stanford football! We are big sports fans, and have had so much fun cheering on Stanford. Our first home game (when we were home) was a big one vs. USC. Stanford won and some were calling it the upset of the year--but we were far from upset!!!

Before the game we went to the fun-zone and got our faces painted, jumped in the jumphouse and got a lot of Stanford swag (t-shirts, necklaces, noise makers, banners, flags, etc). It was super fun.

Not only was Evie sporting a new football uniform (to match his brother's) but he also got to wear cute football socks :)

 

Since we are still students, we sit in the RedZone. It's not always the most family-friendly location in the stadium, but our boys sure get lots of attention...mostly from tipsy undergraduate girls! The girls sitting behind us at this game LOVED Everett and were flirting with him and taking pictures of him the whole game. I kept hearing them say, "I'm totally putting this one on facebook, he is the cutest baby ever!" and "I'm texting this one to my friend!" It made me laugh so hard, and I have to agree with them...he is pretty cute!

I'm sure they would have thought T was cute too if he would have smiled at them. Instead, he growled and looked in the other direction. I wish I was kidding. The girls kept flirting with Evie and said, "There's always got to be a serious one in the bunch!"

T sharing his ice cream with his brother. These two made it through all four hours of the game and loved it, but boy were they filthy by the time it was done!

We were sitting four rows from the field and needless to say the view was amazing. I love close games (especially when we win!) and this game had us on our toes the whole time. The 2nd half made the whole game--it was awesome!

Even though students were told not to run onto the field the whole game, at about a minute left it became clear that everyone and their brother would be rushing the field when the game finished! You should have seen everyone running and jumping onto the field, it was awesome!

 When I saw the security guards standing back and allowing people entrance onto the field I decided that this was a memory not to be wasted. I held Evie and James picked up T and we stormed the field just like our fellow, albeit childrenless, students! The field was wild with excitement over the win and football players were everywhere hugging, high-fiving, chest-bumping and smiling ridiculously big!

 Here are our Cardinals, singing their hearts out after the victory!

After we had our fill on the field, we headed home to put our chicks to bed (it was after 9 by this point!) This was our view from the top of the stairs. Yes, we are either the coolest parents ever or we are really negligient for having our children in that awesomely hot mess!
