Friday Night Lights

This is the view Ross and I had every fall Friday night for 3 years...it's pretty fantastic!

Ross and I are both from Midland, TX where football really does rule the school and Friday nights in the fall are all about the big game. There is nothing like a West Texas football game (especially in a nice new stadium, thank you oil businessmen), beautiful sunsets, chilly weather with lots of coats and blankets, old friends to catch up with and the excitement pumping through the air. We were fortunate enough to take Luke to his first live game to our high school alma mater (Lee High) versus the cross town rival Midland High. We saw our old band director (we were both such band geeks, but both had great experiences being in band) and lots of old friends. It was a great trip and very special that we got to share it with Luke...and Lee won! Tota - LEE awesome! :)

Grams and me reading together, this is one of my touch and feel books...I prefer hands on.

And this is Pops giving me a sympathy face, he understands.

Don't let those sweet smiles trick you, there's a lot of orneriness in this group!

My favorite red head (Jinger) and Pop...they truly are "Great" grand-parents!

On the way home, I did great on my plane ride and shortly after this picture settled in for a nice Sunday afternoon nap, after all isn't that what you do after you watch a game?
