Family Football



Of course, this weekend is the first weekend of the NFL season so we had to get all dressed up and go watch a game. Not just any game but that of the Denver Broncos (as most of you know, Matt is a HUGE fan, having lived there from birth through the 3rd grade. He has stayed true to his orange and blue). The Broncos, thankfully (very thankfully for those of us who have to live or work with Matt), won by one point with a last second field goal. Chloe got to experience the vast expanse of emotions that her daddy feels AND expresses (rather loudly, I might add). Several times, I caught her looking at him trying to figure out why in the world he was dancing around and waving his arms in the air, screaming at the box mounted on the wall that was filled with colorful people.

Anyway, we had fun as a family. Matt and I have watched many Broncos games and have eaten many wings at sports bars over the years because half the time, the Broncos are not on our local cable stations. It's kind of a tradition for us for football season. Chloe and I, of course, came late and watched the last quarter of the game because there was no way she'd make it through the whole thing, but still, we got to keep up with our tradition. And we plan to keep it up as long as possible. Here are some pictures of us in our Denver Bronco garb.








Aren't I just so adorable in my very own Broncos jersey?! (We had to add the bow because she looked like a boy without it! Sorry, Matt, if she's going to grow up liking football, she's gonna look pretty doing it! :)

I love her!!! She is sooo beautiful!! How cute that she's in a little jersey... Cameron just got Sailor a Longhorns Cheerleader outfit and it's too precious. She won't be able to wear it for a while because it's 12 months, but I can't wait till she can!

You keep flashing those pearly whites beautiful Chloe!!

p.s. Sailor has 5 teeth now!! I LOVE them, it's even more amazing when she smiles!

How fun!!! What a great family tradition. And she does look very pretty with the bow in her hair! Jonathan is not very happy about her being indoctrinated into the Broncos, but he likes her enough to let it go.:> You look great, too. I LOVE those glasses.
