Labor Day Weekend

As I mentioned in our last post, we started our Labor Day weekend at the Cannon County Lions 2nd home football game. This home game was their "black out" game for the year. Since all the fans were suppose to wear black and Tuff had not even one black shirt, I decided to run to Hobby Lobby on my lunch break Friday and pick up some iron on letters/numbers and black t-shirts. I was just going to make Tuff one but once I got there decided to make us all one, including Jace. They turned out great. I think Dalton was pretty fond of them as well ;) He asked his mama "Why don't you do stuff like that?" Haha. Anways, here are a few pictures of how they turned out....

The game didn't go as planned... We were hoping for closer scores and maybe a WIN, but Dekalb Co. had other plans. I don't remember the final score but it's probably best that I don't. ;) Dalton did SO good though. I was so proud of him. He has been getting a pretty good amount of playing time but in this game, he played the whole game! His coach told him after it was over, he was impressed. I would think that's a good thing to hear from your coach when you're just a freshman! GO DALTY!!!

I was up bright and early Saturday morning to meet my sister at Stewart's for some wedding stuff. Stewart's is a local company that provides all wedding furniture/decor for rent. We got the arch that Jordan and I will stand under, the chairs, and a table cloth for the cake table. It's getting so close. I just can't believe it's less than a month away! I'm getting more and more excited!!! :)

GAME DAY also spilled over into Saturday at our house. Florida State started off at 11:00 against Samford defeating them 59-6. Woooo Hoooo!!!! GO FSU!!!! Tuff was up bright and early with his UT gear on...

That's one CUTE diapered bottom, if you ask me?

The Tennesse game was not broadcasted on TV in our area. We tried to rent it on PPV but for some reason we couldn't. So, along with EPSN updates, we had my dear friend Lana keeping us posted as well. Thanks Lane!!!! :) She was in town this weekend and her Gram rented it off PPV. (They have Direct tv and we have Dish, still not sure why we couldn't get it on PPV) Tennessee racked in a whopping 50 points against UT Martin. The final score at the end of the game was 50-0. It was a good day in the Alford household! Saturday night, we just rested.

Sunday we decided to have the family over for some drinks/appetizers. It was a good night being able to spend some time with the family and socialize a bit. I think everyone had a pretty good time...

Monday morning, me and Tuff got up and got ready to run to town to pick up a few clothes for Tuff. At the ballgame Friday night, it got cold. I got to thinking, even if I had wanted to bring him a jacket or put a pair of pants on him, I wouldn't have been able to since he has not one stitch of winter clothing. I had to change that. Mom rode to town with us so daddy could stay home and rest up to go back to work. We picked him up a jacket and a few pairs of pants. It's not quite time for long sleeve shirts yet. We had lunch at Zaxby's and headed home for a nice long 3 hour nap and later, dinner with daddy.

It was a good weekend. Hope you all had a good Labor Day weekend as well. :)
