Are You Ready For Some Football

Oh Yeah...the air is getting more brisk and the days will soon grow shorter as the doldrums and dog days of summer give way to Fall...and that's a great word because it's part of FootbALL! A big high five and a swing of the rally towel as we get set for another season...YIPPEE!!!!! And not only do we get all of the college games on Saturday and NFL games on Sunday (thanks NFL Sunday Ticket), but we also get another season of Fantasy Football. We kicked off this season with a great draft party two weeks ago...complete with dear family (Mom, Dad, Kallie and Troy) in from Texas. Chad made his famous chicken wings (aka Dad Sutt's famous wings) and the best homemade french fries in the world! That was a great precursor to the start of the draft. Needing a dedicated area to focus on the task at hand, the office was transformed into the WAR ROOM. We had four computers set up (Dad, Troy, Chad and I each got one) and we hit the draft boards all the while trying to keep our next move secret from the other guy :-) When all was said and done, it was a riot for two hours.

Evan and Taryn were even in the spirit and supported the home team by wearing the Tennessee Titans jerseys that they got for their birthday...that is only because they don't have St. Louis Rams shirts :-( well not yet anyway, I'm hoping Santa will bring them each a Rams shirt for Christmas :-).

Did I mention how much Taryn LOVES her Uncle Troy...well she loves him a lot. Mommy wasn't even good enough when Uncle Troy was around :-)

We bought the kids Baseball hats because they love to wear Chad's; we bought one Tennessee Titans and one St Louis Rams. And while Chad was at work, I set them on the floor for the kids to study...the ultimate question being which one would they pick. Well, "unfortunately" my girl choose the Tennessee Titan hat :-( so I guess that leaves me and Evan as the lonely Rams fans in the house. Maybe she only chose the Titans because it happened to match her outfit that day :-)...or maybe the red in the logo caught her eye (since it matches her hair!) All one big family and looking forward to our first trip with them to an actual game in the stadium. For now, TV will be just fine (and easiest for everyone :-) ) If, by chance, you play fantasy football and want to see what our league (the TSFFL) is all about, check out our league blog: www.tsffl.blogspot.com
