I met Todd Reesing AND got to touch him....swoon!
Oh, isn't that man delicious?
For those that don't know, he was the awesome quarterback for KU. I feel in love with him at my very first game. Here's a play by play for ya...
Jonathan: Todd Reesing is here.
Me:WHHAAATTT? Omigod. Omigod. {giggling uncontrollably}
Jonathan: Yes, he's up at the front of the store.
Me: {Walk up there and peek around a shelf} Omigod.{More giggling}{Race out to my car to get my camera.}
From there on, all I remember is more giggling and feeling like a high school girl googling over a crush. Every time I thought about talking to him I'd giggle. If Sean or Jonathan mentioned that he was there and I was going to meet him, my voice would squeak with excitement and get super, super high.
So we buy our shirts and I try very calming to walk up to him. I'm next in line and I try very hard to not start screaming. I try hard to talk without my voice squeaking. I try extremely hard to act like a normal person and not a crazy fan. I couldn't even look at him because I knew I'd start giggling. He mentioned how cute Lyla was and signed her shirt and his book. Then....I asked if we could take a picture. THEN...I stood next to him and....THEN
he put his arm AROUND me! Oh my. I think I died and went to heaven.
And for the rest of the day, Jonathan or Sean would give me heck saying, "You met Todd Reesing", and a HUGE smile would get on my face and I'd get butterflies in my stomach.
I can now die a happy woman! ;)
This was me after we got out to the car. I was a dingdong and didn't have him sign my jersey though, doh!
In other news, this was Miss Lyla's first KU game and it couldn't have been better. Well, except for the fact we could have won....but that was outweighed by the fact we met Todd Reesing..Mmmm.
I made her an A-dor-able outfit. We can't attend a KU without a stinkn' cute outfit! I rhinestoned KU on a onesie with a KU rosette flower and then made a KU flower rosette headband. And of course, no outfit is complete without a tutu! I also made a KU rosette flower for me!
So cute!
Us girls!
We tried to get Lyla's picture with the cheerleaders but she wasn't having a thing to do with them! I'm hoping this isn't what she thinks of cheerleading when she's older!
So cute!
We love her!
Our first KU game as a family!
Uncle Jonathan and Miss Lyla!
So since Todd Reesing is no longer there, my new favorite player is Kale Pick. He's quite delicious himself but he has a lot of proving to do to be the next Todd Reesing. And by that I mean, he needs to learn to throw the ball. Ooii!
Cheering for the Hawks!
We had taught her to put her hands up for a touchdown. However, KU never got a touchdown so she couldn't show off her skills.
A group picture! We are such a cute family! And yes, the bromance guy is part of our family too!
The bromance plus Lyla!
The end. We lost 6-3. Pa-stinkn'-thetic.
Overall, we had a great time! Miss Lyla did so good, even with not feeling that well. I wore her in my Ergo most of the time and she napped and was pretty much a great little girl all day. Everyone thought she was sooo cute in her little KU outfit and I must agree!
The next day (Sunday) we did some shopping for clothes for Sean and I. Since we've been working out, we both were needing new sizes of clothes! Such a great feeling! We didn't get home until 10:30 so we were exhausted after a long day! Such a great weekend though. Sean and I both feel so blessed that we are able to do this and live the life we want to live. I can't wait for future years of going to the games with Lyla and future kids.
