Football and Info

The Dutchess' enjoyed a day of football on Sunday. We went to see the Fayetteville Guard play an exhibition game. It is an indoor football team. We tailgated before the game by playing Cornhole and eating some lunch (Colton made our sandwiches and Matt made some pasta salad).
It was a lot of fun. Then it was time to go into the game. Since it was an exhibition game, our tickets were only $5.00 each and we could sit anywhere. We ended up 4 rows up and center. The guard destroyed the other team! Colton picked out his favorite player (#20). He was probably the shortest, but also the fastest player. I think he became Colton's favorite not only because of how well he played but because he did the YMCA on the sidelines. Colton bought a new t-shirt, which he wore today to school.
We bought 3 mini footballs to throw into a moving pickup truck during the end of the 3rd quarter to try to win free pasta at a restaurant for a year and $50.00. Colton threw his in and then I made mine which made Matt nervous. He made his in as well. We couldn't believe we all made it in; however, the cheerleader didn't pick ours out of the truck. Oh well, we were still excited.

We went to Outback after the game. Matt made a bet with Colton that Colton couldn't eat all of his ribs and mac and cheese. The poor child did it, but I swear I thought it was going to get messy. You know he is full when he passes on dessert. All of that for $5.00!
By the way, Colton's indoor soccer season is over and his team finished in second place with only one loss. His outdoor season's first game was rained out so his first game will be this Saturday. Matt was asked to play on a team for the spring indoor season and his first game is Wednesday. We cannot wait to see him in action!!!!
Finally, my brother should be home from Iraq by the 18th!!!!! We cannot wait to have him home!

By the way, we weren't the only ones who tailgated ( it just looks like that in this picture).
