A House Divided

If you're from Alabama, this phrase normally means one cheers for Alabama and the other for Auburn. However, our house is a little different! Luckily we only cheer for one SEC team--WAR EAGLE! But we also cheer for daddy's alma mater, Big Ten's Michigan State. Arden is our little cheerleader for both teams. Thanks Auntie April, for her super cute cheer outfits--she is definitely getting a lot of use out of both.

We haven't been to an Auburn game this season, but we've watched a lot on TV. This was taken the night of the Auburn vs. Mississippi St. game. Hopefully we will make it to a some AU games over the next few seasons.
We traveled to Michigan last week to visit Geoff's family. Besides the many hours spent in a car, we had a great time. We definitely stayed very busy, and Arden was a trooper as always.

On Saturday, we headed to East Lansing to watch a great rivalry game: Michigan St. vs. Michigan. Although Michigan State hasn't had the best start to the season, they played a great game and pulled off a win in overtime! Arden did awesome during the game! She made it until mid-4th quarter when it started to rain. I took her under cover and stayed there until the end of the game. I hate it that she didn't get to see them win, but I was so impressed she lasted as long as she did.

Hmmm, did someone tell them this was a silly face picture?!
Final Score--Go State!

What sweet pictures! I love her little Auburn and Michigan outfits. She is just so precious!!!The picture of Arden with Geoff's brother is priceless. You seriously have to frame that for him.

Hey you. Next time you guys come up here let me know. Greg and I live in Ann Arbor, not a State fan's favorite place, but we are on the outskirts, "In the country"! Where does his family live?

Gina, I would love to see you next time we are there! We don't make the trip very often but I will definitely let you know when we do. His parents live in South Haven. I know that's not very close to you, but maybe we could work something out :)
