Happy Birthday Erika!

Hope you had a fantastic birthday!

Love you lots!

Game Day

Yesterday was Scarlet & Gray Day at the OSU Football game. They honored all the student athletes during half time and had them all out on the field in the middle of the block O.

Before the game

What a difference just a little while makes :)

It is neat to watch them raise the US flag. They do this before every game.

Everyone in place and ready

On it's way up

If you look close you can see the guy that has just come running down the ramp with the rope to tie down.


Flying high above the field

We had a different perspective from our seats this time...we were in the endzone about 9 rows from the top of the stands. Still pretty good seats :)

General (boring) Update...

Hmm...what has been going on...sorry I haven't taken any pictures to include in this post.

We finally got power back on Monday at work then we got to begin the 'catch up' process this week. After being out for 7.5 days it was about time! We had some generators set up for the end of last week so we could get some work done...on Saturday right before the last few people were leaving, one of the computers caught on fire. Thankfully they hadn't left yet since our alarm system needs electricity to work :) We had a security guard there but I don't think he would have noticed anything until the entire building was in flames...anyways, the only damage was to the computer and the cubicle that it was in.

Mom & Dad have decided to keep the puppy...now named Molly (short for Molasses). Actually I think the puppy is Josh, Ashlee & Jimmy's, but Mom & Dad let them keep her :)

I have left Jax out of his crate all week while I was at work...no messes! Yay!!

Been to Spanish class this week...enjoying it for the most part. I think I'm finally picking up a few things :)

Went to Erika's tonight for Taco Pizza and games...had alot of fun. Hannah is walking really well. I need to take some more pictures!

And tomorrow I'm working a few hours and then...

I'm going to be here!!!! :)

Go Buckeyes!!

A guy at work is unable use his alumni tickets so he gave them to me. Twice in one season, I don't know if I'll survive :)

Unplanned Vacation

What's a girl to do when she doesn't have to go to work for four days??? (no, I haven't been trying to eat my toes :))

We haven't had electricity at work at all this week...kinda of nice to not have to go in, however, I'm afraid I will regret it when payday comes around. They've gotten some generators so some people are supposed to go to work tomorrow, I'm going in to help get the backlog of orders started. They have also said for the employees to plan to work the weekend! Hopefully power will be fully restored soon!!
I have been picking up extra hours at Burger King since they have been extra busy because of the power outages. Monday was super crazy! (Sunday night was too, but I wasn't there) We never lost power at BK and were one of about 3 restaurants in the area that didn't. During lunch we had two hours that were over $1,000 each...we've never been that busy even during the summer!

Puppy, Poppins, Sissy...

This cute little puppy showed up at Mom and Dad's house yesterday so we all had fun playing with her...even Jax! Everybody had a different name for her :) Hopefully we won't be able to find her family and someone can keep her! I think she looks a little bit like Jax when he was a puppy.

Little Miss Hannah

Hannah loves ice cream :)

not really liking when it gets moved away!

sad that its gone...

Here she is after she got a head wrap for her 'boo-boo'...I think someone was just having fun with the ace bandage :)

The Best Band in the Land

Here are some of the pictures I took of the band performances. It is so much better to see them actually performing them, but pictures will have to do. I can't get very many videos on my camera without using all the memory.

Pre-game formations

This is the current band along with the alumni band

Current band only

Block 'O'

This is the new formation they began doing this year for the team entrance. The band forms a block 'O' and the cheerleaders are in the middle of the 'O'. If you click on the picture you can see the football players getting ready to run through. The band splits and they all go running through...so neat!!

Half time show

This is the alumni band...they played the 'theme' song (not sure what it is) from the Olympics. They are welcoming back the 13 OSU alumi that participated in the 2008 Olympics

Celebrating a 40th reunion...so cool to see those drum majors, some of them probably at least in their 70's, leading the band and twirling their batons!

Finally, the beginning of Script Ohio. With the alumni band being there they do 4 at the same time. Extremely fascinating to see!

'O'

'Oh'

There's two of them...the other two are in the endzones.
