Show Us Your Life-Tailgates and Favorite Teams

Every week Kelly hosts Show Us Your Life and this week it's favorite teams. That's a no-brainer for me. Our entire family graduated from Auburn-my daddy, my husband, my brother and sister-in-law, both of our sons and daughters-in-law, and me) so we have strong ties to Auburn University and not just the football team. We have season tickets to football games and also try to go back for a basketball game and a baseball game every year. If a swim meet is in town or a gymnastics meet when we're in Auburn, we go to those, too. In other words, we bleed orange and blue. Here are a few pictures of some of our trips to Auburn this fall.

Our nephew is a sophomore at Auburn and is a trainer for the football team. Here he is on the sideline just behind the yard marker (looking over his left shoulder).

The Auburn University Marching Band in the pre-game show


One of the best pre-game activities in college football---our eagle circling the stadium before landing at mid-field while the crowd yells "War-r-r-r-r-r Eagle!"

It's GREAT to be an AUBURN TIGER!! War Eagle!

  1. Thank you for the comment! =) And your family is beautiful as well! I decided on Ashlyn because I never heard that name. Now it seems there's Ashlyns everywhere!

    I love the pictures you have posted on your blog. The rainbow, the beach ah I love the crab and the sunset was awesome! And your time in Colorado! I used to live there and never heard of the places you've been! I'll make sure the next time we take a vacation CO will be it!

    Thanks again =)

  2. Fellow Auburn alum...met my husband in section 19 a long time ago! Now we share the Auburn experience with our kids on game days on the plains. The eagle flying is one of our family's favorites! I posted a pic on our blog from the Sept. 12 game, where Spirit has patriotic streamers flowing as he flies. Gave me chills....so beautiful!!

    Just wanted to stop by and say WAR EAGLE!
