Burnt Orange Weekend

TX/OU Weekend is a big deal in the Guinn household! OU is our biggest football rival and since the game is played in Dallas each year it is convenient and expected to join in on the festivities. So to prepare, I have been carefully selecting great burnt orange fashion pieces for Hadley since before she was born! 

Some UT friends of ours always throw an annual party at their house to kick off this rivalry weekend. Bevo is always in attendance. Even more motivation to find the perfect outfit for Hadley, because I mean you don't just go around meeting Bevo any ol' day! Unfortunately, the day before the party we received sad news that our beloved mascot was seriously ill. Nooooo!!! My photo shoot dreams  - ruined!!! But any great party planner always has a back up plan and as such, they were able to secure Bevo's cousin - who I lovingly named Steve.

This actually turned out to be a pretty good turn of events ( no offense, Bevo)! We were able to take this great photo mounted atop a longhorn, without fear of being gored by Bevo's insanely long horns! We'll take it! ;) And Hadley did great at the party too! She loved watching everyone and even let us keep her up a little past bedtime without complaint - see she already knows how to rally for TX/OU weekend! :)

Saturday was game day, which we chose to watch from the comfort of our home this year. UT was not expected to win as we have had a very rough start to our season and OU was ranked 10th in the nation! But we had a little good luck charm on our side!

AND because of this we WON!!! YAY! What an exciting first TX/OU victory for Hadley! :) 

To celebrate our win - we introduced Hadley to her next solid food and in keeping with the theme of the weekend we chose something ORANGE. Sweet Potatoes! 
She was a pretty big fan! She is really starting to get the hang of this eating thing and barely makes a mess at all! Yay! Less clean up for Mom! :)

On Sunday we decided to do a little pinterest inspired Halloween themed photo shoot with our girl! Mommy & Daddy carved the pumpkin during nap time and when she awoke we drove over to White Rock Lake armed with bows in several colors and a camera! Oh. My Gosh! Soooo obsessed with these pictures!!!!

I mean if she isn't the most photogenic baby ever!

Just drive out to the middle of nowhere, stick her naked, in a giant pumpkin and watch photography magic unfold...

We're going to need a bigger house! How can I possibly pick and choose which pictures to display!?!

Well, that's a wrap on a fantastic weekend! We love you Hadley, our precious pumpkin!!!
