A Little Hawkeye

This Labor Day weekend was definitely a weekend full of memories! Mike and I took Friday afternoon off in order to get Lila's pictures taken. We started out at our house and then we took her to Noelridge Park to do a few shots outside. We got a super cute knit beanie hat and booties for her to wear in some of the pictures. We can't wait to get the professional ones, because she looked darn cute with our everyday camera!

Simply Irresistible!

Friday night we welcomed our family friends, Jason and Jena and their son Sebastian to stay with us for the weekend. They traveled from Wisconsin to come to the Iowa game. So, Saturday we all gathered in the car and headed to the Iowa vs. UNI game in Iowa City. It was a big game, not only was it the Hawkeyes home opener, but it marked Lila's FIRST trip to Kinnick Stadium. Mike and I debated the whole week on whether or not we were going to take her and we decided, why not?! She is such a laid back little girl that we didn't see any reason not to, so we packed the diaper bag full of food and diapers and slipped Lila into her black and gold and off we went!

Let's Go Hawks!

Keeping up with a family tradition!

Here come the Hawkeyes!

So this is what football is all about?!

Ahhhh...halftime!

It was an amazing day! Lila did SO well it was almost unbelieveable. The weather was absolutely beautiful and to make Lila's first experience even better my Dad gave us his club seats to use so we were able to still sit outside with the shade of the overhang, but use the really nice indoor facility if we needed to. She even managed to catch a few zzzz's despite the extremely loud fans, including her Mom and Dad...yelling at the top of their lungs at the Hawks trying to squeak out that win against UNI...I say you truly aren't a Hawkeye fan unless you are experiencing heart failure on Saturday's!

The rest of the weekend was spent with family and friends! We are so happy that we ended up taking Lila to the game and can't wait to tell her about her first experience...she attended her first game when she was 20 weeks, amazing!
