A Beautiful Day in Oxford...until we lost

March 7, 2009---Last Saturday was a miserable day in Oxford but this weekend we had our beautiful day in Oxford. We were on the Square at 11 am, met Ryan for lunch at Proud Larry's, did some shopping, took over Square Books Jr. and Treehouse Toys for an undetermined amount of time, had dessert on the balcony of Square Books, and then headed to the Grove to play until tip-off. I know, you're jealous just reading this---LOL!!

Anna Catherine can't leave the Square without sitting in Mr. Faulkner's lap:

I'm sure there's some "smack talk" going on:

We met up with Oliver and Emily for a short time before the game:

Then we walked to the basketball game. It was a really good game but there were a lot of bad calls. In the end we lost by 2 points.

Jackson fell asleep within the first five minutes of being there. There was no way to lay him down so Rick had to hold him up.

The guy in the blue shirt (kind of in the middle) is the one and only Keith Carter. Star player for the Rebs 1996-1999, he is now the color commentator for Ole Miss basketball. I can remember back in the day when he wore knee socks and would jump on the press table and pump up the crowd....oh the memories...the Tad Pad was rockin' back then and I never missed a game...

This was the Cobra security guy in front of our section. Not very intimidating, huh? Whitney said she thought the two of us could take him. I said that I thought Jackson could take him--hahaha.

guess who was in a horrible mood when he woke up:

Fancy Nancy joined us for the ride home. Anna Catherine's best friend LOVES Fancy Nancy so AC is getting "into" her. AC had some birthday/allowance money that was burning a hole in her pocket and just had to be spent at Square Book Jr. She opted for Fancy Nancy items:
