Our litte dawg and his first big game...

October 18, 2008 will go down in history in the Dennis family. For on this beautiful day, Jackson attended his first UGA football game. It could have been stressful, it could have been hard, it could have been raining, it could have been hot, he could have been whiny, there could have been tears, we could have said 'never again'...but it was none of those things. It was....absolutely perfect. All of the expectations Brad and I had bulit up in our minds were completely and totally exceeded. I know many of you are probably thinking..."Is she kidding? It was just the kid's first football game and she's making it sound like his college graduation or something." If you're thinking that, you're right, you're sane, and you don't know my husband :) His love for Georgia football is something I cannot explain or even understand...all I can do is support it because it is so important to him. And as a father, he longs for his sons to have the same love (can someone please find me another word?...this doesn't even begin to describe it) for these Georgia Bulldogs as he does. And so, on Saturday, Jackson went to his first game with Mommy, Daddy, Chief, and Kikye. Hope you enjoy this selection of the near 100 pictures from the day's events.

The cake to commemorate the event (Brad had a similar cake for his first game)

Headed to the stadium...

FIRST QUARTER

Playing with the field glasses kept us entertained...


SECOND QUARTER
A sucker to keep us sitting still for a little while

Meeting Hairy Dawg...doesn't Jackson look thrilled?

THIRD QUARTER
We're over the game, and much more interested in Mommy's compact hairbrush


FOURTH QUARTER
We're back in the game (but still have the hairbrush)...

...and we're over it again

One exhausted little bulldog :)

Too bad this little bulldog couldn't go...he would have been the cutest fan there :)

Those pictures are great! I am sure this is just the beginning of many memories between the hedges for him!

the word(s) you are looking for:
obsession
passion
fanaticism (is this a word?)
zeal
enthusiasm

just to name a few. Those Dennis men do love their Bulldogs! I expect no less from Jackson.

Also, look at the picture of Jackson with Terry and Vickye....he looks SOOOOO much like Terry!
