{Sunday Snapshot} A day with the Eagles...

Today I got to spend the day with my three favorite people. 

And it was so good.

Today the Leary Clan piled in the truck and headed down to Boston College.

We've all been to BC football games...

just not EVER all together...

Ryan has been with each of us separately...

but today...we got to go as a family...

That right there makes it a pretty rockin day...

Now add that the weather was absolutely beautiful...

As in perfect.

Like...it couldn't have been better...

We watched the boys run through the tunnel onto the field.



Reilly high fived most of the players...and the Eagle mascot.


Alumni Stadium is a special place for Ryan...
He started going there when he was a little boy with his Dad.
Now he's taking his girls there...



and the intense love of this place continues...

From Their Papa...
To their Dad...
To them...



Come on...

hot dogs..


and Snow cones...



It doesn't get much better than that.

It was REALLY hot.

but I'll take that because I've been there when it has been wicked cold.

and I will take the scorching heat.

Reilly... not so much...

This kid was OVER-heated...and trying to prevent a sun burn.


No matter what the weather...
these kids always know how to have a good time...

The "robot" is fun anywhere right?!





and of course... any time I am with this guy...
especially on a weekend...
it a good day.



Sometimes...I have to stop what I am in the middle of...
and remember just how lucky I am...

To have these people...
to pick me up when I am down..
and to remind me what what life is all about..

It's about these times...
with these  people...

It's about Ryan being able to take this team...this place...these memories...
and give them to his children...

(I just know he is STILL praying ONE of his girls is an EAGLE one day...)

and of course it doesn't hurt when you look this good in maroon and gold!





I catch myself looking at others and feeling jealous.
Jealous of their new car...
or larger house...
or more babies...
There are so many things I want...
So many things I wish I could have...

and then a day like today happens...
and I am reminded...

That I already have it all!



Come on over to Sunday Snapshot with Stefanie and her crew!





Ni Hao Y'all

What a lovely group you are. You asked how old my purple haired daughter is, she's 20. A bit past the point where I choose her hair color. I do think it looks nice though, she can pull it off. I'm not sure it's help with her job hunting though...
I be curious to know what you decide about the the pink hair question. Best wishes my new friend.
