The Tennessees are Coming!

We have lots to post from our weekend, but the most important event of the whole weekend was the UT game. The Vols finally got another win, albeit ugly. More importantly, Cooper got to attend his second UT game and this one was far better than last year, when he was recovering from stitches in his upper lip and lack of sleep. The title of this blog came from Cooper at the end of half-time. He wanted to know when the team was coming back and when I told him "soon" he said "the Tennessees are coming!!" in the most excited voice I had ever heard! Once, during the game Chip said "Come on, we just need 5 yards." Cooper would NOT stop saying "5 yards???" for the entire second half. When Stephens completed a long pass to Gerald Jones, Cooper jumped up and down and cheered with everyone else, asking me "5 yards? 5 yards?"

This same picture was taken last year on Daddy's shoulders. Maybe we can get one every year from now on! That might get difficult after about age 10, but who cares?!

We're missing a couple of Webb boys from this picture...maybe next year Sam and Grandad can join them!

The happiest Vol fan in all of Neyland Stadium (guaranteed!)

1 of about 95,000 in orange. "Look at all the orange people Mommy!!!!!"

This was after the game, somewhere around 10PM. The smile definitely had not faded. And although he was asleep by the time we were half-way home, his mood had not changed from the start of the game. We were extremely happy we decided to take him!

We have more pictures and some videos of Cooper doing the wave, cheering and chanting "DEFENSE, DEFENSE" (not always when necessary!). We also have some other pictures from the weekend, but the blog wouldn't hold that many!!
