Happy Birthday!

I had a great birthday celebration on 9-9. The girls at the clinic did a great job to make my day feel special. The day after, on Saturday, we had our Birthclass at Baptist. It was informative and worthwhile. Then, we cheered the Hogs to another victory!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

Pig Sooooie!

Cara and I took a girl's trip to Fayetteville over Labor Day weekend. We shopped, ate well, and cheered the Hogs to a victory! It was a beautiful game day, but still warm!

Already spoiled…

My dad went to Boston a few weeks ago for a business trip. While there, grandpa made a few souvenir purchases for his first grandchild. I guess I no longer rate, because I didn't get anything :(


Are we excited or what?

Thanks, Grandpa!

Birthdays, birthdays!!!

This past weekend we celebrated my dad's 60th and Marj's Birthdays! My mom rented a lakehouse on Lake Hamilton, and we all relaxed and spent time together. We took the boat out on Saturday, and man it was rough. I forgot to take pictures on the boat :(





Saturday evening, Brian and Alan grilled steaks, and the girls cooked the sides.





Happy 60th birthday dad! We forgot candles for him to blow out!





We bought him a grill for his birthday. Hope he plans on grilling for us soon!

Love you dad. Can't believe you're 60, but the best times of your life are about to begin!

And Happy Birthday Marj, so glad you're a part of our family!!!

Are you ready for some football???

Now that vacation is over, I'm ready for summer to be over and fall to be in full swing. We got our season tickets in the mail just as soon as we got home from the beach. The Bickford household is ready for some football!


I cannot wait to watch some Razorback football! I received my September Southern Living magazine in the mail, and it was devoted to football in the south. I loved this top ten list and have to share.

The 10 Commandments of College Football Fandom

1. Thou shalt wear team colors. But think twice before adorning yourself with body paint- you don't want to be the Internet photo that goes viral.
2. Thou shalt know-and sing- your team's fight song from beginning to end. Sure, you can "watermelon watermelon" your way through the alma mater, but not memorizing the fight song is a fan failure.
3. Thou shalt keep your language clean (unless, of course, the quarterback fumbles on fourth and goal).
4. Thou shalt support the coach. Even when his calls are questionable.
5. Thousand shalt be respectful to visiting teams. Remember: Southern ladies and gentlemen never boo.
6. Thou shalt set up a tailgate no fewer than three hours before kickoff (six if it's a night game). Table linens and matching huggers encouraged, but not required.
7. Thou shalt theme your tailgate food around the visiting rival. Gator bites, anyone?
8. Thou shalt stay through the fourth quarter-rain or shine. That's what ponchos are for, y'all.


9. Thou shalt respect the solemnity of Game Day by planning weddings, births, and other life events around the football schedule. (Good thing I'm due on a Wednesday between the South Carolina and Tennessee game!)
10. Thou shalt not covet other teams' bowl games, national championships, or Heisman Trophy wins. There's always next year…

Go Hogs Go!
