First – to give everyone an update on the “media guide photo shoot” from yesterday; I guess only the coaches’ family pictures will be in the media guide. Everyone else will just have their family picture up in Schembechler Hall. So I got myself all worked up about this for no reason. Oh, and Mallory didn’t smile in ANY of the pictures – she had the deer in the headlights look in every single picture. That was way cool.
BUT – the highlight of the photo shoot trip to Gaga’s work is that Mallory gave both Rich Rodriguez and his wife Rita “knuckles”. Can you stand it?

Today was the Women’s Football Academy – Mallory & I spent the whole day at the camp and it was pretty fun. I got to meet some of the coaches and their wives that I hadn’t met before so that was cool. Mallory was good all day and was getting into all the “bootball”.
After bootball camp, we had Mallory’s BFF Alli, aka “YaYa” and her parents out for a boat trip. The girls are SOOOOO great together – they NEVER fight or get mad at each other. They are good sharers and just laugh & giggle all the time.
Mallory loves it when Rick goes fast on the boat. As soon as we have to slow down for one of the no-wake areas, she would turn around and sign “more” to Rick.

A random Mallory story – she knows Cooper likes sticks. If she sees a stick, she picks it up and tells me “buh-buh” and then wants to take it to Cooper. This can happen in the parking lot at daycare or in our yard. When she gives the stick to Cooper, he ends up crunching it into two pieces, and then Mallory tries to give him the little broken piece too.
I love the “knuckles” to Coach Rodriguez. Bob thought that was hilarious.
