Vandal Game with Paul's bestie

We brought Paul's bestie Connor down to one of the games when Rylee was cheering for her team.  It was his first time at the dome and he had a lot of fun!

UI Homecoming

Vandal Homecoming was a success!  We hit the bookstore, made it to the parade, visited Great Grandma, partook in some tailgating and watched the Vandals play some football!

After Rylee's 2nd cheerleading game, we headed down to Moscow for some Vandal football.  Felt good to be back in the Dome!

Vandal Football or something that sort of resembled football

Papa, the kids and I headed down to Moscow last night to catch the season opener for the Vandals.  Well, the game was not a great game, but we stayed through the whole thing and kept thinking...we can only get better.  No matter the outcome, we still had a great time!  It was good to see everyone around the dome tailgating, watching the marching band, playing on the field, having some popcorn, etc...

Vandal Game vs. Hawaii

Rob, Papa, the kids and I headed down to Moscow for the Vandal game last weekend.  We got to see GG Strobel at the hospital who is healing from a fall.  She was so happy to see the kiddos!  Isn't she a beauty??

 Chicago Bears quarterback Nathan Enderle was there (they had a bye week)

Coach Akey

On the Vandals bye week, Coach Akey was up in the area scouting some players.  We ended up getting to meet him at the CHS game thanks to one of Rob's co-workers!  Paul looked TINY next to him!  

Vandal Homecoming

Rob, Papa, the kids and I headed down to Moscow for the University of Idaho Homecoming Parade and Football game.  The Vandals did not preform very well on the football field, but we still had a good time! 

Here are the Strobel Men ~ Bill, Rob and Scott (with Tobin on his back)

 One of my best girlfriends Robin!  We were tailgating before the game...isn't her little tummy the cutest!  Can't wait to meet Baby MacDonald!

 Sidewalk Chalk!! (On a side note, we have been going to these games for several years and never once thought...we should bring sidewalk chalk.  Well, the group next to us had kids and brought some chalk and all of the kids joined in!)

 Our little family!

Thankful, Week 38

The weather is cooling down and it's football season!  Hooray!  Thankful that I live so close to Moscow so we can head down to the games!

Idaho v. North Dakota ~~~ Vandals Win!!!

Grandma Vickie and I headed down to Moscow last Saturday with the kiddos for some Vandal football.  Poor Pops had to work graveyard so wasn't able to come because he was sleeping.  We had a lot of fun and the kids found Joe Vandal this time!

Vandals v. Bowling Green

Not the best game ever, but we still had a good time!  It's football season BABY!!!  PS ~ Rylee is still sleeping at 9:40am since we were up so late last night!

 We ran into an old friend and made a new friend (Rylee, Kennedy and Ava)
