23-35Wow!
UI Marching Band plays the Vandal Fight Song!
Vandals are now 6-1!!! This hasn't happened in a LONG time...before I graduated from high school! Playing against Hawaii was especially fun for us because Ryan's parents were watching the game at home on the islands. We went to the game with Ricky, Kerry, Charlie, Andy, and Jaina; Corey and Jeffrey met us there. It's been a long time since I went to a home game (I think the last time was when Hawaii more than tripled the score against UI). It was great to go with a group and enjoy the game.
Noah and I hanging out before the game. We made hot dogs and sausages for lunch!! Then Grandmas Paula and Becky came to babysit Noah so we could walk over to the Dome for the game.
Andy and Ryan grilling the cheese dogs (NOM NOM) and smoked sausages. It was a good lunch to get us ready to cheer on the Vandals!
Warriors warming up on the field.
Vandal dog of the game from the Humane Society of the Palouse!
Molly was the vandal dog of the game at the UI v UH game, you can view her and other animals at HSoP at www.petfinder.com!http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=14699920&mtf=1
Molly
Breed: Saint Bernard St. Bernard [Mix] Sex: Female Age: Senior Size: Large
About Me: Molly needs a loving home that she can enjoy the rest of her years in. She has been passed around and pretty much hasn't had the care she deserves. She is a sweet dog, but when she came to us she was about 25 pounds under weight and was loosing her hair because her fleas were so bad. She is on her way to recovery but still has a long way to go on the the weight gain and hair growth. If you have a nice comfortable home that needs a big couch potato then this dog is for you.

And now back to the game......
The players & Coach Rob Akey enter the Kibbe Dome with pride and lots of smoke!
Both teams on the field just before the start of the game.
Jaina, Mandie, & Corey on the field after the game.
The University of Idaho marching band doing the Michael Jackson "Thriller" dance after the game. Good job guys!
Thriller dance continued.....
After we watched the marching band, we ran down onto the field to see if Jeffrey and Ryan could find a football. Alas, none were found. On the bright side Ryan did get a picture with Warrior #23, running back Leon Wright-Jackson, a senior from Pasco, WA! It was also just fun to walk about on the turf. We saw a few people we knew--gave hugs and hellos--then said aloha to Corey & Jeffrey as Ryan, Andy, Jaina and I walked home to our house on the hill to hang out and have strawberry margaritas!
What a fun filled day. I'm so thankful for days like this with my family and friends.
Ryan and UH player #23, what a nice guy!
Oh, look! There's Jeffrey too, haha. You guys are silly.What an awesome day we had; two great teams will meet once again. I can't wait for next time.
Great game!
GO VANDALS!! GO WARRIORS!!
The Palouse from top of the UI Arboretum.
Beautiful hodge podge of colors.
Mama and I with our favorite yellow trees.
Blanket of red.
Jaina and Noah lazing about in the red leaves.
Red leaves blanketing the ground around these trees. It was inevitable...we had to roll around in them.
Noah didn't appreciate lying in the leaves alone.
Sistas in the arboretum. Loving the colors and enjoying a walk together on a beautiful cool fall day!
I love the orange and red colors.
Footings for Daddy and Gail's house overlooking the marvelous Palouse.
With my Padre at the property. Great views!
A view of Moscow from the property. Can't wait to see this view again soon when the house is finished! It will be beautiful and in a perfect spot to watch the changing colors of Moscow every fall.
