UVA Homecoming

Yesterday, was the UVA Homecoming Football Game versus Indiana. Jackie and Bob could not make the game because they were having dinner with Chris & Andrew (the guy who chopped off Bob's finger when they were little). So, we had extra tickets and asked Uncle Chris, Campbell and Jake to join us for the game.

It was a great day - great company; UVA killed Indiana 47-7; and delicious food!!! Cooper loved hanging out with Campbell (aka - Mammal) - he had to sit on her lap during the game and on the walk back he held her hand the entire way. I think if Isaiah catches wind of this he really is not going to like Cooper - Haha!

I think Campbell enjoyed her first UVA football game - can you believe she even wore a UVA sweatshirt (courtesy of Corey). Who knows we might make her a UVA fan after all!!!

Here are some more pictures from the day...

Grammy & Cooper cheering on the Hoos! Cooper added a new word this weekend to his growing vocabulary - Hoos!

Cooper picked up "Booing" without any help from us!

Another Boo from Cooper - it was hysterical!

Cooper says, "Dada our team really sucks!!! This is going to be really long season!"

UVA vs. Maryland - October 4th

UVA vs USC - August 30, 2008

Here are pictures from the 1st "Bear Crawl Hill" tailgate of the UVA 2008 Football Season! This was Cooper's 1st UVA football tailgate. Unfortunately he did not make it to the game. Due to the heat Jeanie, Cooper, Maddie and I headed to the Hooville Motel to watch the game in the air conditioning. Corey, Jackie, Bob, Lindsay, Lee, Allie, and Rachel (Allie's college roommate) braved the heat for the Hoos. For this posting we will just focus on the tailgate and forget about the game. I think it got cancelled or at least we wished it had!

UVA vs. UNC - Thursday, October 19, 2006

Here are some tailgating pictures from the UVA v. UNC football game. We had a some awesome additions (my cousins - Jeannie, Lee, Jessie & Allie and Corey's college buddies - Park & Wombat) to our normal tailgating crew (Corey, Jackie, Bob and myself). We had a great time catching up and eating a yummy assortment of food!

UVA Homecoming - September 16, 2006

The game was not much fun to watch this week. UVA lost to Western Michigan 17-10. Unfortunately, UVA's football team is really going to struggle this year. UVA has tried three quarterbacks thus far...I feel like I am watching the Redskins with a quarterback controversy.

On a positive note, the band is awesome! All in all, we have decided that this year's focus is on tailgating! So if anyone comes to C'ville for a game give us a call to tailgate. Go HOOS!
