Way, way, way back in the day, Jon played football for the Lobos (which is actually how he ended up here!). We started dating the winter of his junior year, dated all through the start of the season and then got engaged right before the last game of the year. So, Lobo football will always have a special place in our hearts.

This year, they did a special dinner for the alumni the night before the opening game and we got to have a little football date. So much fun! It was so fun to see a lot of the old team and find out what everyone has been up to. A lot of them we haven’t seen since the college days. We poked around the complex and the field and I reminisced with the other now-wives about standing around the porch of the complex, waiting for our then-boyfriends to get done in the locker rooms so we could finally go eat something other than nachos for dinner. 😉 Such fun memories!

Right before the game, they honored the players of the 2008 season since they won a bowl game that year. Nathan and Parker got to go on the field with Jon and it was SO cute.

Love this. Our friend Eric took this when I was still trying to get into the stadium (LONG story – thank you to a particular lady who let me cut in line so I could at least make it in time to see them on the big screen!). The boys felt so big getting to do the special thing with Dad.

Love these two.

Afterward, we found our seats in the quickly packing-out stadium. Little Miss looked especially Lobo cute that night!

The whole crew! Bryant and Nicole weren’t there but we all spent most of the night thinking about them, because they were in the hospital with Gabriel’s new little brother and my new nephew!!

Such a daddy’s girl.

I started laughing so hard at this. Parker is typically a pretty reserved kid (never at home, always in public). The Lobos were down and all of a sudden, he just pops up on his seat and starts flashing the Lobo sign, trying to get the crowd to cheer them on. Ha! It didn’t work, but it was a good effort. 😉

Such a wonderfully fun night!!
