Ram Proud

Amy became the new CSU recruiting representative for Leprino Foods this year.  That meant lots of fun new perks; including attending the CSU Gala!  We were lucky enough to get a few friends to join us too.

It was another fun season for the Rams.  No, we didn't have the best record this year (coach Bobo stepped up into his first year after coach McElwin moved on to Florida), but we sure had fun at our tailgates!  Sept 5th was our first game back!  We were excited for our new privileges this year as Kris joined the Rams Athletes Alumni Association.  That meant free pizza and soda in the alumni room at halftime.  Amy was also pretty jazzed to hang out with Garrett Grayson (former QB) for a bit.

The very next weekend started the "season of the gloves".  Karsten found out his cute little face was able to obtain some rockin' ram gloves from the CSU players.  This was his first pair that he coveted... until he got his next three pair the following games.  This kid is either super lucky, super cute or both! I go with both.  Kasey was too busy running around with Camden to get any pics of him.  Man, that kid is fast!

Hard to believe, but hours before the CSU/cu showdown... Cam#24 moved on to football heaven. We didn't even know until we saw Cam#25 down on the field at the game!  Crazy to see the difference in age of these guys.  This is definitely the youngest Cam I have ever seen.  Will be fun to watch him grow.

The annual CSU vs cu is always a fun game.  We have historically hosted at our house, but with only a couple more years left at Mile High.. on Sept 19th, we had to see what all the fun was about.  Our seats were on the 20 yard line in the 6th row, however, some of us lucked out with front row!

The Oct 10th game was fun for a couple of reasons.  The first and best reason was the large tailgate crew we had! Probably the best showing of the year.  The other was Amy cashing in on a few more Leprino perks.  We were invited to the alumni tailgate tent!

Oct 17th was exciting due to a special visitor!  The boys were up at Elk Camp, which meant mom was in town for a visit!  What fun to get her up for a game!

Another visitor at the Oct 31st game?  No way! We sure lucked out this year with visiting Ram fans! Karsten was pretty excited to hang with his Godmother; especially since she would play football with him.  Did you catch the game was on ... Yes... Halloween!  The kids got to trick or treat and wear their costumes in the game.  Aren't they cute!?!?

We have only one pic from the Nov 14th game as this was our "Staycation of 2015".  More on that later, but the gist was a weekend away (as the kids enjoyed snuggles with Gma and Gpa Cannode) to Greeley, CO for a little pheasant hunting.  Since we were hunting that day... we didn't make it in time for tailgating (or kickoff!), but were lucky enough to score all access passes to watch from the sidelines for a bit! Thanks Duffy!

Our State, Our Stadium, Our Time.  This was the theme of 2015 as CSU began building the new on-campus stadium; which is planned to debut Fall of 2017.  CSU hosted a brick campaign fundraiser and the Cannodes couldn't wait to be a part of history!  We were so excited that we ended up with brick #57!  We can't wait to see the finished product!  Ram Proud, Indeed!
