Friday Night Lights

One of the things that I truly love about the Upwards Sports Program is how fun they make it for the kids. Not only are they learning Christian values and sportsmanship in a team environment but they make each week a different experience. This week Friday Night Lights. The organization rents lights and the kids play on Friday night. How exciting for the kids!

Bring on The Super Hawks!

BSU 34 vs Louisiana-Lafeytte 9

Man, you know it's love when a Vandal paints you in Blue and Orange! I was not feeling up to painting and Sheree volunteered. Gotta love it! She did a pretty darn good job too!

Good enough Tristan and I made the Big Screen!

Family Fun!

Buster showed the south endzome some love!

Another round of high fives from the team! 

Tristan absolutely loves this1

Super Hawks Game 2

Today is going to be one long day. It began with Picture day for the football team, a Hawks football game, then a birthday party, then Sushi with the girls, then Boise State Football. 

Pictures went great an TJ was defiantly ready to play!

Hey, there is an Air Show in Mountain Home...

Grandma made it 2 weeks in a row... that is pretty good!

Thanks babe for getting her there!

This game was simply amazing. Tristan had a great run but I was so excited I didn't get any pictures of it. No touchdowns for TJ today but the team was on fire. They mastered their playbook and ran away with the game! It was so awesome to see!

A Night With Amy Grant & Michael W. Smith

I love outdoor concerts, and the setting at The Botanical Gardens is spectacular! I love that you can take in your own goodies and sit and enjoy the great music with family!

I love my family!

Weekend Getaway

Following the football game, Tex, TJ, Auntie, and I headed up to spend some time with Dad and Sue at Tamarack. They have been up there a couple of weeks and this was the only time we were really going to get to spend some time with them. 

When we arrived TJ was eager to have a serious game of checkers with Pa Pa.

After the checker game Sue made us a wonderful steak dinner and then Pa Pa showed Tristan his mastery, fire starting abilities. This could be a good or a bad thing : )

Marshmallows... why sure!

Sunday we set out to do some fishing! We headed down to the Tamarack Falls Bridge and outside of seeing a few fish we didn't really have any luck landing any. Good news is the company was great!

Love this picture of Dad and Auntie!

Since we didn't catch any fish at Tamarack we stopped at the softball fields in Cascade and did a little fishing at the pond. Tristan landed this little trout and some neighboring fisherman talked him into keeping it. And yes, we brought it home, cleaned it and cooked it up!

Hawks Football 2014

Upwards football is well under way! Far cry from last year. This year he has come home with a play book and a practice plan. Opening day calls for a lot of bounce houses! 

I love how he still towers over the rest of his team.

That is my boy snagging that flag!

I hope we can keep this focus for many years to come!

Mom, Auntie and Daddy made it a family affair.
