Friday Night Lights

One of my favorite nights with Upwards is Friday Night Lights. I loved that tonight was Tristan's night to lead the team out of the tunnel! It was still a rough week for the Rams with a 12 - 18 loss but they played much better this week! Your time will come Rams!

Cyndi Lauper

Well, this night ended up being a bit short for us. As Tristan and I headed out to meet the girls I was literally calling Sheree to see if I needed a tarp and the rain began to pour. Tristan had a bit of a nap as we headed out across town and by the time we arrived to the field the rain had subsided a bit. We packed in all our rain gear and planned to weather the storm. One thing I love about Outlaw Field is that you can bring in your own cooler's. We all had our own snack and brought enough to share. As the open act began to play a few drops started to fall. Tristan was being a trooper and once Cyndi hit the stage it really began to rain. We tried to hold out but with an 8 year old he got cold quick. The rain just became too much so we headed out. I was a bit bummed that we missed a few of her hits but the girls still got it! 

Another great night with great friend!

 

 

Upwards Game 2

So, though these guys don't have a winning record Tristan is having a stellar year! He is all over the place. Touchdowns, interceptions, flag pulls,  helping the other kids that are not quit as far along. I could not be more proud. Laying the foundation!

First Upward Game of the Season

Another Upwards Season is underway. I can't begin to tell you how much I love this organization, this Christian based sports program may not teach our kids to win, that will come in time, but it is giving him the foundation that he will build on for the rest of his life. That is why I have him in this program. We did loose today but Tristan gained so much more than the score of the game.
