Ya Think????????????????

Karrie and I took the girls to Lagoon for a couple of hours today and we saw this sign while waiting in line for the Spider. Lagoon is looking out for us, I was just about ready to scale the six foot wall to have a sit on the pointed rod iron fence. Its a good thing I took up that readin' stuff in school. Do you really think Lagoon has had a problem with people sitting on this thing??? I know they would only do it once.

Slaying The Spartans!

Wow what a difference a week can make. After have been in battles the last two weeks with Bingham and Riverton we had Olympus this last week. We had heard that Olympus was not that good, they had beat West Jordan 7-6 but that was there only win. So last week we made sure everyone on our team would have a starting position on either offense or defense. They were pretty good size, but then again we are not that big so everyone tends to look big. Well we got the ball and scored, we kicked off and they ran the ball back to the ten and I am thinking oh crap. Well we held them on 4 downs and got the ball back and drove down and scored again. We scored almost at will the half time score was 34-0. In the second half we moved our players around to spots they had never played before, two of our lineman who are not X players got to run the ball and they each scored a touchdown which was pretty cool. The final score was 47-0. In the 7 years I have coached these boys this was by far the worst team we have played.

Testing out Picasa

 

Follow up on the Spelling test

Well after being blown away about how tough Payton's spelling words were, she went and got a 100% on her test! I am very proud of her for learning those words in such a short time. Way to go Payton. I have to also give Riley her props, she also got 100% on her test. They must take after there Mom.

4th Grade Spelling Words....Are you kidding me???

O.K. I know I am no Einstein as a matter a fact I get remind by my beautiful wife that I am and I quote "sharp as a marble". But check out the spelling words Payton has this week. I had spelling words like these when I was in school the only difference is I was in High School and not a 9 year old 4th grader. I don't think I could spell all the words on her list. O.K. o.k. I know I couldn't as a matter of fact I am not sure I am pronouncing some of them correctly. But really when was the last time you had to spell the word quintessential in a sentence or even use it in conversation??? What would we do with out spell check? Seriously though I am amazed at how much kids can learn and do if just given the chance. Maybe I can still impress Riley with my knowledge of her spelling words? After all how hard could 2nd grade spelling be, right?????

The Misery goes on!

Well this week we had Riverton and we knew it would be a tough game, last year we beat them by a point. We lost 6-0 ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! The Refs were a lot better this week, although one did signal a touchdown for Riverton once when they crossed the 10 yard line. Our defense played really good again only giving up one big play for a touchdown. It is hard to lose when you only give up six points, the last two weeks we have only given up 13 points total. Today we did not help ourselves at all. We had a big punt return that got us down to about there 20 but it was called back for a block in the back. So instead of being 20 yards away we ended up being more like 60 yards. Then we had a big pass for a first down that got called back because of a hold. We just made to many mistakes on offense today. We have not scored in two weeks!! I was impressed again with our boys, they just keep fighting until the end, they don't give up and they leave it all out on the field. Oh I forgot to mention it was pouring rain the whole game. So after Micahs game ends at 3:30 we have about an hour before Paytons soccer game, so we hurried and ate at Sonic then it was off to soccer. This soccer complex in West Jordan is GIGANTIC. You have to drive to the different parts it is so big, unfortunately the parking is not so big. Well this tournament that Paytons team is in has some really good teams and we played one of them today. We lost something like 6 or 7 to 1 I stopped keeping track after the first 10 min. we were the first team to score on them however. Payton played goalie for the first half and it was non stop action for her, she did a real good job. She is fearless and dives onto that ball with no regards to all the feet trying to kick it.

Cool Picture

 

This picture was taken right before the Copper Hills game a couple of Sat. ago.I thought it was cool how the sun was coming down through the clouds. All I had was my cell phone camera so it is not the greatest photo.
