1st Snow of the season....

Just wanted to document this.. OCTOBER 10th -- that's got to be some kind of record.
Goodbye to my flowers!

Second Place isn't so bad after all.....

We went to Connor's Football Banquet and Awards Night yesterday. It was fun to see him so happy with his trophies, one for Conference Champions and the other for Super Bowl Runners-Up. I took a few pictures, although it was really dark in the event's complex.
Here are the big studs -- the sixth graders. Connor is obviously goofing off and hamming it up. When Connor gets silly, there's no turning back!

The Super Bowl came early this year....

Connor's team won the "AFC Championship" game last week against the "Colts" and met the "Cowboys" (WYOMING Cowboys -- not Dallas!) at the Super Bowl on Saturday. It was a cold and rainy day, but the kids were pumped up and excited as they rode down the streets in the back of the coach's truck with their banner on the side. The parents drove in a caravan behind them up to the park.
They announced each player by name individually since it was the big game, and the sixth grader's last.
The co-captains meet in the middle of the field for a pre-game handshake and coin toss. (Connor is #92)


It was a very close game and the score was 6 - 6 at halftime. Despite all their efforts and a good game, the Broncos lost 26 - 12. Connor was definately disappointed but it was a really good experience for him to be on this team and be coached well. We look forward to watching him next year in Jr. High!
