It is all things football the last 10 days.

Both boys have had two games.  Varsity won one of them 3-2!  Could have been 10-2 but a 70 yd run by Jacob got called back.  That game the team set a school record with 5 interceptions.  At that game, (as you will see in pictures) some of the students wrote J A C O B on their chests!)  A great defensive game.  In Jacob's 2nd game, he had a huge (legal) hit that sent a kid flying a few feet.  Fortunately he got up.  (Pretty sure he should have been on concussion list but they put him back in later.)

Joseph and Froshmore team won their second game 38-0.  Quite the shutout and how nice it was to be on the winning side.  Joseph has been in for most offensive plays!!  Beautiful weather both weekends!

Just a few pictures.

Busy weekend here!

Bow season opens tomorrow and Jacob is ready to go!!  He has tags for

It is all things football in this household.  Last week we had our first game.  All three teams lost but they all got on the scoreboard - which is an improvement.  Varsity was down 33-0 at half and lost 40-7, which means both teams played an even game the second half.  Tonight is the first home opener so lots of excitement.

The football coach is a hustler.  A T-Mobile rep reached out to him about a Friday Night Lights 5G contest they were hosting.  They invited our school to participate.  From what I understand there were 300 schools and it all came down to social media.  How many times the contest was shared on social media.  Our school won.  We won $5,000 a week for 4 weeks!!!  Now the contest progresses to step 2 and that winner received $25,000.  Then there is a final phase and that prize is a stadium remodel!!  We are one of the few, if not only, 2A school that does not have turf.  We could really use a remodel!  The further you go the less schools that are participating, so...who knows.

At the froshmore (freshman/sophomore) game on Saturday, the coach got heated.  He was in a chair near the goal line just watching - letting the froshmore coaches do their thing.  When he got up and starting yelling at someone on the sidelines to get their stuff and go home...you don't talk back to a coach...go on, get out of here.....there needs to be some discipline at this school.... Turns out it was one of the student managers.  I felt sorry for the kid for all of it to happen in front of the parents, but the coach made a huge statement!!  Not only to other players, but that he has the back of the coaches.

Joseph enjoyed his first game.  He is offensive and defensive line.  I think he likes defense better cause the only objective is to get the quarterback...you don't have to think about specific plays and how you need to line up to protect your quarterback.  Jacob scored the only touchdown in the varsity game.  He wears a monitor on his shirt and it said his top speed was 20 mph.  He averaged 6.6 yards a carry.

JR is almost done with his huge project!  Hopefully this next week.  He went on a 2 night back pack trip with some men from church and is going on one overnight this weekend.

#3 - that's my boy - he is a captain this year

Players dress up for game gays (Joseph was in a mood and chose not to)

Dot's Pretzels, finally came up with the perfect combination!  Love these and love the story that the lady who started them years ago was from a small town outside of Minot and she recently sold to one of the big brands (Nabisco?) for 1 billion!!

Did you hear about the armless US archer that just won gold at the Para Olympics??  Crazy determination!!!

Parents were able to decorate kids lockers at the school.  In years past, my boys didn't seem to care but this year I got to decorate!!  (Joseph didn't want his decorated)

Bree absolutely loves hanging outside in the sun at work!
