Game Time - Football :)

#46, front and center.  Thatcher's first game went great.  He played both ways, and multiple positions.  It was fun to watch, and that boy's smile?  We never get tired of it :)

Tagg #50 - played nose guard this first game because the kid who usually plays that position recently had his appendix removed.  Hope to be back in his regular position soon.  Morgan lost, but played hard.  Ridgeline was pretty tough.  Mark and Carried came up to support Tagg, and we really appreciated that.  Tagg is one of the team captains.  He has worked hard, and really deserved it.

MHS Football kickoff !

Tagg's football card  - Pretty Tuff !! 

 

CJ and Zac worked so hard to make this happen.  CJ as Senior Mom has alot of responsibility, and Zac is right there with her to help.  Thatcher (middle pic) was introduced with his Little League Team also.  Love our #46 

They introduced the Seniors

And they were able to sign their cards for everyone.  
It was a great night - click here for video 

Fair Time

We ate dinner at the fair all three days.  Friday we took Mom, and met LuAnn there, and Zac and CJ and Treyson were there also.  Grabbed this great picture. 

 

Thatcher spent alot of time there also with his friends.  Click here to see fun video of him riding a "bull".

Baseball has started !

 

We've got three grandkids playing

Thatcher is playing for Morgan's recreation team.  Their first game was in Park City.  Thatcher is the catcher.  Here's a video of some of his plays 

Payson plays competition baseball, his team is Venom, based out of Farmington.  Here's a video of a few of his hits. 

Bexlee is playing machine pitch.  She is on a team with Darrin Frost's grand-daughter.  Click here for video. 

Football - Already ? ! !

7 on 7 for Thatcher

5 on 5 for Tagg

 

When Roger, and even Landon played football in high school, the first game (Maroon and White scrimage) was the week before school started in August, and football practice started 2 weeks prior to that.  Times have sure changed !  Seems like football season is from April to November now.  They have been weight lifting since before wrestling stopped, and now are competing in 7 or 7 and 5 on 5 scrimmages.   Click here to see a little bit about what 7 or 7 is, and here to see a little bit about 5 on 5. 

Tagg is continuing working with Tuni Kanuch, and was asked to be on his travel team.  They have traveled to St. George and Eagle Idaho.  Tagg goes up again HUGE Tongans, who are only Freshmen and Sophomores.  He's enjoying it an learning alot. 

Thatcher competes with his Morgan teammates.  He is a fun loving easy going kid, and is always happy.

Day before Thanksgiving is always fun ! 
They had a good breakfast, but didn't hike to the "M" because of the snow.  They went up around the cemetery, and the older wrestlers were paired with the little league wrestlers, to get to know them better.  Such a great idea ! 

Thatcher got thumped on at the Weber tournament, but he's a trooper ! 
Click here to watch his great effort 

Grandpa gives good advice :) 

Wrestling starts !

Thatcher competed in the Will Pentz Memorial Wrestling Tournament on Saturday, November 9th.  It's going to be an exciting year !  We are really looking forward to it.

Swimming.............

When they first added the water to the pool, I believe it was about 50 degrees

After they got back from Disneyland, they took off the pool cover, and the temperature had increased to 85 degrees !!  

Thatch got in for a very little bit - still recovering from his tonsillectomy :(

Zac has started the platform/deck building process. 

 

I even got in last Saturday evening !!! 

From FUN to this !!

Got home Sunday night, and early Monday morning, THIS !! 

 

Home resting up this week...........
No mowing for Thatcher !!! 

Flag Football

Had a great time watching flag football last night.  Thatcher caught a touchdown pass, and THREW  a touchdown pass.  Check out this fun short video. 

 

Mow and Freeze and Bleach

Roger bought another 30" mower........#6
Guess who has first dibbs ?   haha !  

Thatcher helped to water the garden the other night, just before our big freeze.  We were able to cover the tomatoes and peppers, and we didn't lose them.  It appears the corn and peas were not even touched.  Maybe they are hardier than tomatoes and peppers. 

Thatch and Treyson had their hair bleached by CJ the other night.  Crazy kids !!
