Sports Week 4

We were back at C. Milton on Monday to make up the postponed game from the week before.

Unfortunately it was blazin' hot and humid and the girls just didn't look as sharp as they did the night of the thunderstorms. It's still so wonderful to watch my girl play!

A little double team action!

Our girls fought hard but the heat just zapped a lot of their energy plus C. Milton always has such a tough team! We ended up losing 2-0.
On Wednesday we played at home against Havre de Grace. Although we are still playing on the practice field, it was nice to be home playing against a pretty easy team.

Two of her fans!

Savannah had a great game, scoring 2 goals, one of which was a header. Edgewood with the win, 6-1.

The cheering squad - Larry, HB, Tyreak, Max, and Xander.

Her sweet teammate, Carly.

Thursday night lights for Xander's game. We played at Harford Tech's stadium against C. Milton. Xander got lots of playing time and was able to get several tackles as well as a sack.

It was such a beautiful evening for some football!

We came away with another win!

Friday night Noah attended the first annual spaghetti dinner for the two Emmorton Buc U12 teams. All the boys and coaches got dressed up and had a great time together. I'm so grateful he's part of such a wonderful team!

The B team - Noah's team.

Both teams. They clean up pretty well!

Saturday was Noah's big Homecoming game against Aberdeen. Go Bucs!

Each of the players had his name announced as he ran to the middle of the field. Noah gave a little dab before he took off.

Yep, I got to hold the flag!

Here they come!

I love how excited Noah is!!

I love when the photographer dad from the other Bucs team is there because he always gets such great pictures of our boys. Love watching my #3!

Noah was made defensive captain and it was fun to watch him direct his teammates on defense. He had several tackles and a fumble recovery.

Unfortunately we ended up losing but our guys really played hard and only lost 21-6.

After the game we headed over to the pavilion for some pizza, drinks, candy, and dessert. The coaches had even bought flowers for each of the boys to give to their moms.

Ward Cookout

We braved it being Friday the 13th and headed out to the middle of the woods for our ward cookout!  We had such a fun time with our good friends and ward family.

Of course David and Mike were in charge of the dutch oven desserts. They are definitely pros at providing yumminess to us all.

The vultures are waiting, ha ha!!

Loved hangin' with our awesome missionaries and newest ward member, Roger.

Hey, there's one of my kids!

Grace and I being a little different...

And there's one of my other kids. Noah was ready to go!

Sports - Week 3

Edgewood vs Hammond

Savannah had a great game with one goal and an assist to Abby.

Our girls came away with the win, 3-0.

Savanah's second game of the week against C. Milton was pushed back in time due to thunderstorms in the area. The skies finally cleared enough for them to start the game but unfortunately, 15 minutes in, the storms were back with a vengeance and the game had to be postponed. It's a shame because our girls were playing so tough!!
Thursday was game day for this guy!

Our turf still hasn't been laid and probably won't be until the beginning of October so our guys have to play in other stadiums. Today it was up at Havre de Grace against Elkton.

X got in for about 5-6 plays and was in on a tackle.

It was an extremely hot day and there was a scary moment when one of our players collapsed on the sideline due to the heat. He was worked on and then an ambulance was called. Thank goodness he was okay. More good news - our team came away with the win!

These guys are having fun together! My guy is hidden in the back, behind #50.

Xander and his long time buddy, Devin.

Time for Noah's game!

This week we got to play against Joppatowne whose team is definitely more on our level. It was a good game and you could see our guys gaining some confidence as we made plenty of tackles and good plays.

Although we lost, the boys had much more fun. It was a close game and our team walked away feeling much better about themselves. Noah kept saying how much fun he had which was music to my ears!
