Game 3

Week 3 of the season is behind us and another shut out goes in the win column.

The team was a little flat in the first half, but the boys found their stride in the second half to go on to post a 34-0 win against the East Mesa Moccasins.

Cody had another great game on defense, and another stellar day on offense, scoring 2 touch downs, both on long plays. First one came in the first half on a double reverse, and Cody just flat out ran their whole defense for about 60 yards. The second score came on the very next possession, he caught a pass for about 5-6 yards then proceeded to break several tackles on his way to about a 40-45 yard score. After ward he told me he had never been so tired in a game, kinda funny they work way harder in practice!!!!

Onward to week 4 and a much better opponent!!! I'll keep you posted...

The fun begins

At the behest of some recruiter, Devan applied to Arizona State University last week, and as we suspected she was accepted!!! Even though she has absolutely no desire to attend this fine institution of higher learning, I think it is really cool. As time rolls on, I'm sure there will be many more offers, it will be just a matter of which one she chooses. I think she is still leaning toward NYU, but with the state of the economy the way it is, staying in state and getting a full ride is most likely the wiser choice. We are going down to Tucson next month for a tour and orientation to see how she likes the U of A . In the mean time school is going well, (except for a bad case of senior-itis) and we are all looking forward to the first orchestra concert!!!

Game 2

Week 2 of the football season ended in another decisive victory.

Monsoon football rolls on with a 25-6 win over The Phoenix.

No touch downs for Cody this week, but he did have a great game with too many tackles to count, a fumble recovery, as well as a nice run on a double reverse and an awesome catch for a big first down. Onward to week 3!!!

GO MONSOON!!!!

Ice cream social

This past Wednesday we attended Brynn's first ice cream social held at her pre-school.

Much fun was had by all the parents and siblings who attended.

How cute these kids are, they sang a couple of songs and did a little dance, and generally tore it up!!!

Cody's First game

WOW What a way to start,

Codys POP Warner football team, Monsoon, started the new season with a BANG!!!

A decisive victory over the Scottsdale Rustlers 34-0. The defense, led by Cody at middle linebacker, was dominant, allowing only one first down, forcing several turnovers including 3 interceptions, one for a touchdown. Our offense was like clock work also, cranking out 4 td's.

Even though Cody primarily plays defense, they send him in on "O" when they need some extra speed or whatever, and this time he caught a pass in the left flat and broke several tackles to find the end zone for the first time in his career!!! I was excited and I know Cody was also!!

P.S. Cody is # 2,
