The BIG GAME!

Not so big results.  Our team lost 39-0

I felt bad for the boys who played their last game but they all had a great season and accomplished a lot for a second year school!

A little pre-game good luck decorating.

The girls helped me decorate Z's room for his big game tomorrow.

He came home early and we were not done yet, so we sent him upstairs for a bit.  BUSTED!

three hundred eleven

His last home game...EVER!

So weird.

It was a very sloppy win, but we are 12-0 and going to the semi-finals at Rice-Eccles Stadium next week.

 His faithful fans!  There is nothing like Friday Night Lights!

Another one of his biggest fans!

Senior Night, last regular season game, another fun win & 60 yard touchdown for Z.

10-0 = Region Champions!

Best game tonight, well best last three minutes of the game.  Our team came back from a 14 point trail in the last three minutes of the game.  This image is Z scoring the winning TD the last minute of the game.  The game was aired on TV as the Prep game of the week and he made all the local newspapers.  So happy for him and his team!

What I do every Friday afternoon.  Help feed the football team before their games.  I love it!

He was so excited to play on the high school field tonight in this scrimmage.

I told you he was one of the guards (D-line), he fits right in. He had to wear pink just like his brother (in honor of Grandma F.)

 I love how this image captures Uncle Curt and Big Bro Z pumping him up and reminding him to keep his chin up!  It was a tough game and loss.

 I felt so bad that he had a violent, painful stomach-ache and had been throwing-up before, during, and after this game.  But you would have never known…he had several great receptions and one TD.  Sorry buddy and great job!

 Grandma was thrilled to be in the stands for his great game.

It was a super wet, wet weekend.  This rainbow's colors were so bright and vivid, I had to take a picture.  Along with a dozen others on instagram. 

We started our day at 6:30 a.m. and watched our two older sons in a lacrosse tournament and this buddy in his football game.  By 2:30 I was ready for a warm bath! The score at the end of his game was not in our favor, but he played as good as any kid could in pouring rain and muddy conditions.  The older boys were undefeated in their lacrosse tournament.  Too wet for my camera to be out today.  

After such a rainy weekend, rain and umbrellas will have a new meaning to me after President Uchtdorf's comparison at The General Women's Conference.  Such an uplifting night.

I spy with my little eye…a mom not watching the game but talking to a friend behind her.  

Jim was watching the game online on his way to the game and send a picture like this to me on my phone.  I wasn't watching in that one either.  He's so funny.

Z's other position is the ball holder for extra points.  I don't think he has messed up yet.

 It rained, then it stopped, it rained and then it stopped…repeated the entire game.

I was glad it was a warm night, just super wet.

These photos and the one of Z's TD last week were taken by one of our team photographers- Carl Schaeffer.  So all credit goes to him, he does a great job and I'm so grateful for some close ups of my boy!

P.S. Still undefeated and another great win 48-14

Oh…and this happened tonight.

We received a call from our second son at the end of the game.  Let's just say I'm so grateful that he and his friend were both wearing their seat belts and were protected and unharmed.  Lesson to be learned about distractive driving! Pay attention and you won't hit a tree and flip on your side! M was not driving but this happened in our neighborhood and it was quite the attention getter.

He loves when his brothers come and cheer him on!

 Especially when he runs in two 35 yard touchdowns!

Great game bud!

Beautiful night for a football game!

So happy for our Z as he was able to score tonight.  He said it was a fun game to play.

 A little after game love!

A shutout, touchdown, and lots of great tackles from this guy

Big brother giving a little football advice! He scored, won, and had a great game today.

After the game and family lunch at the Old Spaghetti Factory, I received a call from one of my dearest friends from AZ asking me to meet her at a store.  We met, sat and talked in this spot for long time!  It was so fun to catch up.

This is his white jersey after a wet, muddy practice.

First football scrimmage for our little guy.  They killed them!

Then a small pizza for lunch, NOT!  We love The Pie!

 Later that day these boys took the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge from their cousin.

 Along with this cute girl. Thanks to Z, mom and dad also took the challenge, but I'm not posting pictures.
