Fall Fun



It's been a while since I have posted anything. Not to say that nothing has been going on; everything is going on and that seems to be the problem. We have been busy with school, dance, football, halloween, friends, and fun. So, here is the scoop. Despite having been busy, we were able to take a nice trip to Logan with our friends the Thuesons (Yes, people other than our parents will claim us!) We had a nice drive up to Logan, visited the Gossner cheese factory to load up on a car load of cheese, and then we drove up over Logan canyon and down to bear lake. Unfortunately, it was cloudy and rainy that day so it wasn't as pretty as it could have been. We were able to take some neat pictures so I thought I would share. Hope that you are having a nice fall (those of you who live in warm climates, such as florida and southern california, keep the weather comments to yourselves :) ) Thanks, Chad and Wendy, for putting up with us and our crazy kids!!!

Way to go Damon, we are proud of you!!!

Okay, so I finally am getting around to posting pictures of Damon's football. Please note that Damon is number 40. You will recognize him as the defensive lineman that is not built like a monster truck. Most of the kids that are on the line are what they call x-men; they weigh over a certain amount and are not allowed to carry the ball and other restrictions. Mind you, the x-men all weigh twice what Damon weighs but that does not stop Damon from wanting to play defensive line and go up against these boys. He had an awesome year and is looking forward to next year. It is cool that this is the one and only year that they will play under the name Saratoga Spartans, next year the new highschool will be finished and they boys will play under the new high school name. (It's neat to be the first and only spartans)

He is down in his defensive stance. Making a tackle by the ankles.


Off the line and hitting hard


Attending the coin toss as defensive capt. Notice how close Damon is lined up, he's ready





Bring it on
