Rockets and the dome!

What a day this was! I will NEVER forget the excitement and joy I got to witness in these kids' eyes, that was my highlight of the day! Brady was in awww the entire time, pretty sure his mouth was sore from smiling as much as he did!

So anyways for those of you who dont know the story I will fill you in a bit. One of the moms from our team submitted an application to the Vikings of Tomorrow, low and behold they choose us this year! Thanks Chris, u rock! So the 5th and 6th grade football teams are divided into 2 teams for which they scrimmaged each other on the same turf the Vikings play! It was awesome to watch them and see them on the big screen. Pretty sure they are still smiling today about it! The Vikings then gave us tickets to watch the game and what a game it was! Best game I have ever been too, perfect that it got to be Brady's first game!

Ok so football is OFFICIALLY over for us even though I have said that for the past few weeks when I thought it was really over, this time is for real until next August!

Halloween

Halloween has come and gone, here are my trio during Halloween!
O thought he was pretty cool as a biker! It was fun but glad it is over!

Apple Orchard

Fall isn't fall without a trip to the apple orchard! As always we had a blast and it was the perfect day to go!

Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there!!!

And that is what you did Bailey William!

As your biggest fan I am so proud of you Bailey through every rollercoaster ride you have endured, u set a goal and you achieved that goal! I love your drive and determination and you didn't let anything get in your way! With that being said let me brag on you a bit!

Bailey started flag football in 1st grade, anxiously awaiting to play tackle football which he started in 3rd grade. He started off the first 2 years playing quarterback. This year he decided that he wanted to run the ball more and try out for running back on offense. Bailey William the running back! He may not be the fasted, but he sure can barrel through those kids and gain yardage! I guess they call it stiff arming those kids to knock them down before they get to him, alittle football lingo I guess!

So the pictures are from the home game we had against Hayfield, we ended up tying the game, but the kids played hard. This last Saturday we went to Waseca for a tournament. The first game we lost 12-18, but won our second game 6-0.

The second game is where Bailey's goal comes into play, his goal was since he started RB position was to score a touchdown and that HE did! Along with the other kids on the team, Bailey was on fire through the entire game! He had over 100 yards of rushing, of course his touchdown, several tackles and sacks! Now tell me that I shouldn't be proud of him, I was and still am beyond proud of that kid and honestly I can't help but smile every time I think of that game! Not only because he played excellent but because he made a goal and he worked so hard at achieving that goal without giving up or being hard on himself! For that Bailey William I am so proud of you!

With all that being said, Saturday was the 5th grades last game, it was a fun season and I loved every minute of the practices and games and the many miles that we put on! Bailey was asked yesterday to play with the 6th graders during their championship games. So another week of grass stains, bruises and on the go... HECK YES!!

#72 just remember these 2 things....
Arriving at one goal, is the starting point to another!

Know your limits, but never stop trying to exceed them!
