Sandpoint Game


We walked over to see Marcus play his game after Sophie's race.  So funny how it worked out that they were right next to each other.  The boys huddled up in the rain to discuss their game plan with the coaches.



The boys played so well...they got really wet too.


Marcus is growing so much this year...he's looking so good.


Go Rams!


Emma, Lexie and Olivia stayed dry under the tents we brought.


Uncle Wes giving Marcus a pep talk.


There's Marcus on the right...love to watch him play.


Half time...


Father and son leading the pack...look how rainy it was!


The kids and coaches did their half time talk under the tents.


Lexie brought a big umbrella to share.


Marcus is right in the middle of the tackles.


He sticks close to his dad to learn as much as he can.


Sadly another loss but wow did they play well.  They were fired up the entire game.  Sandpoint scored in the first play and our boys held them the rest of the game...there was no other scoring the entire game.  It was a well played game by both teams.  Nice Job Rams!

Sophie's Race


Ironically Sophie had a Cross-Country meet at the park right next to Marcus' football game this morning so we walked over to watch her run.  She ran at 9:15 and Marcus' game was at 10 so it worked perfect.  Sophie lined up with the other middle school teams...


Go Sophie!


At the finish line she was neck in neck with one of her teammates.


She beat her by one second...Yay Sophie!


She ended up placing 5th overall and had a personal best.  Tracy was very proud.


Good Job Sophie!  We are so proud of you too!

Under the Lights


The boys got to play a night game tonight.  Here they are chest bumping to get pumped up.


The team lined up at the start.


Action...go Marcus!


Love this kid!


Getting the offensive play instructions from Coach Marc.


Kick off.


Getting ready to go in.


Another kick off...do you see Marcus towards the end...go #25!


As the game went on so did the lights!


There's #25 again.


So cool to play under the lights.


Love it!


Marcus carrying the ball.


Go Marcus Go!


He just keeps going.


He got a first down!  Nice!


The boys did amazing!  Another win against West Valley!  


Lexie, Emma, Bri and Olivia were there to cheer their brothers on.


So cool to play under the lights...nice job Marcus!

Game 3 vs. Shadle


We played some friends at Shadle...the team captains start the game off right with a handshake.


Marcus talking to coach James.


Let's go Rams.


Marcus makes contact.


Marc was in charge of the offense this game.

This is serious business.


Ready...Set...


Half time pep talk.


Marcus and Javin are fixing their helmets.


Sadly it was another loss.


Katie came to the game with us.  Cute girls...Emma, Katie, Olivia and Lexie.


6 of these boys started out in Pop Warner together so it was fun to watch them on the same field again.  It was tough to play against a few but overall a fun game to see.

Fun with Friends


We went to Bree and Cole's house for some hang out time.  The kids took to the court for some basketball.  Here are the girls.


They challenged the boys to a game...I'm not sure who won in the end.


The evening ended with a show from the girls.   Olivia was the star.
