Long time, no blog! Work has been crazy, and life has been crazy! We are in the midst of football season and high school life. LOL! Having two in high school is insane! All the social stuff and homework, etc. Both kids are having loads of fun though! Before each home game (and some away games), we get together with a group of families and ‘tailgate’. This photo was taken after our big win over our rivals Juan Diego. The boys had changed out of their uniforms and joined us for a few minutes before heading off to their own get together. Good Times!
The Homecoming Photos were delivered to the school yesterday. Still bummed that Madi wasn’t able to get pictures at the dance (that’s part of the fun). Those darn seniors that refuse to wait in line….they just butt ahead of everyone….which makes the line even longer! One of those senior line butters was Tyson, of course! So, he got photos. Below is the group photos, and then his individual ones. You can see the ‘theme’ of the dance was Vegas Lights. Cute kids!

It’s Sunday morning, and we are still trying to recover from the Homecoming festivities! We won the Homecoming Football game on Friday night. Tyson scored two TD’s and had a great game. The team we played wasn’t all the great, so we beat them 52-20. Saturday was spent running around getting Madi and Tyson ready for the dance. What a hectic day. Too many errands! Madi met up with a group of girls and got ready for the dance together. Their dates arrived there, to pick them up. I was able to get a few photos, but my camera promptly died. Which meant, I didn’t get any photos of Tyson and his date! Bummer! I will have to rely on a few other mom’s to get me copies. Both kids had a great time though. After getting the kids off to dinner and the dance, Carl and I headed over to a BBQ at the home of one of T’s good friends. We hung out with a few other parents and had an awesome time. So awesome, we didn’t get home until about 3:00 AM! YIKES! Here are a few photos from the game, and of Madi and her friends and date.
Phew! Crazy week! Well…..it’s that time of year again. Homecoming! Which means the big Homecoming Football Game, and the Homecoming Dance. Tyson’s last……Madi’s first!
Both kids are going to the dance this year. Tyson asked a senior cheerleader, by giving her a bouquet of flowers at the start of the last football game.
She answered him on Monday Night during the Football Team Dinner:
Madi was asked by a freshmen football player (cute!)! So we had to shop for a dress:
We still need to take get shoes and jewelry….and Tyson has no idea what he is going to where yet. Still a lot to do . The dance is on Saturday. Exciting!
Also, the Judge Bulldogs (ranked #2), played the #1 ranked Logan Grizzlies last Friday night. We were NOT picked to win. BUT…guess what?!?!?! WE DID! We won 35-7! It was a pretty easy win, and I think we shocked everyone. Tyson had an AWESOME game, scoring 3 touchdowns and was named Player of the Game by Comcast (who filmed the game). As soon as the game was over, Tyson was whisked away by the Comcast reporter and they did an on-camera interview. After that, the Salt Lake Tribune interview him, followed by the Desert News, and then the Logan Daily Herald (although that article was only in the print edition). So….cool night for Tyson! The pics are blurry, but you can tell he is being interviewed.
We had a great time tailgating and watching our first home football game of the season on Friday night! Good food, good friends, good times…..and good football. The bulldogs beat the wildcats 41-18. It was a beautiful night for football!
Some photos:
This is me with the mom’s of Tyson’s two best friends…Jordan Benson and Joe Pond. We’ve been friends for years and years! These pics were taken while we were tailgating before the game.
So….it’s Labor Day Weekend, and we haven’t done much at all yet! Madi went to a freshmen pool party yesterday (she had a great time), and Tyson went to a college football game with some friends …..I can’t even say the name of the team…it is a "swear word" at our house! LOL! They are huge rivals of the Utah Utes . He had a good time though, except for the insane heat! Carl is working today, so we don’t have big plans…..Tyson has more socials plans…a BBQ with friends…..Maybe we’ll do something fun tomorrow! Have a great weekend!
Our first home game is tonight! We built a new football stadium last year, and didn’t get to play on our home field until midway through the season. And even then, it wasn’t really complete. The seatiing in the stands wasn’t complete, there was dirt and fencing around everything, the press box wasn’t done….and on and on. BUT, now it is complete! And tonight will be the first real home game! We are getting together with a bunch of families to tailgate before the game. Should be lots of fun!
Both kids have survived their 2nd week of school. Madi is loving every minute of it! Well, except for typical friend drama that usually accompanies high school girls! She hasn’t been asked to the Homecoming Dance yet, but it is still early. I know she has her fingers crossed though! TGIF!
Here we are again….yet another Monday! The second Monday that the kids have been back in school. Both seemed to have survived the week. Of course, for Tyson it is not new….just the same as last year! Except he is a senior now. Madi on the other hand, has been full of new and exciting information all week! Her social life has definitely picked up! All the cute boys and new friends…..she is lovin’ it! And so far, she seems to be doing fine with all of her classes and teachers. Keep those fingers crossed!
No football last week. It was very weird! Both the freshmen and JV teams played, but Varsity had a bye week. I missed it! ÜÜ We play Woods Cross this week, which is a team that is in the area that we live in, so we know quite a few of the players. Should be fun!
I picked up a new book on a whim at Barnes & Noble last week. We stopped by to pick up a book for Madi and I saw a book that has had everyone I know talking about it. So, I grabbed it. And, I literally couldn’t put it down! I loved this book, and I’m not even sure why! It is not a subject that I would normally read (vampires)….but I was hooked from page one! Have you read it yet?
If you have read it, let me know what you think! I just picked up the next book:
A photo from the football game on Friday night….the captains meeting with the oppposing team’s captains and the game officials. Love seeing Tyson walking out to the middle of the field with his 3 best buddies! Tyson is #3
