Regular season champs again! #55 was very happy because he had an interception when the other team faked a punt and then passed instead. Next up is the first round of playoff on Nov 1st against the same team we beat today, though on our home field since we are the #1 seeds (we had... Continue Reading →
Falcons 24, Pirates 0
(A break in the Seattle action to bring you the results of The Game that I was so sad to miss!) Thanks to the texting fingers of one of my sports dad friends, I had nearly down by down updates on SportsBoys football game. It was perfect because we were sitting on the ferry coming...

Here we go again
The Falcons triumphed again 29-7. Officially 4-0 in their league. Another impressive game. #55 was *this* close to a touchdown twice today. Another wide open pass that was thrown a little behind him so that he could not make the clean catch - when there was NO ONE but one defender who he had already... Continue Reading →
From dawn to dusk
We arrived in Temecula at 7:15am yesterday and while the team was warming up I decided to actually use the camera that was in my bag all weekend. Check out how beautiful the fields are: I love these rocky hills: I thought I would take a stab at the sun rising from the foothills to... Continue Reading →
New levels of exhaustion
As I said last weekend, just because the football team has a bye does not mean we sit on our butts this weekend. Oh no. Instead, we drive out to our second home (Temecula, which is 50 miles north east of here) and play in a baseball tournament. First game the team is playing since... Continue Reading →
Big Brother (Mama) is watching you!
Long term readers may recall that SportsBoy has a tendencey to, oh, not do his schoolwork. And then to lie about it. Happens at least once a year. Of course, in elementary school they coddled him a bit. Let him get away with turning in late work and still getting full credit. Until last year... Continue Reading →
3-0
Off to a strong start again. Here's the only (bad) photo I took all day! He was getting his shoes taped at warm ups. He likes to have the velcro part taped down so he wont have to fiddle with it during the game. Or, he just likes having something taped up 🙂 This board... Continue Reading →
They knew him when
Last night was the Jr High open house. I was able to get there early and while I was wandering around, I spied a familiar face. The lady who owns the pre-school that SportsBoy attended from the time he was 2 until he started kindergarten. She was there because her grandson is in the 8th... Continue Reading →
Nothing much
Hansen's soda should be paying my family. SportsBoy brings one in his lunch each week when he is with me and he conviced one of his friends to try it who's mom wont let them have regular soda. When he mentioned that Hansen's does not use High Fructose Corn syrup, she was sold and now... Continue Reading →
Week 1 – Kickers are worth GOLD!
8-6 victory thanks to a defense that played with some intense heart at the end. Thanks to some key long pass plays and then some pure speed. Thanks mostly though to the steady nerves and strong leg of our team's kicker. Oh, and probably some thanks to our special teams defense which jumped off sides... Continue Reading →
