Winning

Ponax football is 5-0!  Conlan has been playing well, the coaches have been very pleased with his blocking.  They love his aggressiveness. One coach said "Conlan, I would want you on my side in any bar fight"  Who of the other players commented " Who would of thought the tall and skinny boy would be your worst nightmare."  Conlan is loving all the praise, but continues to work hard to prove he is worthy of starting.

Volleyball won all three games this week.  Colleen rocked in the Courtland game, which was a huge win. She had 17 kills.  They are still undefeated with teams in their conference.  The season is half way done....

Friday Night

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Defense lifts Panthers | FLS Varsity: HS Sports

Kindergarten Shots

The dreaded 4 yr old check up is now a distant memory. 4 shots and a finger prick is enough to make a grown man cry.  Sierra did extremely well until the 3rd shot then the fight in her came out.
  She is 44lbs and 42 inches tall, which only puts her in the 95%.

Run Conlan Run

Conlan and his football team ran a road race on Saturday morning. Conlan finished in 24:33 not bad a a big old football player.

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

Conlan's time to shine happened last night!  The starting right tackle got hurt and Conlan got to play most of the second half. He was a lead tackle on one touchdown and instrumental on another touchdown.  He will get a starting position the next Friday. I am so proud of him,  but now we need to find room for his swollen head!

Preschool

First day of school

My babies are going up. This will be the last time the three of them will be together for the first day of school .  I am trying my best not to think about "this will be the last time", but sometimes it sneaks up on me.

The Challenge

The hardest thing about middle school.

Football

Conlan's team is starting out great JV is 2-0 and varsity won their first game. Conlan is BEAST and DESTROYS on JV( his words).
