Good Job Tyler....


We attended the Tyler's Soccer Banquet on Tuesday night. He received his Varsity Letter Award and the numbers of his graduating year! WOW.....2011!! Sounds far off till you think about Trent's year...2020!! 11 doesn't seem quite so bad! He also received a Recognition for "Most Dedicated"....great job Tyler!! We enjoyed an assortment of desserts, all you need this time of year~more sweets and calories!

After the awards were all handed out we had an indoor soccer game...parents vs. kids! We weren't to sure about the fitness of some of the adults?!!? I personally didn't play...I thought I might be more of a detriment to the parents side! Although Steve came ready to play! You play 5 against 5, 2-15 minute quarters. OK mind you, our goalie had never played soccer!! The coach, Mr. Oxford played with the parents, at least we had that going for us! First goal...our own parent, Jeff Johnson...amazing. The kids came back with a score-1 to1! End of first quarter! All parents have a slight collapse (they were actually holding up pretty good!)
Start of second quarter. A lot of running back and forth and not a lot of scoring! Diane Johnson was the only mom to play...way to go Diane! (did I tell you, the Johnson's were running for the door after the awards, when we spotted them!) We told her they would be easy on her! Now comes the exciting part....Steve scores goal #2...way to go man! Timer runs out and the parents win 2-1! They still can beat the kids! Very exciting and fun! Thanx Mr. Oxford for all your hard work and encouragement!

Tyler, Your family and grandpa and I are so proud of the young man you are becoming. Being "dedicated" to doing your best is one of the finest attributes you can have as you wend your way through the minefields of life. Make good choices! Love you, Gma B.
