3rd Grade Football Championship

Between 200-300 people showed up for the game. Logan's team finished the season winning 5 straight games after losing the first 2 to make it into the championship. The other team was undefeated. We had a 13-0 lead in the 4th quarter but the other team scored on the last play of the game to win. Lots of controversy with the clock. The boys were crying and so upset as they felt cheated. Good lesson for them on sportsmanship. It was really hot and they lost one of their best players with heat exhaustion at the half.

Carter's Soccer Team

I just noticed almost all of them are blond. Must be the water in Lakeville.

Football - Best Friends

Logan's football team (Oakland Raiders) played his best friend Avery's team yesterday (Colts). His team is on a roll and won their 3rd game in a row - after starting the season 0-2. The highlight was when Avery was the running back and Logan tackled him.

Last Saturday Logan got to play quarterback and had a 70+ yard run down the sidelines before being tacked at the 5-yard line. Two plays later he ran around the outside and scored - he was in Heaven! It was great to see his team all slapping him on the helmet and cheering for him - some days he gets upset because he says he is always picked towards the end during recess for football. It was good "positive reinforcement" for him to see that he can play just as good as the other kids and he shouldn't worry about when he is picked....just play your hardest regardless.

Pictures from the 1st day of school -

Our bus stop. (13) kids on the first day of school and that is only one of three stops in our neighborhood. The good news is that the bus route is about 10 minutes shorter on both the way to school and the way home this year due to the growth in our Association. Hopefully Carter won't fall asleep on the way home!

The Stanley Cup

The Stanley Cup was in Lakeville as part of the LA Kings tour to bring the cup to the hometown of all their players, coaches, etc. I guess one of the LA Kings scouts grew up in Lakeville.
