Brandon Tackle Football....

My cute Brandon has been waiting to be old enough to play tackle football, and this year was his year!!

We signed him up for Football having no clue what kind of commitment we were looking at.

Um, ya, they started out with a try out that was a week long. Once teams were chosen, practices started..... 6 days a week!!! No joke, for a whole month he went Mon - Fri for 2 hours and then on Saturdays for 3 hours!!

Once games started they went to 3 practices a week, and games on Saturdays. So basically for about 4 months my Brandon was gone every Tue, Wed, Thur practicing! And you know what, he only complained a few times. He was such a trooper, and really enjoyed it!!

His team was called the RIVERTON COPPER. And they went UNDEFEATED!!!

Seriouslly 11 and 0!! I was so proud of him! They went to Playoffs, and then the Championships and won!!! The championship game took place on the Saturday that it snowed. And those boys got out there and played some awesome football in the snow!!

The boys hudddled around a heater in between their plays... It was soooooo cold!!

Love you Brandon, Our #34 is #1 to us!!!

BMX

We were so busy this summer we didn't make it to BMX races. They just started again at the indoor track so the boys went last weekend. It was so much fun!!


Here's Braden with his "Finisher" and "3rd Place" trophies!!!

Last year Brandon was always so close to placing, but couldn't quite get it. But THIS year, woot woot, He took "1st Place" and "2nd Place"!! We are so excited for him!!!

Here's a little video footage of his 2nd place win. They're all in black, so it's hard to tell which one is him at first, but you'll see him cross the line in 2nd place!!

HALLOWEEN FUN 2009

What a fun Halloween we had!! Here are a few pics to enjoy...

Linden dressed as Juno. I didn't love the fact that she looked like such a cute pregnant girl!! She had so much fun going to the dance and doing the "worm" on the ground pregnant. Got a lot of looks!!


Camryn was planning on being "Goth" this year and then thought about Brandons football outfit and decided she was going as a Goth Football Player. Hey, it's Halloween, go crazy!!

Brandon was an evil warlock. With his U pumpkin!!

Braden was a Blue Ninja, what a cutie!

And Ry Ry was a cute little bumble bee. She called it a fly. She'd cry when we took the "fly" off. She LOVED trick or treating!!

The Newton Crew 2009!!!

Fun times with Brammy and Bapa...

Now, on to the adult fun..... We had a costume party for the adults. Everyone had to dress up as a "couple". We had so much fun!!

Here are Steve and I as Juno and Bleeker. (Linden was mad I copied her costume, sorry Lind!!) But we sure had fun with all the sayings..... "that Bleeker is good in chair", "Look at our little June bug", "Next time I see that Bleeker I'm gonna hit him in the wiener"......
