Volcanoes and Soccer games

We are a little out of order here, but I needed to post these. Gavin played his last soccer game of the fall season a couple of weeks ago.. He loves soccer and is very good at it. He scores every game and usually 5 or more.

He is already asking me when spring season starts, he still wants to play. As for mom I need a break from all the sports between soccer and football, I am exhausted.

These pictures are backwards. Connor had to make a working volcano for his 5th grade science class. I hate projects like this, but we did have fun. We made a ton of salt dough to make the volcano. My nephews were at our house while their parents were in Hawaii, and they had tons of fun helping to make the volcano. Ray painted the volcano and added the dinosaurs (i thought this was Connor's project). Ray did get carried away with the dino's, so I had to hide the rest of them, otherwise there would have been 50 dino's on the volcano.



Connor took the volcano to school and they got to make them erupt.. He didn't want to use the diet coke and mentos method so we used old fashioned water, baking soda, and vinegar. Also added a bit of dish soap and red food coloring to make it look real. Connor said that his volcano was a hit.

MINI BOWL CHAMPS!!!!!

Yeah!!! Football is finally over. Connor's team the West Haven Grizzlies are the Jr. Pee Wee champions 2008. Gavin and his friend Brooklyn were the half-time entertainment!!

Connor played a great game as did all the kids. We are so proud of all that he accomplished this year. The game was played at Weber State University- Stewart Stadium. The kids all had a great time and played their hearts out.


The final score was West Haven 34 and Plain City 8. CONGRATULATIONS GRIZZLIES!!!!!

Here is a great picture of Connor with his coach Mike Meacham. Connor got to run in the plays to the quarterback. Thanks to Mike and all the coaches for a great year!!!! Hope to see you all next year!!!

GO GRIZZLIES!!!

I know it has been a long time since I posted--I have no excuses, I am a slacker!!!! Today Connor played his football game at Weber High School. It was the semi-finals for his Jr. Pee Wee team! Connor plays in West Haven and is on the West Haven Maroon Jr. Pee Wee team. This season has been a blast. Connor's team has fantastic coaches, and he has learned so much, and I am not just talking football.
This season the West Haven Maroon Jr. Pee Wee has been undefeated. The boys all work so hard and give it everything they've got. I am not a big football fan, but when it is my son out there playing I absolutely love it!!! Connor is #19 this is the first year he has ever played, and he loves it.
MINI-BOWL here we come. Connor's team won the semi-final in the playoffs and are off to the mini-bowl next week, which will be played at Weber State University! I am so proud of Connor he has worked so hard and really accomplished more than I could have imagined!!
Good luck Grizzlies!!! and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
