Tackle Football

Travis's tackle football season ended this last Saturday. The Rec department went started a different program this year and had 8 man teams. Because we changed, and Cody was the only other town that switched to this program also, the only teams we played were Cody teams. Lovell had 3 teams and Cody had 5, so we were able to play 5 games. Travis's team went 3-2 on the season and he loved every minute of it! He was been WAITING for his turn to get to play tackle. The kid loves to hit and had several awesome tackles! He ran the ball quite a bit too and loved that as well! It was sure fun to watch him and his teammates compete and he really learned a lot this season. Good job #43!

One night during a varsity football team half time, the Lovell teams split into 2 teams and played each other. They were pretty excited to play under the lights. Travis had an awesome tackle during that game!

Travis's tackle.

Each week we alternated between playing in Lovell and playing in Cody. The last few weeks were pretty chilly and frosty in the mornings!

Christian was asked to help with the program this year. Travis loved having his dad help out.

Travis is a pretty tough kid...it took 5 guys to take him down in this play.

Taking down #10.

8th grade football

Carson's 8th grade football season has come to an end. They had a great season and went 3 and 3. He had a great year. He learned a new position this year and played middle linebacker and right guard. It was sure fun to watch the season and it will be fun to see where these guys go in the future!

He was captain for most of the games this season.

 

Almost deflected the pass.

Landon's baptism

Since Landon's baptism was on a Wednesday this year, we decided to hold his baptism the next day.

 It was a special day for him. He was baptized and confirmed by Christian and we had lots of family and friends there to share in his special day. My favorite part was being able to watch Landon be baptized by Christian and have both of his brothers be the witnesses. The new changes about who could be witnesses at baptisms (any baptized member of the church can do it...youth, women or men) came out the day before and Landon was excited to get to have his brothers. It made my mom heart so happy and the spirit was so strong! 

After the baptism, we had some dessert and visited with our family members and friends that were there.

My three boys! What a neat experience to be able to have his brothers take part in his baptism.

We are so proud of Landon and his decision to be baptized. He is a great young man who strives to do what is right! I am so thankful for my membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and grateful for a righteous priesthood holder in our home that could perform these sacred ordinances. These boys are lucky to have Christian as their example.

Landon turns 8!

Landon turns 8 today! It's hard to believe that my baby is 8! He is kind, good with little kids, always up for an adventure, a great helper and an animal lover! At 8, Landon:

*loves all animals...especially his cats

*loves candy and gum

*has to vacuum the stairs, hard floor down stairs, clean his bedroom and a bathroom for weekly chores

*wants to do whatever his brothers are doing

*loves being outside

*is so good with his younger cousins

*loves football, wrestling and baseball

*is a good snuggler

*is a great helper. He is always quick to do what he is asked.

We started his birthday with opening new clothes, and a paracord bracelet that Travis made for him, and instead of the traditional pancakes in the shape of how old they are, he had eggs in the shape of an 8 (he's not a huge fan of pancakes). He took gushers and juice boxes to share with his class. 

Grandma and Grandpa Asay stopped by on their way to Greybull and he opened a new sweatshirt and legos from them.

After Carson was home from football practice and Christian was home from work, he opened the rest of his gifts before we headed to Powell for dinner at Jen's China Town (his pick).

He got the bb gun he had been wanting!!

And a hammock!

Uncle Jason and aunt Cassie got him some ammo for his gun and prairie dog targets.

He had to go out and shoot his gun before we left for Powell.

Grandpa and grandma Foulger, and Megan, Jabin and Sloane met us for his birthday dinner. After we were done eating, he opened up gifts from them.

He got a fishing bag, with accessories and some money from grandpa and grandma Foulger

Megan and Jabin got him a multitool that he was super excited to use to open all the packaging on his gifts!

We are so thankful that Landon is part of our family. He truly is a blessing!
