Powder Puff Football Jr vs Sr

 I guess there was a tradition at good ol' Davis High of girls playing in a Powder Puff football game. Juniors vs Seniors.  Then, it got too rough and they banned it for a few years.  One of the senior officers (a girl) worked with the administration and got it back this past year!  So, Amanda was super excited to play!  The football players coached the girls themselves. There were a few of the adult coaches to ref and make sure the game stayed under control.  The juniors were leading with about 2 seconds left, and some shenanigans happened and the seniors ended up winning the game (I'm sure the seniors always win).

It was fun to watch Amanda play the line. She played the entire game! She got through the seniors line so much that she was double and triple teamed most plays.  So fun to watch! Her good friend, Keslee, who is a very fast runner and soccer player, scored for the juniors at least once...but I want to think it was twice.  Can't remember 10 months later! :)

The fun thing is that it was open to all Junior and Senior girls!  You had cheerleaders, drill team, soccer, HOSA, all girls that were loving football that were interested in other things or doing other things during high school and they all came together as a team.  Super fun!


 Taking the field. Amanda is number 6!








































 Lots of pictures, I know. Just documenting the plays. We have watched enough football that looking at each of these pictures that seem like they are the same thing...are really very interesting to at least me!


























































 Below is Keslee number 62!










































 I love this pic below because due to some awesome blocking, Kes makes it past a tackle (that girl was scary!) and the boys on the sideline can't believe it and are loving it!
























 Random picture of Sydney in the middle of this football stuff, but I love it!

 After the game, Amanda and Kes!

 Amanda and Brinlee Memmott!
 Junior strong!




 Amanda and her coaches!

 Amanda and Brinlee again. They got some cute game day shirts!













 Some of the 'fans'


 It was a fun game! Hopefully she'll get to do it as a senior, too!

More football!

Sydney and Mom selfie!
 Brandon played a team from Glendale. It's a new football team and once they get it together, they will be tough. Lots of Polynesian players! Lucky for us...they weren't good yet! We beat them easily.  My mom came and watched with us, but had to leave a bit early. The game started an hour late.  No one had striped the field. Like I say, they are a new league/team, but I'm sure we'll see them again.
 So fun to have Sydney with me the whole game! Remember that Mike follows the action. Oh, Jim & Renae came too....they left early too.  It was on General Conf Saturday and everyone had places to be!


 I wouldn't miss see this handsome guy play though! Proud of how hard you work, Brandon!

Selfie stick September

More fun with the selfie stick! A little perspective from above!
 Mike & I went to the Def Leppard concert at Usana with our good friend, Scott & Jeni Lalli!  Always a really fun time with them! Just wish we got together more often!
 We were really , really close this time!
 Selfie stick!

 Amanda played provisional soccer this fall. She played with her old team! Provisional is when the girls who play high school are not on the team in the fall (because they are playing at the high school) and the girls who are not on the high school team, still play.  It doesn't count on the season schedule, but girls like Amanda can sign up to play just in the fall.  She didn't make all her games or practices, but had a blast with her friends!  Her team won the championship!
 More Paige & Sydney
 Amanda went to the Def Leppard concert too! She went with these boys!

 She had a blast!
 Amanda asked her good friend, Joey, to the Halloween dance. This is how he answered.....That's not him behind the mask....that's Hannah (I think)

 Throwback picture of Amanda and the wardie girls...Susie, Maddy & Liz.  All seniors this coming year....crazy crazy...


Did I blog about this already?

This is the problem about blogging every 2-3 months...you forget what you've already blogged about and then it's too hard to go through the blog to find it, so you blog twice so you don't accidentally miss something! oh my!
 That showed up randomly on my camera. One of my girls took it. So pretty!

 Below: Brandon's football practice...he's in orange
 That's my lineman!

 Dramatic Utah clouds
 Birthday dinner at Texas Roadhouse, I thinking.....because the next picture is birthday cake!

 And Brandon has a phone! Mike and he came home with one.....surprise! But, then it made it possible to cancel our home phone and now I can text Brandon whenever I need him home from a friend's house. It is pretty sweet.....

 Mike and I went to a charity event for diabetes at the U.  We got to see an exhibition match between two pros. I can't remember who they are now..  But then they brought out U football Coach Whit and he played with them. He's a great tennis player!




 And super competitive....
And Max, in Amanda's room ready for bed!

More September catching up!

More football
 Amanda went to the 21 Pilots concert at Saltair with her friends. They left super early and waiting in line for like 10 hours since it was general admission...







 But they said it was the best concert ever! They had a blast! Even though they wasted a whole day sitting in line....ha ha!

 Here are some Paige and Sydney selfies.....
