Championship Bound!

Brenden's team, the Rising Park Razorbacks, will be playing in the championship game tomorrow night at 7 pm on the high school football field! They are the #1 ranked team. This is the first time ever that a peewee football league game has been allowed to play on the high school field. The team, coaches and of course us parents are all so super excited. I'll post the results after game. GO RAZORBACKS! Bring home the big trophy boys!

Fair Pictures...finally

A day at the fair

We just got back from the fair. I'd post pictures but I can't feel my feet and I don't want to get up to load the pictures right now. We were there for 4 1/2 hours and Brenden is still there with friends. I have 1 picture of Brenden and his friend only because I spotted them on a ride and snuck over to take some pictures. I got one then got noticed and he ducked in every shot after that so I have an empty seat in pictures. So all the fair pictures are of Cassidy and Spencer. They rode the ponies and loved it. Cassidy can't stop talking about horses since July 4th when Holly said she has a horse and now Cassidy wants to ride it. So until we can get back down the West Union way, the pony ride had to do. We went through the barns and saw the big horses and clydesdales as well. We were looking for the sheep barn because a friend of Cassidy's from ballet has sheep there but they were all cleared out except for a few. Tomorrow is the last day so I guess a lot of people went ahead and left with their animals. They rode rides all afternoon, we had some corndogs and a funnel cake. Everyone can always tell when you've had a funnel cake because you get so much powdered sugar all over yourself. I'm so exhausted right now. I was going to come home and work but I've decided against that idea. I'll post pictures tomorrow probably.

More football news

Brenden's team won again Saturday 12-0. This makes it their ninth win, zero losses. They have one more regular season game tomorrow night at 7 and then playoffs begin in 2 weeks. Tomorrow's game makes it the 4th game in 8 days they will have played. Spencer's team won again 20-12 and they are also still undefeated.

How about something other than football for a change. Wanna hear some running news? As I've stated before my treadmill is on the outs and I've been running outside again lately with Cassidy following me in her barbie car. She didn't want to go on Friday and I really wanted to run so I thought you know what, I'm gonna take a look at the treadmill and see if I can run on it. The belt is slipping to one side and fraying on that side but as long as it doesn't abruptly stop or anything I figured I'll run on it. So I ran 2 miles and I'll just keep using it til the belt just completely unravels and I can't run on it anymore. I'm watching the belt closely though because I don't want to get hurt if it tangles up or something and when I can afford another treadmill I'll get one but Christmas is around the corner so kids come first. Well, it's a nice day outside, I was planning on working a little but there was nothing on the schedule for me to take so I think I'll run in a few while Cassidy naps and the boys are at friends' houses. I'm happy to see that the weather will be in the 60's for this week since it is our fair week and it sucks having to wear winter coats to the fair. Not so fair-ish feeling when it's freezing outside.

So exciting!

They did it again! This was by far their toughest game and the opposing team did an amazing job as well (Brenden's best friend is on the opposing team and he is a great player as well). Razorbacks won 26-19. Going into halftime the Cowboys were ahead 19-18 but after the half they were held back from scoring again and our team made another touchdown winning the game in the last 3 minutes of the game. So the team is still undefeated and their record is 8-0. It is predicted that the Razorbacks and Cowboys will meet again at the championship game and they'll just have to beat them again!!!! This game was so awesome and I lost my voice in the first quarter of the game. I can't wait til high school football. It is so exciting at this level I can't imagine how exciting high school football will be. Oh and I had 3 girls come and stand with me for a few minutes who were cheering for Brenden as well.

The picture above is right after the win and Brenden is coming off the field and the parent in the maroon shirt on the field is slapping his hand.
This is the huddle after the game and then the bottom picture is Cassidy hugging her big bubby congratulating him and Spencer is right there congratulating him too. Spencer cheered just as much and just as loud as we did. He told him he played awesome tonight after he came off the field. It's really cool to see him looking up to his big brother the way he does in sports. Makes a mom proud. If he thinks Brenden was wronged on the field, he's yelling like a dad on the sidelines.

Big Night for Brenden

Brenden has a big game tonight that is like the rivalry between OSU vs Michigan. Brenden's team is 7-0 and the only undefeated team in the league. They are going against a team that has lost only 1 game but is the other powerhouse in the league. It's gonna be a biggie. Last night at practice the coach gave such a great inspirational speech to the boys. As parents, we know what it feels like to win or want a team to win so bad. But the kids, well if they've never been in something like this before they don't really know the importance of it. They've got to want it with everything they've got. The coach said if they put their heart and soul, blood, sweet, and tears on that field then they will win as long as they give 100% of themselves on that field. We all believe in these kids. They are truly great. It's gonna be tough tonight, I'm sure. But I believe in these guys and Brenden and I know they can do it. Good Luck Razorbacks!

Loss of 2 family members

The Scarberry side of our family has taken a big hit over the last week and a half. Richard's cousin Kevin died a week ago and Kevin's mom Zorita (Richard's aunt) died today. I'd like to take this opportunity to extend my deepest sympathies to the Scarberry's in your time of such sadness and loss. Our prayers are with you.
