Tori has decided to let me take her Senior pictures, so we went to the train depot and Kathryn Albertsons park today to take pictures. We weren't the only ones. There were tons of people out getting their pictures taken. Tori's new boyfriend Pat went with us. I told him his job was to help her poise. I was able to get a couple of pictures of them together. Out of all of her boyfriends, this one seems to be the nicest. He seems to be more considerate of her than any of the others.

Soccer is all over.... Yippee..... We finished in Third place, beat Centennial 4-1. To sum up the season, we were District Champs, we were first in Academics (highest team GPA in the state), took 1st in fan sportsmanship, and Miah Mollay was District player of the year. So other than not winning State we took all the other honors. Way to go Braves. Way to go Tori.

The fourth time was not a charm for us. Unfortunately it was for them. After a hard fought 90 min (2-40 minute halves, 2-10 minute over times) we lost in a shoot out 5-3. It was very sad. Tori play a great second half. Not that she did play go good 1st half, she just didn't get to play in the first half. Since we have a idiot for coach, Tori swears that he forget how good she is. Once she gets in she usually gets to stay in. This loss if all on the Coach, he did not have his best shooter in the shoot out. So we now play Centennial tomorrow at 11:45 at Meridian for 3rd and 4th place. Tori is pretty upset.........

Boise beats Twin Falls 4-0 today. They did a good job getting it done today.... We advance to tomorrow and we will have a tough game. We get to beat Capital for the 4th time. The first time we beat them 3-2, second time 2-1, third time was in a shoot out 4-3. Hopefully we will show up to play tomorrow and get it done. Game time is 11:45 at Meridian, come if you can Tori would love to have you there to cheer her on.

The State tournamemt schedule is out. We play Twin Falls on Thursday 10/23 at 11:45 am at Meridian High school. I know it's in the middle of the day but I'm sure Tori would appreciate any support that she can get. If they win they play on Friday at 11:45 am at Meridian. I'll post the Friday schedule Thursday afternoon after the game. Go Braves.....

WE WON DISTRICT.............. We're off to State. Wow, it has been quite the week.... Last Saturday (in the freezing cold) we battled Meridian High winning 2-1 in the 2nd Overtime period. Then we turned around and had to play Capital on Monday night. WOW what a game, we ended up winning 4-3 in a shoot out. Guess what, Tori made the 4th goal in the shoot out. I think this is the first time she has been a kicker in a shoot out. I was soooooo nervous I could hardly watch. Tonight we took the championship away from Mountain View with a 2-1 win. Tori play 3/4 of the game as outside defensive back and did a great job of shutting out their offense. They scored their only goal when she wasn't in the game. She played great. I'm so proud of her. GO Braves...... State is in Meridian, so it's close to home. Starts next Thursday. I believe Tori's game will be at 11:45 at Meridian High School.

I know that some of you are probably wondering why the only person I talk about is Tori. You're probably saying to yourself, "Doesn't she have a son???". So I thought I would take a minute just to let you know a little bit about my amazing son - Alex. Alex is camera shy, so I have to work very hard or be very sneaky to get any pictures of him. I forced him to take this picture with his birthday cake in July. ALEX... ....is a Sophomore at Timberline this year and doing quite well. He seems to be enjoying his classes this year, even PE. ....is very much into online computer games and video games ....is not into competitive sports of any kind. He has tried soccer, basketball, little league but just doesn't have that competitive edge. Likes to play for fun only. ....likes to play ultimate Frisbee at lunch with his friends ....has an amazing personality, but you really have to get to know him to see it. ....is allergic to cats and dogs, which we have both, but he likes

SENIOR NIGHT We had two very important (and tough) games this week. We needed to win them both to end up high in the standings. Monday's game, Senior night, was against Capital, Tori played outside back defender the whole first half. Then he moved her to outside midfielder for the second half. Boise won to win 3-1. Wednesday was again Centennial at Centennial. We started pretty flat and they scored first. Tori went in about half way through the first half as a outside midfielder. She SCORED with about 2 minutes left in the first half. It was a beauty...... We were able to come out in the second half and score again. Tori played really well in both games. Then we just held on tight and pulled out the win. We are going into the District Tourney as #2 seed. We play Saturday 10/11 at Centennial High School at 11:00. Come cheer her on..............

Well, we played Borah on Monday and our centerback fouled in the box as the last defender which is an automatic red card in the first 10 minutes. They got a PK and we had to play the rest of the game down one player. Our forwards could not find the back of the net, therefore we now have our first lost of 0-1. Wednesday we played Caldwell and won that game 5-0. No surprise there. Currently we are tied for 3rd with Timberline, Mtn View is 1st and Capital is 2nd. We play Capital on Monday and Centennial on Wednesday. Two tough games that we need to win. Here are some Borah highlights. Tori is in white #16, Justin is green #18 Now for some highlights from the Caldwell game.
