One Last Football Weekend...

On November 18th we went to Mesquite, Nevada for one last weekend of football. Bradon's team played in a tournament there. We stayed at the Virgin River Hotel and Casino. The price was awesome but we definitely got what we paid for. No frills and No extras... I'm just glad we got NO BEDBUGS!

The kids had a blast playing together one last weekend. The whole team didn't choose to go and so they didn't have to deal with a lot players. Everyone got to play a lot! Bradon hardly ever came of the field. He played starting offense and defense which is just the way he likes it!

Because they were the first team to register for this tournament they all got these cool football bags for free. They are HUGE! So HUGE that small children can get lost in them!

But Talan loved it!
He thought this was a pretty cool form of transportation!

Such a cute kid!

They really played great!
If you ask me, they played a lot better than in their regular season. It was just all about having fun!

This is Coach Spencer Reid. He was their Defensive coach. He played for BYU and then went on to the NFL and played with the Colts and then the Panthers. Aside from really knowing the game of football, he's a really great guy and super good with the kids! At this tournament he came up to David and I to pay Bradon a compliment. He said that Bradon was really fun to coach. He said that he is very teachable and hard working. He said that no matter what he would say to Bradon, Bradon was always willing to give it a try with no questions asked and then he would go on the field and truly give it his all!
What a great compliment! In sports I think that's seriously one of the greatest compliments you could ever receive! Bradon isn't puffed up. He's down to earth and all about getting it done. We couldn't be more proud of him!

And just a side note... We went bowling with the Reids and I almost beat Spencer. He had to trash talk me on the 10th frame to get in my head and take me down!
And just another side note... Trash talking me ALWAYS works! I'm a head case!

At half time of one of the games this kid did the haka to pump everyone up. And let me tell you, it worked! This kid had NO FEAR! I don't know if you have ever seen the haka but this kid knew how to throw the haka down!

Here's Bradon doing his thing for the last time of the season!
We love you Bradon, great job!
