A warm heart and a DRY HEAD to match!
Because this morning I put out a call for canopies to cover the die hard Cowboy Fans during Fan Fest. Within 1 hours I had over 10!
Rivalry doesn't mix with RAIN.
don't you know we're playing Tooele
Grandpa Hutch used to be an old "Buff".
He has since changed his colors!
Funny what a pretty girl wearing RED can do to a guy.

Say Cheese ... LOUISE!
Keep in mind that all I wanted was
ONE SHOT!
Needless to say, I never got it.
Watch the madness unfold...
GEEZ-LOUISE!

A picture says a million words.
Pray always, that you may come off conqueror;
Of all the pictures I've ever taken, these are my FAVORITE.
The ironic thing is, neither Tyson nor Dillon conquered their opponent the day these pictures were snapped.
However, THEY and so many others
who run on football fields...
play in marching bands...
cheer on sidelines...
yell in bleachers...
stand side by side on brisk Friday Nights...
Pray always, that you may come off conqueror;
yea, that you may conquer Satan,
and that you may escape the hands of the servants of Satan
that do uphold his work.

Jump UP... it's Monday morning!
"Oh crap, she's up!"
Small Ball
As exciting as GHS Football has been, Grantsville "Small Ball" (a.k.a Little League) has been just as exciting. Again, due to Stansbury getting it's own Little League program we lost WELL OVER half of the kids in our program. We have much smaller teams and in turn, new opportunities for everyone! Dillon has taken advantage of the opportunity to "Z Down".
Note that he had to be a "small one" to be able to do this. He had to weigh 10 pounds under the weight limit for the kids a year younger than him. Oh, I wish he wasn't such a picky eater! Look at the size of his legs compared to the other boys. I feel such guilt! Oh sorry... got off on a tangent. Back to the "Z Down".
He and his best friend, Dallin are playing on the A team of the kids a year younger. Dillon is playing quarterback. Therefore, he's had ample opportunity to throw a few passes to Dall. So far it's been a great season for them, with a bright future in sight!
We're proud of Dillon for choosing to do what HE wanted to do. He has such a good sense of where he wants to be in life. Have I mentioned I want to grown up to be like him someday?
Is "small ball" having a Fan Fest? Ummm yes. They'll be tailgating this Friday. Wouldn't you? Look at all the girls!
Oh, the fun never ends!
Small Town Football
Imagine building a fire.
You gather the things needed.
Put them under intense heat.
At first it smolders.
Slowly a small flame is seen.
Then it bursts into bright light
becoming all it was meant to be.
That is what is happening
in this place, where I live.
GHS is bursting forth!
Grantsville High School has had the wonderful opportunity of returning to a "Small Town School". Life is how it was "back in the day" and I must say my heart is swelling with pride as joyful tears often run down my cheeks.
Cowboy Football has been the center of this transformation. The coaching staff of 14 is united and ready to move forward. The 14 returning seniors are tight knit and working to make this new year a new beginning for GHS. Their sense of unity has united us all.
I've had the opportunity to dig in and get my hands dirty. It's been an honor to plan BBQ's, dinners, treats, rallies and especially manage the team blog. The spirit here is electric and contagious... I just can't help myself and it seems that no one else can either!
The greatest of all the excitement is Friday Night FAN FEST! We've had GHS alumni volunteer their bands to play for us. You'll find food, tailgating, dancing, singing, face painting, haircutting (yes, you heard me right), fan gear, really anything and everything you can image. But the most important thing you'll find is COWBOY SPIRIT. It is running rampant in this little town and all I can say is...

So much to do...
I really should change the picture on that header up there. None of us look like that anymore. Heck, my Dillon is taller than I am and Tyson is now towering over his dad. And I should update the slide show. It hasn't been added to since I started this blog. But I'm to tired. Maybe another day. Stay tuned, you never know when that burst of energy will show up! Pray it'll show up SOON!

I've been blogging!
I've had strangers on the street ask me if
(Should this this scare me?)
Well, the answer to abandonment is NO.
I have been blogging ... just not here.
(a.k.a "work hours" ... oh wait, I'm mostly not being paid)
have been spent here:
Tooele County Showcase of Homes
AND
Cowboy Football
AND
Cowboy Football Fans
AND
Cowboy Baseball
AND
Cowboy Volleyball
AND
Cowboy Basketball
However, I am now returning to
3 Boys and a Girl
Because I've missed you.
Because I have much to report.
Because Dillon is mad at me.
