Weekend Update

Megan had her first cheer competition this past weekend. It was in Topeka, KS. So it was girls to Topeka and boys stayed home for Ryan's football game.

Here's Megan posing outside the ExpoCenter in Topeka. This competition was called Twister Jam and the character on the banner is "Jammy." I made Megan pose by this banner cause she thinks Jammy is goofy but the little girls love him :)
Her team did great and won their category. They scored an 8.4 out of 10 which is really high so the coaches were thrilled. It was a fun, long day in Topeka.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the boys had a day full of football. They went from watching the Hawks lose to a big battle in Ryan's last game of the year. They scrimmaged this team earlier in the year and beat them easily. Ryan said they were big, strong, & dumb in early Sept. He remarked they are now big, strong, & smart. Bruce said it was a tough game.
The score was 16 to 8 at half with Ryan's team leading. SM North tied it at 16 to 16 with 2:35 left in the game. Our QB had a 50 yard run to the 5 yr line and we scored with 57 seconds left. Final score was 22 to 16. Bruce said the other team had 4-5 kids as big as him. Yikes! Good thing I was in Topeka!!!
Football is now over and Ryan's team is 7 - 1 which is our best record ever. It was a good year. He's not playing basketball this year so he's got a little break until indoor baseball practice starts in January.
Sorry for the big block of writing - can't figure out how this happened :)

Good job to Megan's team! And what a tough loss for Ryan's team... they did have a great year though... So good job to them too!

...I said Megan's 'team'. Do they call them that or are they called cheer 'squads'? Oops :)

Ryan's team had a great record this year, tell him "congrats!" Same to Megs with her cheer tournament! And, I have to agree with Megan, Jammy is a little goofy!! :)
