Halloween Night

Playoff Game

Last Saturday, October 25th, marked Jordan's playoff game. It was a beautiful day for football. Even better, an awesome day for a playoff game to see who would go the Kennewick Grid Kids Superbowl. Last year, our team didn’t make it to the playoff game, this year was a different story all together. Jordan was excited and ready to play his biggest game yet. He had family and friends in attendance and was pumped to show off his skills. The first half was awesome. The Panthers prevented the Colts from getting on the board, up 7-0 at halftime. Previously, in the regular season the Colts beat the Panthers (5-2) 33-0. The Panthers came out playing well the second half with some hard hits. Jordan leveled the quarterback and caused the him to make a huge fumble. Even playing tough, the Panther's were unable to hold back the Colts and lost their playoff game 7-13.

The team was sad but are looking forward to next year to redeem themselves. Great season Panthers! You looked great this year and should hold your heads high. Jordan, you are one heck of a football machine. Next year will come soon; I’m sure you are already thinking about it.

Pumpkin Patch!

The family went to the Pumpkin Patch today (some of us twice)! It was a beautiful day! Nanny (Alan's mom) even got to join us! Making memories!

Playoff Bound

The Panthers did it! Despite a loss to the #1 team, the Panther's are playoff bound with only 2 season losses! Jordan and his team will be heading to the playoffs next Saturday in a game that will determine the two Superbowl destined teams.

Jordan had a great game on Saturday. Executing in tackles, loss of yardage take downs, and a sack! We give God the glory that his team did so well and protected him from injury.

Jordan's team will play this coming Saturday at 9:00 am on Field 2 against the Colts. It'll be a tough match up. The boys were shutout at the beginning of the season against this team. Should the boys make it to the Superbowl, it will be played Wednesday October 29th at the big stadium at 3:30 pm.

Jordan's Invention

My little inventor never stops thinking. :) Jordan has created another invention. This time out of a box we brought home from Costco. This is Jordan's car buggy He's still trying to figure out what he can use from our house that will 1) support the baby and 2) mom approved to use.

Also, a cute shot of Katie and Colin. As you may have read in my earlier post, a couple of weeks ago Katie wanted to know what she does since Jordan does football, Colin does soccer, and Jocie does gymnastics. Well Katie decided to "Be Like Colin" and put on his soccer shin guards. So cute!

Game Day!

Jordan and Colin both had games bright and early this morning and unfortunately at the same time. Since this was the first game of the season for Jordan, I decided to attend his game. So other than knowing that Colin's team didn't fair well against their opponents, I don't have a lot to post on his game. He said he had fun though! :)

Jordan surprised me with his game! What a completely different player from last year! Probably the biggest change I noticed was in his leadership on the field. He showed so much focus, always listening to the coaches, always being one of the first guys on the line and in position, and giving every play his all. He's a team captain - leads the calisthenics at the beginning of practice, plays first team offense, and first team defense. In today's game, Jordan had two fumble recoveries, caused a third, sacked the QB, made some huge holes on offense so their team could gain some major yardage. WHAT A STUD! They won their game, 21-13. Check out the pictures from today's game...he's #28 (new jerseys this year, it was the closet we could get to #23)!

On a side note, the Cougars got whooped today, 66-3, sorry Al.
