The big project in 6th grade is that every kid has to do a Country Report. Austin Chose Zimbabwe since his Uncle Ty has been there. Austin worked really hard doing it and getting it ready. Sometimes I think it's more of a project for the parents instead of the kids, but he still did do alot of work on it. Good job Aust!
Ty was nice enough to come up from Provo the week of his finals to come and speak. Thanks again Ty!
Tonight we had Austin's football banquet. Here is a picture of Coach Olsen, Austin's friend Marty Adams, Austin & Willis. They all had a good time! We met down at the South Weber Rec. Center, and ate Cafe Rio burritos & salads (YUMMY), then listened to Coach McBride from Weber State. He had a good message for the boys and they all really seemed to enjoy having him there. After that, they gave out awards & watched their season highlight film. It was a fun night!
OH!! Cute! Here are some of the Coaches congratulating eaxh other after a great season!
When Coach McBride was done talking, he went through and shook everybody's hands. He didn't miss a person. The kids thought they were on cloud nine!
Here is Coach McBride during his talk. He told so many stories of when he was coaching and when he had his own kids playing that related to everything from every aspect of playing sports.
Here are the coaches when they were getting ready to hand out the awards to the kids.
We'll unfortunatley Austin's team lost today in the playoffs so we are now out. BUMMER! I think Austin's expression pretty much sums it up. He was mad because I insisted on taking his picture right after the game & he wasn't in the mood for it. Owell Aust - I got it! Austin had a incredible year, I told Willis I think he improved 100%. He had about 10 sacks this year and every game had at least 1 awesome tackle if it wasn't a sack!
Here's a far off shot at Willis talking to the boys in a huddle. He was the defensive coach this year and really had a good time doing it. The boys always really like it when he coaches them.
Here's the team going to shake everyone's hand after our sad loss to Skyview.
Austin received the hit of the week award for football this week. Each week when the coaches review the game film at their meeting, they decide on a player who had an outstanding game the week before. This week Austin got it. He had 4 sacks & several NICE tackles. He is really doing well & playing hard. He starts both ways each week so he's seeing TONS of playing time. He was really excited to be picked by the coaches. Nice job Aust!
Austin received his Arrow of Light Award this week at Scouts. This is the highest award they can get in Boy Scouts, so we're really proud of him. Here's a picture with the other boys that got it that night. Billy Huxley, Cole Welsh, Austin & Marty Adams. Way to go Aust!!
Here's a picture of the proud parents with him after he got it. Don't we look thrilled?
My Dad helped Austin quite a bit with his merit badges. He came to watch him get his award
Here's Austin pinning on my Mothers pin. Willis told him if he poked me, he couldn't east dinner that night. FUNNY!!
