Championship

Jasen's Bonecrushers played their championship game today. Unfortunately they lost 30-0, but they still came out and played a great game. Jasen got to be a captain today, and he also got a lot of play time so that was nice. And now our football season is completely done for the next few months.

Soccer Game

Hunter's soccer game today went well. His coach wasn't able to make it, so one of the other moms stepped up and she did a great job. Hunter's team lost 4-0, but Hunter was still able to block several more goal attempts. He really has the whole "defender" thing figured out!

Young Author

The Literacy teacher at the boys' school chose 6 students to read their own writings to their classmates and parents, for Young Authors week. Jasen wrote a story called "The Zip Line" and he was chosen to read! We went down to watch him, and he did a great job!

Cast

Tristan got his cast put on last night, and of course he chose Bonecrusher Blue since he broke it at a game! I think the novelty of having a broken arm has worn off, and now that he realizes all the things he can't do, he's pretty bummed out. But the good thing is that it turns out to be a buckle fracture, instead of an actual break, and so it will be healed fairly quickly and there shouldn't be any after effects from it. And he'll only have to wear his cast for 4 weeks, so he can be back to his normal self for summer.

Bonecrushers vs Sierra Vista~ Tristan

Tristan's team didn't make it to the playoffs this time around, but they played a game today anyway. They played against the Sierra Vista Lions and beat them yet again. This was by far the most interesting ending game for us ever. Toward the end of the 4th quarter, Cahl and I were sitting in the stands watching the game when we noticed Tristan holding his left arm. Not really unusual since he tends to stand holding his arms a lot, but we still wondered if he was ok. But we didn't really think about it since he was still playing. In fact, he finished that series, sat out for the defense, and then went back in for the last series of offense. So after the game was over and the final huddle broke, he came out crying. Which is really unusual for him- in 4 straight years he has never left a huddle crying. Especially after a winning game. So I asked him what was wrong and he said his arm hurt. He said that one of the players on the other team pushed him down from behind, and then stepped on his arm. He seemed to be in quite a bit of pain, and his wrist looked swollen, so we decided to take him in and have it checked out. Sure enough, it is broken! I am amazed at what a tough cookie he is. To break your arm during a game, and go back in a finish the game. He is awesome! And I have to say, he is SO proud of his first broken arm!
