Fabulous Football

Yay for great football games! It started on

Friday with Micah's home game vs. Central Lyon.

FYI - Sioux Center has not beaten Central Lyon

in FIFTEEN years!

Here is a clip of Micah running for the first down.

4th quarter - 12 seconds left in the game - tied 7 to 7.

QB sneak - was it successful?

That's right - my brother won the game :)

Here he comes through the student tunnel.

On to Saturday - GO HAWKS!

What an amazing victory :) Micah had about

ten friends over (plus all of us) so the noise

during the blocked punt and the rest of the

phenomenal 4th quarter was deafening.

It was a blast.

And finally - Sunday. The Van Gorps are huge Vikings

fans so we watched the last five minutes of the game.

Vikings were down 20-24 with seconds left and I

couldn't help but think - three great wins in one

weekend? Nah..it can't be. But lo and behold, Mr. Favre

connects with this guy (Lewis?? Seth had never seen him

before :) ) for the winning touchdown. It was down to the

centimeter but they pulled it off.

Cousin Brad

Now with your latest installment of the family

fun show. Micah had a great game last Friday - 35 to 6!

And what's family fun without boisterous cousins?

Brad would continually shout "That's my cousin!!"

whenever Micah had a good play.

During the game Brad and I discussed Christmas plans

and our desire to get the whole family together for a

good ol' family bash. (And a baby shower for Lianne :))

Brad was on board and proceeded to tell me what

would be required on this party's menu. Interested?

Okay here ya go:

Here are some videos of Micah's touchdown passes

and how Mom acts during every play of Micah's

games. She's a bit of a nervous nelly :)

Cute :) Rhonda and Sherwin were reminiscing

about their first date and watching Saturday

Night Live and how Sherwin and Dad thought

SNL was hilarious and Rhonda thought it was

the dumbest show she's ever seen :)

Ty and his killer drum set

We were all sitting around eating yummy "lunch"

and waiting for Micah to come home. And here he is!

Brad commented that Micah was a "real live ken doll"

While discussing the benefits of fresh fruits and

vegetables, Brad commented "the only fruit I know

of are certs and starbursts."

Micah was not super excited for his first highschool

dance so Brad tried to pump him up and teach him

how to properly dance with his lady friend.

I took this shot as we left Sergeant Bluff VERY early

Saturday morning for Iowa City. Pretty cool huh?

One More

I forgot to post this video from this weekend.

Boys are naughty. Seth was trying to deflect footballs

so that they would hit people. Well this backfired

on him as Trevor decided to do it back to him.

His jaw hurts today.

Fambily

Micah had another football game this Friday.

Unfortunately they didn't win - but Micah

did well and is always fun to watch! Here

are a few clips.

This was a great throw and catch but got called

back for offensive pass interference - what

do you think?

Yum.

So tough.

Beatles Rock Band!!

Here a few pictures from Micah's first game.

Paige's mom took some cool shots so I

thought I would share them.

Game #2 - Micah once again did excellent work.

Unfortunately we just barely lost and to the Dutch.

But it was still fun and Micah did great!

I liked this - Micah's

name painted on a high schooler's back.
