Viking Football DAC Champions!

Today's game against the Jamestown Jimmies was another VICTORY for the Valley City Vikings. This makes them the DAC Champions, and should set them up to be in the playoffs.  As of today they're 7-1

Here's a few shots from todays game. I wasn't on the field, but in the stands today.

 Somehow today I kept seeing great humor in the Refs letters on their backs. They kept spelling out words to me. Like BUF- They really think they're BUFF! (of course we were in Jamestown, which is known for their buffalo too)

 HUH?  Isn't that what they were saying?

 VCSU the returning Bucket Champs - Some long time traveling trophy between the Jimmies and Vikings.

 Phil in the shadow of the bucket trophy

 That is the "REUER" stance

 Phil getting in on the action

 Phil got the tackle!!!

 I guess it was getting too noisy. They're the "SHHH" refs.  :-) hee hee

 Hey, isn't that what they call a "face mask" and is an illegal action?

 VCSU wins again and gets to keep the Bucket Trophy

Waving Hi to the camera!! 

(How do you find your mom on the field? Just listen for the clicking sound, right Phil?)

For the birds

Yesterday we had a huge amount of black birds in our yard. The noise was incredible!!

 If you look closely, the tree is black with birds

 starting to take off

There actually had been more birds earlier, but by the time I got my camera this was all that was left, still a lot, but not as many as before.

Let's play a little FOOTBALL!!

Stepping up to college football has really been fun. Last week the coach gave me a field pass and let me shoot on the field.  VCSU is having a great year, and is presently 6-1

Go Vikings

These are a few of my favorite shots of last Saturday's game.

Interesting in shooting football, it's not like you can really plan, you just hope you're in the right spot at the right time when the action happens and you can get the shot.

 Of course my favorite player #10 Philip Reuer- Yah, my boy!! 

Growing up Phil always wanted to play for the Vikings. I think he was thinking the Minnesota Vikings, but he's still getting to play for the Vikings. 

 Love seeing the refs do this!!  (the one symbol I know what it means!!)

 Can you tell Kristi and Todd really aren't into football. Both in the stands reading books. Wonder if they knew VCSU won the game?

 One of my favorite shots. I caught it on camera, but I think the receiver missed it.

 Yah! for the linemen that keep the "skinny" guys safe. (Can you tell I really don't know a whole lot about football. You think I'd be an expert by now since Phil has been playing since 3rd grade. But I still need that class "Football for Dummies, and Moms who don't know anything.")

 Run Phil run!! Everything gets blurry when Phil runs. 

 You're not going to catch me. 

 Although she rarely watches the game, she still is proud of her older brother!!

The black eye had nothing to do with football. He got that at a retreat he went to the weekend before in the polar bear dive. A total accident. You didn't need that football black stuff under your eyes, you had your own this game. LOL

Senior Collage

Today I spent part of the afternoon designing a couple of different collages for one of my Seniors.  Hadn't done this before, so was kind of fun playing around with it.

 Kristi liked this one the best.

 This one above is the one they liked the best and their choice of pictures.

This one was my favorite.

Guess everyone sees things a little different. So that makes designing all the harder, cause it's all so subjective.
