McKay Midway Football vs Yerdon

McKay just had his first football game of the season.  They played against the other Midway team and there was a lot of trash talking at school so they were dying to beat them.  

McKay had an incredible game.  He had already run in his cross country meet and still managed to do so well.

He got a lot of yardage as running back and also receiver.

These boys were thrilled to be water boys.

McKay also played kicker.

He caught every ball that was thrown to him!

And got his first and the team's first touchdown!

Coach Josh has prepared for months for football.  He has studied and created plays and tried to be ready for this experience.  He learned a lot in this game.

Touchdown Nelson!

Loving being a water boy a lot.  

We ended up winning 24-14!!  Way to go Midway-Nelson!

 

McKay First Cross Country Meet

McKay has been running with the Junior Wolverines over the summer and then ran with cross country when school starts.  He seems to like it and is super competitive.  

Warming up.

The boys..

Stretching

And he's off!

Checking his pace.

He ran the 2 miles in 15:18.  He was bummed because his pace was slower than it is when he's in practice.  It was super hot.  They ran at 12:00 pm.  He was 22 out of 113 runners.  He was 3rd out of the Hendrick's team.  Way to go McKay!

Waiting for the team results.  Our girls team took 2nd and the boys team took 3rd!

His great coaches.  He's loving cross country!

 

Combine YW/YW Activity Baking Wars

For combined YM/YW, the boys did a competition with the YW to see who could make the best dessert.  The bishop, his wife and Brother Norr were their judges.  

The boys made Texas sheet cake and the girls made chocolate cupcakes.  Both were so yummy!

 The boys ended up winning the competition.  Somehow I didn't get any pictures of my boys...

Lincoln Youth Leadership Forsyth Orientation

I am excited that Palmer and Lincoln get to do YLF together.  Lincoln is going through the program and Palmer is going to be a mentor since he went through the program last year. These are a couple of kids that went through last year that are going to be mentors this year with him. 

Tanner Wiggins, a boy in our ward, is also going through the program with Lincoln.

I am excited for Lincoln and all he will learn through this wonderful program!

 

Pole Vaulting End of Season Party

Hunter's pole vaulting coach had a party at his house on Lake Lanier at the end of their summer season. 

Everyone brought something to share and there was a lot of smoked meat.  So yummy.  The pole vaulters just goofed around.

They were doing an Oklahoma drill and then would tackle each other.  So funny!

We had a great time!

 

McKay-Jamboree

The preseason Jamboree is a great tradition in Forsyth that we weren't able to do last year.  I'm so glad that we could do it this year (although Covid numbers are going up again).  Our team played against Sharon Springs, which doesn't have a select team so they have a ton of big kids.  We don't have as many because our select team takes them all. 

McKay had some good runs.

Palmer giving McKay some advice.

We lost 0-7, but at least we didn't get killed.  They had some big kids!

It was fun to have Palmer at McKay's football game!  

 

Tea time with Miss Beverly

I love visiting with my friend Beverly.  We always have a good chat and tea. She always makes me such yummy cakes to go with our tea.  She's the sweetest, loveliest woman and I am grateful to be her friend.
