Congratulations to Team 4 - CYFL Fifth Grade Division 2 Champions for the 2009 season! Team 4 was undefeated (6-0) during the regular season to secure the Division Championship.

Team 4 proudly represented the Tomahawk organization and soundly defeated 3 teams on way to a 2nd place finish in the tournament. Awesome job Team 4!!

Weds Football camp DONE

Alex's last camp day was today...he says it was extremely hot.."grandpa I even sweated just standing around"

My response" Good job Alex means you are getting ready for the season"

And don't you know this little guy took that opportunity to ask" grandpa can you get me an Xbox game as a present for starting my 3rd and last year of Tomahawk football?"

My response

" NO...I guess the heat must have really affected your mind" Lets just see how the season goes before you start negotiating for stuff OK?""

"OK grandpa"

So then we left and had Chinese and he proceeded to explain the differences between WII, X BOX and PSP

He's just planting the seed...hes a little con .

2010 Football Camp Day 2

Arrived at Alex's at 7:45AM with 3 McDonald's hash browns and OJ for his breakfast prior to camp....He was awake and ready to go...I dropped him off at the coaches house and returned home to work.
1:30PM Coach dropped Alex off, He played with Jr and Ollie for a few minutes and then we went to 5 Guys for burgers and fries...
He was excited about the camp and even met a new kid joining our team this year.
So far it seems his mind is in the right place for this last year of Tomahawk football
Oh yea I measured him and hes just under 5 ft tall abou the exact size as his dad at the same age

Bengal Youth camp

Alex and I attended a "FREE" Bengal Camp today. There were about 100 boys there all ages...although the best thing was that there were 6 of Alex's Tomahawk teammates there also......football is in the air an its just around the corner.

The camp was relatively simple ...the boys ran a few drills and caught and kicked a few balls...But because we attended this camp we found out about another one so guess what.......Tomorrow at 8AM he will be at another camp at a local college.

He appears to be excited but with Alex u never know......

Ill keep u posted.

"Oh yea"there were no BIG name Bengals at the camp but it was still a nice time

He's pictured here with a few teammates and also the crowd of boys at the camp...as u can see hes not paying attention to the guy talking

Father's Day 2010

Great day today...Spent the morning out back with man's best friends Gabbi ( who I should start charging rent) Ollie( The wild one) and Jr who's birthday is today.

KK and Terri drop by with birthday gifts for Jr and treated me to dinner at my favorite place...Cracker barrel and a movie Toy story 3...which by the way I had already seen but wanted to see again.....I warned them they would get choked up and they did.

Oh yea...we also stopped by a pet store and saw almost the most adorable pug puppy Ive ever seen...Gabbi is the best of course. kK already had named the puupy "HANK".The scarry thing is I can imagine Hank running around with Ollir Jr and Gabbi ..."STOP THE MADNESS"

All in all it was a great Daddy Day....as for icing on the cake I got long distance calls from Jaman and Jason..and Monday Alex will be participating in a youth football camp...sponsored by the Bengals

Football starts in less than 30 days time to get our minds right.
