Football.. Gilbert jv Won 52 to 30!!

Here are a few pictures from Andrew's last game.. this is his 3rd game.. the 1st game they played the weather was windy and rainy.. so i was unable to take pictures there.. gilbert jv lost anyway.. :( On their 2nd game I did not go.. so of course there was NO photo's from that game.. and Andrew even scored a touchdown.. he ran 50 yards and scored!! Andrew had a total of 95yrs in rushing!! So .. ya.. of course I missed the whole thing!!!

Andrew is number 41, His position is Fullback.. go Andrew GO!!!

The farm is where my dad grew up, and I also spent alot of time there when I was growing up. I have alot of great memories there with all of my family.
