2016 Region Championship

End of season awards were handed out today for region play. Tommy made 1st team All-Region. It essentially recognizes the top 12 players of the season and gives them an automatic berth to participate in the State Championship regardless of team play. Then the Timpview team was presented the Region Champion trophy.

Ants!

I was out with my boys and one of them accidentally dropped a water bottle down a steep slope and it got lodged against a rock. It was close enough that I thought I could retrieve it easy enough. So climbed down a bit, but ground was a bit sketchy, so I went down on one knee to try to balance as I grabbed it.

One of my kids said, dad, ants are crawling on you.

I’m like, don’t care, let’s just grab this quick.

So I got the bottle then looked…

My leg was COMPLETELY covered in red and black ants!!!!

It was so quick, I was maybe kneeling for 10-15 seconds.

Probably should look a little closer where I’m kneeling next time.

My son Tyler is very creative. Lately I’ve been showing him a bunch of programs on the computer to open that creativity to the digital world and this morning he made me this. Love it!
