Brandon is not our little Brandon anymore. He is now one of the captains of the H.S. Freshman football team. He is 5'11" 185lbs. For the record his Dad was 175lbs his freshman year. SCARY!
Notice Brandon now has a badonkadonk butt! Don't tell him that. He now dead lifts 330lbs as you can tell from behind. He's #62 if you couldn't tell.

As a pulling guard he can obviously still run though. And woe be unto him who gets in his way.


B.J. prepares to pounce from his defensive tackle position. Yes, like Dad he plays both ways.



Even though it's only his 2nd year playing football, he has been asked to move up and practice with the Varsity squad. He was way excited! Mom and Dad however think staying on the Freshman team would give him more valuable playing time. We are still waiting to see what happens. He is enjoying every minute of this experience.



No this is not yoga class. This Matt pancaking a tackler as he scores a point after touch down.
Proof that Matt does carry the ball. One of his many talents on the football field.

Matt injured his thumb and became angry. This 6'5" 320lb defensive tackle found out....


DON'T MAKE THE HAMMER ANGRY! YOU WOULDN'T LIKE IT WHEN HE'S ANGRY.

Matt is always focused when he is playing football. Lots of concentration. Who can I flatten now.




Go Caden! He's the big boy keeping the path clear for his teammate to run for a touchdown.
I felt bad for the little guy going against Caden. He was a small line-man. Caden had no problems with that guy.

GET OUT OF MY WAY, I'M COMING THROUGH!


Caden is sizing up his opponent. I don't think he was too worried today. Usually they're a bit bigger. Caden is learning a ton this season and having a lot of fun.



That is a winning smile if I say so myself. A proud boy after winning 32-6!

What an awesome picture of you guys. Great smiles! We love you.
What a cute bunch of kids. Too bad Nate wasn't there.
He was playing his game on the other fields.

Thanks for coming Grandma and Grandpa!
It was a great suprise!






The kids were so excited when Grandma and Grandpa Sink and Aunt Christine came to Las Vegas to watch them play baseball. They were very suprised. We had lots of fun, just wish they could of stayed longer.



Caden has had a great time playing ball this season with his brother. He has learned a ton and has become a very important part of the team. He is there number one left fielder and has come through at the bat many times. The high light of his season was getting a big hit off the fastest pitcher in the league to help eliminate that team from getting to the finals. Caden had nothing but smiles when he hit off that kid because he is good. He went 2 for 3 that game.

Brandon's season is just about to come to an end. They lost the first game in the tournament which puts them into the losers bracket. They will play on Wednesday to see if they can stay in. He has had a great season, pitching and playing second base. The team seems to be getting tired. Pitcher's arms are sore, especially B.J's. He has been hitting real well this season and of course running the bases like a pro. Last game he almost hit it over. I don't think I have ever seen him hit it so far. It barely missed and bounced over. This is possibly B.J.'s last season d/t swimming in high school, the two sports are in the same season. We will miss watching him play ball, it has gone way too fast. He turned into a very wonderful young man. Hopefully they can pull out a win on Wednesday and will get to see him play a few games longer. If not, it has been nothing but fun!














Matthew and his beautiful smile. I wish he would always wear it. He has had a great season but I think the highlight of it all was his Grand Slam home-run against the Orioles. He has done very well pitching this year and his batting has really been top notch.




Matt and Caden's team have currently played there way into the Championship game this Monday at 6:00 p.m. They are very excited, I think they want that big trophy again. If they lose on Monday they still get another chance on Tuesday to win because they are they only team in the tournament without a loss. Matt will not be pitching because he pitched the last game, but he and Caden will come with there bat's ready. Last game he struck 8 of the nine first batters out and then his last inning pitched he struck out one. I think they got 2 hits off of him. He did real well, very focused and his head was reallly in the game. His teammate came in and closed the game pitching the last 2 innings very strong.



This pitch looks so painful. I don't know how there arms can take that. Which is why they give these kids such a sticked pitch count. When we played you could pitch a whole game, not for these boys. They only make it about 4 innings in a game and then they have to be pulled. If they go over 60 pitches they can't pitch the next game which is usually the case. It's smart, saftey first.
