Rugby vs Olympus

Saturday, Olympus came down to play us in rugby.  We annihilated them.  It was 38-0 at the half!  Ben stayed out to start the 2nd half.  Then he came back in with about 5 minutes left in the game.  In that last 5 minutes he made a Try and kicked 2 conversions making 1 of them.  In the first half he kicked 5 conversions and made 3.  They have anther kid that likes to try to kick as well but he hardly ever makes it.  So Ben had 13 points in the game!  It was pretty crazy.  The JV did well also.  Wes, is great.  We love to watch him.  He and Ben are very smart about the game.  They are on a different playing field than a lot of the kids.  But I think it's because they have Suene to coach both of them along.  They final score of our game was 60 -5!

You can't see Ben because the ref is in the way but that kick was perfect!

 My favorite part of the game.  The bow and the high five's!  

 The ref for today's games is our friend Chad Gough.  His thigh are Ben's life goal.  I talked to him before the game started and asked him if I could take a picture of his thighs so Ben could put it up on his wall to have something to work towards and he laughed and said yes.  

So here are Chad's swole thighs...

And here are Ben's...he needs a little work.  But I wouldn't be surprised if in ten years from now they looked a little closer to Chad's.

Our next game is next weekend in Herriman.  We are a little scared.  They beat us last year and we are hoping that their big kids all aged up!  I'll let you know how it goes.  We have a big weekend planned.  Utah just got it's own FIRST EVER PROFESSIONAL RUGBY TEAM!!!!!  It is located just up in Herriman and their opening game is this Friday and since we have a game against Herriman on Saturday we bought tickets!  We are SO excited!  Then Saturday morning we will have Easter with my family and  rugby that afternoon.  Priesthood session of conference that night for the boys and then Sunday a miracle will happened...we were able to get tickets to the morning session of General Conference!  Easter Morning!  WHAT!?!  I know.  It's a blessing from Joel's new calling.  We are so excited.  It's going to be great!  I can't wait to tell you all about it.
