Utah State vs. BYU Game Night

BYU/Utah State Football 🏈 Party with the Davis Family!

Football Season 2016

Justice played a good season of football. This was his last year of Small Fry football- kind of bitter sweet. He played for the MT City Grill team with Steve Thennis as his coach.

Here's the team when we took our own pictures:

And the 2016 Team roster:

He played a little Offense.

But mostly Defense:

One awesome story to remember-
On his last game they were losing so the coaches rotated every one in to get a chance to play one more time. Justice played some defense and got an awesome tackle. Then they put him in on Offense. Guess who scored the only touchdown for his team???? Yep. That's my boy!!! Way to go kid!

Showing off His Football Skills

We took Grammy & Grandpa Randy with us to Justice's football game this morning. It was a little chilly! (way chilly for Grammy in her parka, gloves & hat!!! LOL) Good game, Buddy!

SuperBowl 50

We've never been huge watchers of the SuperBowl (mostly because it's on Sunday but also because we are mostly made up of girls;) but for some reason Justice was excited to watch it this year with his Dad. So I whooped up some party snacks and we had our our little SuperBowl ParTay! It was fun to be together and do something the boys love. XO

Justice's Montana City Grill Football Team

Justice played Football again this Season. He played for the Montana City Grill Team. He was on B Team this year. The older boys seemed HUGE this year so Justice played a little more timid than last year. But he learned a lot and had a good experience.
He had practice every week day for 2 hours. Then games on Saturdays. It was super tiring but he got in really good shape. He learned to have good technique and overcome his fear of bigger players. He would make deals with his Dad for how many tackles he'd get during a game to earn a treat.

After his final game, we went as a family to celebrate his season with ice cream!

BYU Game

Brett (and Justice) got his Brother-laws and nephews and son together again this year to go to a BYU game together. It was an awesome game to be at! They had a great time even though they got back to the Davis' super, super late! [Dixon & Chandler are hanging out together in NY- so jealous! so Brett & Justice took Ethan along with them]

They even got to slap a High 5 to some of the players afterwards! Super cool!

BYU vs. Utah State 2014

This is the second year that Brett got "the boys" (Dad & all his brother-in-laws) together to the go see the BYU vs. Utah State Football Game. This year Brett took the three younger kids to Utah for the weekend. After dropping the girls to Cheri, quite the crew was able to join Justice & Brett for the game. Brett & Justice love hanging out with all these amazing men. The game was a little less amazing for the BYU fans. "BYU quarterback Taysom Hill suffered a fractured left leg in the second quarter of the No. 18 Cougars' 35-20 loss to Utah State." Brett said Justice was pretty devastated with the loss. Bummer for the loss! But it is a super fun tradition.

Photos graciously taken by Grandpa!
You're awesome!!

The girls were able to spend time with the Davis Family (whom they adore more than their own family!;) 

Shauna & Hulio took a large group of the kids to a session of Conference on Saturday afternoon. It was Victoria's first time. Super special.

Glory & Brett got to visit with Grandpa Randy for a bit at lunch. 

And Brett got to take flowers to Aunt Tauni from us after her surgery. 

Tons to pack into one weekend but Brett is pretty amazing and fit it all in.

Unfortunately, I forgot to pack them the camera so there's no photographical evidence that the girls were ever there. [Sad face from me] But they all had a fabulous time!!! Pretty sure none wanted to come back.

[Mom & Liberty stayed home and got a few things organized, hung out with some friends, stayed up way late watching movies and listened to Conference together]

Small Fry Football 2014

Justice has spent the last couple months practicing/playing football five days a week. It's been an awesome & extremely hard experience. He had an amazing team and coaches. They worked hard and learned so much this year! He loves football and now he knows how much work it is to be really good at it. We are way proud of him! Way to go, Justice!!!
Here's some of his practices:

And some shots at his games:

Go Helena Motors!!!

On August 29th- the team got free tickets to the Helena High Football Game. They all got to go down on the field during halftime. Fun times!

Bengals Football Camp

Justice had the chance to attend a Football Camp this week. It was taught by the Helena High Football Team. He was a bit shy with he other boys but he LOVES Football so I think he enjoyed himself!!!

The last day, they received awards.

Lay's Turkey Bowl & Pie

Thanksgiving morning, Brett & Justice joined the Lay family (along with others) for a Turkey Bowl Football Game at EVMS. Everybody made it back without a trip to the ER. Yeah!!

After a fabulous Feast with the Coils- In the evening, we rejoined the Lay family for Pie and some games. So yummy and such great friends. Thanks guys! We are grateful for you in our lives!

Aggies vs. the Cougars

When Brett found out that BYU was playing Utah State in Logan, he started making plans on how to get there! He called his Dad and his brother-in-laws and invited them to join him. Because it was Conference weekend- Brett wanted the whole family to make a weekend of it with a trip to UT. It seemed like it was going to be A LOT of driving for a very little amount of time but it turned out to be way fun! Let me tell you- a 6 1/2 hour drive beats the Fargo to UT 20 hours ANY DAY of the week! LOL

We took off Friday morning to drop Brett & Justice off in Logan. Some of the boys men met at the A&W on Main in Logan for dinner before the game.

Good job, Shay for taking a picture of the restaurant since there was no pics taken at dinner

The girls continued the drive down to the Davis' while the Football Gang bundled up for a chilly night at the Stadium.
They had a great time! Especially because for most of the group- they were cheering for either team! That's the joy of being BYU fans that attended USU. ;)

 What a fun GUYS Night Out!

Flag Football

Since we moved into the area at the end of the Summer, Justice missed the chance to sign up for football with his age group. Bummer! 

Brett did however manage to get him on a flag football team with the fourth graders. The coaches were not that experienced with kids so it's been a rough season. (on more than one occasion, Justice had to ask them to watch their language. What a brave, good example kid!;) But it's been a growing season as well.

Justice is usually a defensive player. He loves the game! You'll find him often outside practicing catching with his Dad. He loves the roughness of tackling or grabbing flags and the thrill of catching and running for a touchdown. 

This season however, he got the chance to play Quarterback. It's not his thing at all but he stepped it up! He's quite the leader and a quick learner. He worked hard practicing plays and strengthening his throwing arm. It's been a great experience for him that he may have not otherwise ever tried.

Way to go, Justice! We are very proud of you!
