T'was the Night before the Meet

Twas the night before a wrestling meet and all through the house .....

all of the Raiders were stirring all about......

Duffle bags were packed by the front door with care.......

in hopes that a pin would soon be a win!

A Day Off!

Mother Nature hit us with about 5 inches of snow and winds up to 50 mph. The boyz took advantage and had the snowmobiles running by 9:30 am. Shortly after the boyz were outside the wrestling coach called. I reassured him that the boyz would get some exercise in today! Lifting all those Christmas treats to their mouths! Just kidding. The snow was a welcome break from school & work. Saturday is our first wrestling meet in Delano. Sunday a Christmas party then a busy week of events.

Well today everyone was back in school and ready to move on. A lot of fun stories and memories about the past weekend. We had some exciting news today! Tabor received a letter from a college recruiter here in Minnesota. Tamara has a tendency to always complain that the O-line doesn't get enough love. Well it looks like someone was watching the line long enough to have a good look at Tabor. Another high lite was Tamara getting to hand all 3 of her son's runner up metals at the welcome home. The Boyz are taking a couple days off to heal up the bruises and then its off to wrestling practice for all 3. Yes, Bubba has made the switch to wrestling. YEAH we are going the same direction for sporting events.

The End of a Dream Season

I would be lying if I didn't tell you it still stings a bit that we took 2ND place. But we set some great records and made even more great memories! At the start of the season the state of Minnesota had 63 - 9man teams. At the end of the Dream Season we can say there was only 1 team better than us. And how many of those teams can say they had 4 fathers who coached and 7 son's who played. Big thank you to all who cheered us on each and every week. As the days go on and our bodies & hearts heal we will post more of our Metrodome Memories.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! This year we are "Thankful" for all our family & friends and our Raider Brothers. In just one hour we will be packing up the bus and headed for practice on the Minnetonka Dome. One more game and one more win. Tabor~Tanner & Dalton

Dome Dome Dome

This has been one amazing ride! And to think 20 years from now our boyz get to have this memory of our entire family on the turf at the metrodome. Truly a milestone they soon won't forget. They can do this ........ our RAIDER family ........lives it .........breathes it......... and knows it.

Feeling Like Home at the DOME

Words can't describe what happen today. We never gave up! Big "THANK YOU" to all our family members & friends who came to cheer us on. Even the Birthday Boy Justin came to the DOME to bring the Raiders good luck. I have a ton of photos to post of our adventure. Here is just a few to share. We are going to do it all again next Friday which by the way we are changing the name to BLUE FRIDAY!
