12-27-11 - All the Scholten's. Gienger's, Crabtree's and friends were in the stands as the "Eagle's" took on the Nooksack Valley Pioneers. The first halve was close all the way and at halve-time Nooksack lead by a score of 26-24. Nooksack was the hotter of the two teams, our only positive was that Nooksack wasn't getting as many shots.
The second halve started with Nooksack really starting out hot and think they only missed two shots in the third quarter. We were behind by about 13 points when we started the 4th quarters and all us fans were saying they have to start a fast run. Well, the boys must of listened as we tightened up and defense, move court press and started hitting the 3's, Evan hit a couple and Scottie our point guard hit some and before we know it the score is like 54-53 and Cedar Park is ahead. Then to finish out the game we made some free throws and final score is 58-53. "GO EAGLES" . They needed this win really bad and now are waiting for the EAGLES FROM FERNDALE TO SHOW UP.
Tonight at 7:30 we play Ferndale.

Arrived Home 12-10-11
12-10-11 - We flew from Phoenix, AZ to Bellingham, WA. The first leg was good until we got a hundred miles south of Seattle and the fog settled in or should I say it was below us as we flew north. It was a strange situation aas we could see the mt. tops sticking out of the fog.
Then as we cirlcced Seattle and came in for a landing, thought the fog would lift as we got closer to the grund, wrong as we came to the runway the fog was only a few ft off the ground. We had never seen flog so thick. Had a two hour laayover and couldn't even see planes leaving just the noise. Then in about an hour it starting leaving and when we boarded our plane for Bellingham, had a great trip with sun and a beautiful view as we follewed the shore line north. Made it to Bellingham without a hitch.

Wow! It sure is cold!
12-06-11 - We are counting down and will be flying out of Phoenix on Friday the 9th of Dec. at 7:10 AM. We will have Sun City Express pick us up from the motor home and deliver us to the airport. Not used to getting up this early, but I guess we will manage
Have been getting some Christmas shopping done and will pack things in to take home. There will only be about 16 days left before Christmas when we arrive home. So there will be lots of things to do, decorating the house, outside lights, shrub pruning, etc. Then there will also be lots of basketball to watch.
Have been getting lots of snow in Flagstaff which is about 100 miles north of here. Our temps have really dropped and high today was only about 55 degrees. Well I guess we have to remember today is Dec. 6th and it is winter.

Cedar Park Christian School Basketball has started!!
12-02-11 - Well our Grandson Evan's Cedar Park School team is going and did OK their 1st two games. They played Life Christian Academy from Tacoma, WA on Thursday night 11-01-11. They played well enough to win but ended up losing in two OT's by a score of 65-63. Evan scored a total of 18 points in this game and also got lots of rebounds, blocked shots, etc.
Then last night the 2nd they play Granite Falls High School at Cedar Park and we come away with a win 47-37. Evan scored 6 points in this game, but got 4 blocks, 9 rebounds to go with his points.
So since football is finally over and the Lynden Lions are State Champs in 2A will move on to basketball. So now we will be flying home to watch Evan's basketball games for the month of Dec. and a few in January. Wow! When you are retired never a dull moment.

Championship Football Game 2A - Lynden & Archbishop Murphy!
Dec. 3, 2011 - We have had a really hard game so far and we are in the second quarter. We did get a field goal in the 1st quarter and were ahead 3-0. Then in the 2nd quarter they scored and now lead the game 7-3 and have about 4 minutes to halve time. Halve time score 7-3 MTM.
Things do not look good at halve time as we just haven't done anything in the offensive department. We have only had the ball for a very short time. ATM has over 160 yards and we are like a -6 yards total offense. So we have to do something in the second halve to stop them from getting plays. They had over 30 plays and we only had 11. So have to change this if possible in the second halve. Back later.
We came out in the 3rd quarter and they kick to us and we drop the kick and they recover. So we think OK we have to change this and finally our defense does awesome and our offense is moving the ball.
You won't believe how this game came to an end. We were down 14-10 when only a couple of minutes to go. We had to do a safety and give the other team 2 points, so now we are down 16-10. Then we do an onside kick and recover the ball. Then we drive down with only 1:40 to go in the game and score. So now it is tried 16-16 and then our kicker makes the PAT and we win 17-16. "LYNDEN LIONS ARE THE 2A STATE CHAMPIONS" The announcers said this was one of the best High School games ever and in any classification. We listed to the whole game via http://www.winnnw.com/ and they did an awesome job since we were in our motor home here at Happy Trails in Surprise, AZ listening to the game on our laptop computer.. GO LIONS!
