Great Hot game today!!! Everyone played their hearts out and shut down the Bobcats! I LOVE IT!!!!!!! There were way too many great plays today to start naming...but we looked good on defense, offense , the line, punting, etc.....just everything! Let's keep up the good teamwork and sportsmanship and go get those White House Blue Devils next...... maybe it will start cooling off here soon. Go Vikings!

Saturday's Scrimmages

What a great start to the 2008 Vikings season to have two wins on Saturday. As Coach Mike says however, "Don't go buying your Superbowl Rings just yet." The boys played very hard, and it was nice that both first and second string players got to see a lot of action on the field. Newcomers to the team this year showed us what talent they had to offer and we saw great effort put forth from them!! The boys who've been playing Vikings football for a while continued to do show their dependability and performed well on the field.

It was a HOT day, probably hitting the high 90s and the coaches were well-prepared with coolers of Gatoraid and rags soaked in ice water to keep the boys hydrated and cool.

Great job Vikings. Keep up the good work!

Photos from Joelton at Donelson - 08/02/08

Each week I (Maria Latham - Josh's mom) will post photos of your children for you to view on this site. There will be a link to a website that contains that week's photos. You are welcome to view, copy, have printed or save these photos. They are for you to use however you want. There are no fees to you for any of this. You do not have to have copyright permission to use them, but please be sensitive of using photos of other people's children without permission from them.

I try really hard to get them uploaded prior to Monday morning. Usually, they are done Saturday night or Sunday morning. I am trying really hard this year to cut down the number of photos I take, but it literally pains me to delete a photo of your child. I managed to pare this week's offering down from 371 to 242. *smile*.

If you have questions about the photos, feel free to see me or Kevin at the park. If I didn't get many photos of your child this week, next week might be their week. Before the season is over, you will have plenty of photos of your child to view.

These are also the photos we use to make the end of the year memory book that we offer for purchase.

Have a great season!! I look forward to photographing our team again this year!

This weeks photos can be found here (click the word here and you'll go to the site).

This week's favorite photo. These were some hot boys!!
