em vee pee

Oh my goodness! Michael had the GAME OF HIS LIFE last Saturday.  He'd been told he'd be getting some touches on the ball and he totally made the most of it.  He ended the game with 16 carries for 91 yards and to add frosting to the deeelicious cake the Cougars beat the San Jose Spartans 29-16.  Oh my goodness, Michael was SO good! (do I sound like a proud big sister? haha)  He was so fast and strong - he was breaking tackles left and right and pushing through several players on each run.

He ended up as the game's MVP.  We were all so proud!

After the awesome game (which we watched at David and Shan's house cause it was soo cold and soo late), we stopped off at the stadium on the way home to congratulate Michael and give him a lei (which we made on the way in the car, but still good yeah?).  

me, Michael, Tali and Joseph

Mom has been here for three weeks to watch Michael play. I'm so happy she got to be here for this particular game.

It's been so fun reading all the awesome articles written about Michael and the game.  Everything is so positive and encouraging.  I especially loved listening to the interview Michael gave after the game.  He was so humble and gave all the credit to the O-line for making holes - I love that.  I know he'll stay that way.  I love my little brother so much and am sooo grateful he was given a chance to show his talent and passion.  I'm one proud big sister!  Goooo Michael!



And before I go, wanted to share this -  LOVE these shirts from my mom and LOVE seeing my little girls get in on the Cougar fan action!
