More LEST Photos

I was able to get 3 more photos of Justin at LEST from another CLS person. He has a better camera than I do and was able to get a couple action shots during a game!

Warrior End of the Season Parent-Player Game

Justin (in the black shirt) and Grandpa Greg (next to him in white shirt) play in the parent-player (and extended family) game. The team always plays this game at the end of the season and then gives out its awards.

Much needed break on the bench. #30.

Fouled on a shot and made one of the two free throws.

Uncle Daniel made it to the game! Last quarter but at least he made it!

Holly too! Justin made 7 of the 30 points tonite. 2 were beautiful 3 point shots and then the 1 free throw.

Tough Loss for the Warriors! 3-1.

Justin's team the Warriors had their 1st loss last night. It was a tough game. They led in the scoring at the beginning and then the opposing team took the lead. The Warriors came back nicely but it just wasn't enough. Good game though!

Final Games of the Season for Hawks and Warriors!

Yesterday was the final game of the season for Justin (Warriors) and Tyler (Hawks). Justin's game was at 3:45 at Concordia. They won the game bringing their undefeated season to a close.

Tyler's last game was against his parent's alma mater TBS at 4:00. My good friend from high school (at TBS) Shannon came to the game. This was the first time I got to see her son Ryan. He is a beautiful boy! It was so good to see them both!

Both of the boys had fun this season and are looking forward to next season...not as much as I am though: both my boys will be on the SAME soccer team!!! Get ready Coach "K"!

Another Win for the Warriors!

The Warriors have won their 4th flag football game! They are currently undefeated! Justin (3rd from left) watches from the side lines as the offense does its thing.


He started the game on defense but also got in on offense. Here he is playing center and about to hike the ball!

On defense again as he blocks his opponent. Warriors victory 24-13!

Warrior Flag Football

Justin's team has done well in their 1st two games winning them both! This game's final score was 56-12. Justin is the backup quarterback and did well here to escape the opponent and get the ball off to a teammate down field.


James' brother Jonathan is here visiting from Hawaii and along with Grandpa Greg and Grandma Nadine came to the game to cheer Justin on!

Great game!

Warrior Flag Football Win #1

Concordia Warriors have made the switch from soccer to flag football. Today was their 1st game.
Justin is 3rd from the right with his back to the camera.


The weather was perfect for the game. The sun was out but not too hot! Justin played offense today and he is the backup quarterback.

In motion!!!!

Final score! We are the red! It was a great game.

What A Warrior Team!!!

This picture was taken by another Warrior mom after the last LEST game!!! You can tell by looking at it that they had a great time playing together as a team! Justin #32 is front and center!

LEST Basketball-Fast and Furious!!!

Basketball starts off with a prayer for safety and good sportsmanship, as well as thanking God for their ability to play the game!


Justin on the free throw line for 2 shots!

Justin (#32) plays a very physical game of basketball. Here you see him pushing another player out of his way...

Justin making a move towards the basket!

Justin awaits the ball as his opponent flies toward him!

One of the results of his hard play...this one on his elbow! But he never complains...just gets up and goes for more!

The Warriors only won 1 of the 3 games they played, but they had FUN!!!

And we're off...

We (Tyler, Justin and me) are leaving tonite for a Concordia Lutheran School competition in Portland, OR. Every year the school participates in L.E.S.T (Lutheran elementary schools tournament). This year Justin will be competing on the basketball team and in his marimba music group. The basketball will be alot of fun, but I really love the marimba group! A marimba is like a xylophone and range in size from the one that looks like a toy that babies play with to the "big bass" that is so big you have to stand on a large box to be able to reach it! Justin is so naturally musical and he does really well at it! I will post pictures when we return. I will try to post a video of the marimba performance as well...(I will need your help Mark!!!).

Warrior Basketball's Tough Season

This has been a tough season for Justin and the whole Warrior team. The team has only won 2 games to their 6 losses! (Justin on the free throw line)


This last game was especially rough with 3 players being injured, one being Justin!
(Once again on the free throw line)


He came out of the game with knees covered with bruises and a "dead-leg" to the thigh. One fall sent him sliding down the court after his cheek literally bounced off the floor.
He was a trooper and never had to come out of the game but it left me biting my nails!
(Justin taking the ball down the court)




The whole team deserves a lot of credit for never giving up and keeping the true Warrior spirit of good sportsmanship through the losses. It is hard to lose, when all other seasons have been full of wins...but the guys have showed that they are conducting themselves in a way that would please our heavenly Father! The season is only half over...so GO WARRIORS!!!

(Justin under the basket-just shot the ball)

Warrior Basketball

Another Warrior basketball game with Justin leading the team! Justin #32 is having a good time this season. He is learning alot as the season progresses. We enjoy watching him (and the team) play. Justin has great moves out on the court! He really is a natural! GO WARRIORS!

Warrior Basketball

Warrior basketball has begun. Justin enjoys being on the basketball team. He is one of the team captains. He plays in the guard position. They rely on him for throw ins and to bring the ball down the court as well as all his baskets!!!. He may be the 2nd shortest on the team, but what he lacks in height he makes up for with skills! He really is a good player and puts his whole self into the game! It makes me so nervous to watch him flying down the court and being knocked down by his opponents. But he just pops right back up like nothing happened and continues the game! GO WARRIORS!!!
