Las Vegas Cup 2012 continued

With requesting NOT to play on Sunday, the boys decided to go to Sterling Dahl's old LDS ward. So as we were waiting for everyone to show up, the mom's had a photo opp- and we took advantage of it.

Tanner, Michael Smith & Braden Vawdrey

Back Row: Nate Walton, Nathan Henley, Tanner, Michael Smith, Braden Vawdrey, Carlos Vera, Brad "Bambi" Clark, Braden "Shell"ey, and Landon Wilson. (Less than 12 hours since his mouth was jacked up, poor guy couldn't even SMiLe!)
Front Row: Ryan Morrin, Devin Frampton, Andrew Anderson & Jared Hanson.

Later, after church when we got back to the hotel we took a few more pics of the boys. We wanted all 4 boys, but Braden wasn't with us so we missed out on him being in these photos.

Here, Tanner is waiting to see if he'll be "shocked" by the Water Wall feature. All the boys would touch it while walking by it, but I think the reason behind the "shock" was so people DIDN'T touch it.

Here's all 3 boys trying to get "shocked" at the same time.

A few FUN photos of the boys





Me & Tanner

Hanging out in the hotel room

Sunday afternoon we headed out to the Vegas Strip to see the m&m store, & the Belliagio water fountains. Then our plans were to meet up with the rest of the team at Cafe Rio for dinner. This picture was taken at the M&M store- if you look hard enough you might see a RED m&m between the boys.

Then we headed over to the Coca-Cola Store, we shopped a little then the boys wanted to take the World wide "Coke Sample" test. Where they buy sampling trays of Coke products they serve around the world. 16 different flavors from "way-GOOD" to "Nasty" flavors.

My camera wasn't working very well @ night, so these are the best pics I got in front of the Belliagio Hotel water fountains. You wouldn't know that as we were standing taking pics & waiting for the water fountains to go, RIGHT behind us were 2 Showgirls in their wedgie undies, high heels, HUGE peacock feather behind & barely there tops. The boys restrained from looking. But it wasn't EASY- The walk to & from the hotel was pretty bad too.

With having the most points total DYNAMO was 1st place in our division (B.) So we played another Vegas team in the Semi-finals. We played pretty good, worked hard but struggled getting any points. And on this game we had ONLY 1 game ball, which was AWFUL!!!! but the reffing was actually good & fair.

Here's the two teams- Dynamo vs. LSVA 95 Red





I wish at this point I had a better lens sometimes- this sequence of photos are some of my favorite of the tournament (well, of the ones that TURNED out!)

I LOVE this pic- if you look close enough you can see that Tanner goes after the ball & gets JUST as HIGH as the goalie but their actual heights are so different. Tanner really got a lot of air- And if I remember correctly the goalie really complained to the refs about Tanner going after him on this play. NO control, NO worries!

Tanner calling off another team mate, & trying to be patient until he can go back in-



It was a tough loss, but oh well what do you do?!?!

"Bring it on in. For one last time of the season!"

Tanner was a GREAT driver to and from the Las Vegas tournament.

This is driving from Las Vegas to Mesquite, where we would drop off Braden to his Mom who was there for the Finals in Dallin's tournament. LOVE these BOYS!!!

It was FUN & we had a GOOD time, but we were HAPPY to be home & figured out that we would go as a FAMILY next time.
