Our weekend playing paintball, Ironmen practice and hanging with Nicky C
















We had a great weekend. We played at Velocity in Ramona (if anyone ever trys to tell you this is San Diego they are LYING to you). Saturday was bacically a day of rec ball and learning a new field. We left OC early and were there and geared up and playing by 10. We played all day in temperatures over 110 degrees. After a hard day of play, we headed into the real San Diego to hang out with Nicky Cuba. Nicky's mom and brother were visiting from the east coast so we all headed out to eat dinner downtown (incl Nicky's girlfriend Melissa and friend Kia, like the car). We made it back to Nicky's after ice cream just in time to see the Sea World firework show. Sawyer spent the rest of the night playing with the dogs (Button is small and Mongo is stinkin' HUGE) and playing Call of Duty on the Xbox while the grown ups hung out by a fire outside. The next morning came early. After showers and donuts were were headin back to Velocity again. Today the Ironmen practiced snap shooting, 1-1's and some running drills and Sawyer had a blast doing them all - well, he was pretty nervous about the 1-1's. Can't wait to go to another practice someday.

Helping set up the fields for practice. And a few of us playing some rec ball - or Sawyer playing some rec ball anyway!

Sawyer gets bunkered at SC Village night games

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1TesiKxEFM

7 on 7 at SC Village August 7 2009 night games - shadows were horrible and makde it impossible to see when playing and even worse to video - his team didn't let him know they were picked off one by one so he gets bunkered good - you should see his back - and anyway - who bunkers a 10 year old that hard anyway - he had a good night though - the next game I should have filmed too - he was on the wrong side of a 3 on 1 - and picked off the other two before getting a gun shot to get knocked out - but he almost pulled it off - sooooooo cool

Dye's I4 commercial featuring Sawyer's little sister

OK - not really their commercial - but it could be. Check out the just turned two year old little sister shooting a Proto PMR and wearing Dye's I4's. And her dad trying to get her to shoot lefy too...although she still uses the right hand. And speaking of the right hand - all that white gauze is how her dad wrapped it up after she grabbed a cactus earlier in the day - but she wasn't going to let no stinkin cactus stop her. Listen to the very end of the video for sure.

Paintball Camp Pics
















Friday, Saturday and Sunday we did a camping/paintball trip to Nana and Papa and Uncle Don's in Banning. Dad surprised Sawyer with his new team jersey and head wrap. We camped out, cooked out and played paintball and did lots of other camping activities and some other fun things like ride the go kart. It was Sawyer, Dad, 2 little brothers, little sister, dog (Dagney), Nana, Papa and Uncle Don.
