Happy birthday Dawn and Shauna... who says husbands can't put together a last minute party for our wives. So, Happy Birthday Mrs. Matt & Mike Beckwith. Pics are here... cool to see Shane, Wendy, Shawn, Maria and kids.... well, it's nice to see everyone... you know what I mean!
Given the choice between soccer and hockey, we’d take soccer. Add arena football to the equation and we’d take that every day of the week. We really enjoyed going to Ports games at the old park but fell in love with the new ballpark on the waterfront. This made sense.
Hockey, though? In Stockton?
Well, we decided to go the second game at the arena tonight and let me tell you, we are cynics no more!
The Stockton Thunder is, hands down, the best entertainment value in Stockton. We have never watched hockey before but quickly caught on. Even the girls loved the game. At the end of the second period we got up to leave. That was, until the couple sitting next to us educated us. We had no idea there was three periods.
Throughout the final period, Emily and Makenzy were on their feet, cheering on their new favorite team.
I can tell we’re going to be seeing a lot more of these guys. The play is awesome. The entertainment is great. The crowds are better than anything else in Stockton.
This is exactly what Stockton has been begging for.
Now given the choice, we’ll take hockey every day!
Kudos to Dan Chapman for putting together another winner!
Go Thunder!
The Stockton Jaguars played a tournament in Galt this weekend. Saturday's game was early and brrrrr cold... it was the closest to sub-zero we get in this area... the ground was like ice! Sadly, they lost all three games... but they are now hungry for revenge... especially since they lost to Turlock and Modesto... two teams they had never lost to this year! More tourneys in January in Pleasanton... and they are itchin' to get back to where there were before... 2nd place in the Roseville Tournament and 1st in the Stockton Tournament.
Ok... I know... it's been eons since we updated the site... Matt's bad. Anyway, we're back... with over 800 new pictures and videos. Three birthday parties... two holidays... tons of soccer and even some cool pool shots and field goal attempts. Anywhooooo...... enjoy.... and GO CHIEFS.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING! What a great Thanksgiving... great food, hanging out with the family. Some of the boys went over to the high school and tried to prove who could kick the longest field goal, even though none of us had any real experience kicking a football. Check out pictures here.
Some of the cousins... wow... these girls are getting older and older!
The Stockton Jaguars ended their regular season recently with two impressive wins against Turlock and Ceres. Now it is tourney time! These girls, some of who have played together for many years, played very well this year and we are looking forward to some tough soccer in December and January. We lost some pretty tough games but won some really killer games. We may be biased but Dawn and I think that this team has the best group of girls in our league. Check out pictures of the season here.
Don't mess with Stockton!
Nice header, Emily!
Way to go Jaguars... and thanks to the coaches... Frank, Fernando and Alberto!!!
1-2-3-GO JAGUARS!
