Happy Birthday, Braden! We love you!

stevie's five-o on nine-o-two-one-o

Well, it's official folks, Stephen Leslie Nickle is fifty as of today, 9/02/10. Happy Birthday!

In celebration, we had a surprise shindig on Tuesday night, themed "Hawaii Five-O." It was a great turnout, and an absolute blast!

Timpanogos had their first game of the season last night vs. Payson. It was a win for the T-Wolves! It was exciting because as a new HS Junior, Bryson was able to start varsity as a runningback on offense! He also played quite a bit of defense. Of course Braden would have started too, but he has been recovering from a torn hip the past few weeks (YIKES). Next game!

Anyway, here are a couple of shots I got of Bryson after the game, acting normally, or should I say, as he normally does:

and now a good one:

and my favorite photo of the night, Braden and Bryson together after the game. Love it!

Bryson had a huge play in the first quarter where he caught a long pass and ran with it for a 61 yard gain. Woohoo! He was mentioned by name in two of the local papers today for that play, click the links to view the articles online:
