It's a Win at the Wrestles!

Landon's cousins, Chans Porter and Jaden Dickson both pinned their opponents at the wrestles tonight. Morgan overpowered Bonneville, winning every match but one. Way to go Trojans!

Take a look at the updated 2007 Roster !

Well I guess it's official.....

BYU will meet the Oregon Ducks in the December 21st Las Vegas Bowl. This year's showdown will mark the sixth meeting between BYU and Oregon, dating back to the 1964 season. Landon's teammate Jon Keller is from Eugene Oregon, and a HUGE Ducks fan. There are also alot of other Oregonian's on the TVCC team,and the Ducks are their team of choice. Landon of course is rooting for BYU. It will be a great matchup, with alot of pride (Landon's and Jon's) and bragging rights riding on the outcome !

Things are going well......

Landon is feeling pretty good, and getting around just fine. He is really busy with school work. Finals are next week. He'll probably be home LATE Thursday night (Dec 7th), and won't have to be back until January 6-7th ! The team is delivering their cases of oranges in the next couple of days, and we have threatened him about lifting too much - hope he listens !!

All's well that ends well

Landon arrived back in Ontario at about 11:45 last night. The flight was uneventful, and he got pushed in a wheelchair through both airports. He didn't have a very good night, as his bed was NOT as comfortable as his dad's recliner. It will be good to have these next two weeks over, and then have him home for a WHOLE MONTH !

Hernia Operation

Landon had a inguinal hernia repaired today. After a very very long day waiting at the hospital, all went well, and he is recovering here at home. Hopefully he'll feel up to traveling home Sunday evening.

Fun on Thanksgiving Day

We had a great day -

Football in Ontario

Ontario High School - Home of the Tigers




Landon is good friends with Jose Garcia, a teammate who lives in Ontario Oregon. Jose's brother plays football for Ontario High, and last Saturday night they went to watch the semi-final playoff game with a rival team. Landon commented on how much he had enjoyed HIS football playing days at Morgan High:)

Landon Rich #21

A Funny Thing Happened........

One night while Landon was out selling cases of oranges, he was invited into a home where about 15 people were obviously having a Christian bible study class. After apologizing for interrupting them (they said no problem), he proceeded to sell four cases ! Then they asked him if he would like to join them in studying James 1:5, to which he responded, "Oh, yea.. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not and it shall be given". He said jaws dropped, and eyes popped and THEN they asked where he was from.... When he said, UTAH (with a big smile), they quickly turned the subject to the Disney movie CARS....

I guess they figured conversion was NOT an option :)

Wahoo !!!

Landon called last night about 10 pm, and he finally got his 60th case of oranges SOLD ! Many thanks to Jose Garcia, a good friend and teammate, who after selling his OWN 60 cases, offered to help Landon finish HIS. Now maybe they can use their charming sales personalities to help Jon Keller (Landon's roommate) who is struggling with His sales:)

Looking forward to.........

THANKSGIVING, when Landon will be home in good old Morgan for FOUR WHOLE DAYS. Hopefully he can catch up with all of you at some point.

Moving indoors

The Chukars haved moved indoors for the winter, and have stepped up their weight lifting program, hoping to "bulk" the young men up for Spring.

Oranges anyone ?

The TVCC baseball team has been working on their annual orange sale. They canvass the entire town of Ontario, Oregon with cases of oranges, and are almost always welcomed with open arms (and wallets). Landon has only had the door slammed in his face ONCE, and his non-member teammate jokingly told him that this would prepare him for his future mission :)

Great weekend at Home !

It's always great to get together with the cousins

College Classes at TVCC

It seems all we talk about is baseball.... but Landon IS attending college also :)
During Fall/Winter quarters he is/will be taking English (writing), Psychology, History (western civ.), and Algebra, along with weight training and baseball. He'll save Biology and MORE math for spring quarter. He is doing well, and keeping his grades up. We are proud of him !

Landon is coming home THIS weekend

He will get here on Thursday and leave to go back on Sunday. He can hardly wait to see Treyson walking, and Manda's and Camryn's new home

10 hours - 100 innings

What a day ! Start time - 8 AM with fog so thick, you couldn't see the outfielders. Each Chukar pitcher threw 18 outs. The pitching was also supplemented by a pitching machine, throwing nothing but sliders. Each player had approx. 30 at bats..... starting with a 1-1 count. Players rotated positions, and were allowed a half hour lunch break. It was once again Blue vs Orange, and once again, the Blue team came away with the win. The team will now move to their indoor practice facility until after the first of the year. It was a GREAT fall season - and we can hardly wait till SPRING !

From Landon : Thanks again to everyone who supported me in my fundraising efforts. Friends and family, former coaches (little league and high school) Grandmas and Grandpas, Uncles and Aunts, Cousins, Morgan 6th & Morgan 10th (singles) ward members, Morgan High Baseball parents, and my "second" moms and dads - you know who you are !! I love you all !
