Blue Men

At our lovely Mountain View High School football games the wrestlers dress up as the

Blue Men

as a way to show school spirit. Remember this is Arizona so although it is not super hot it is not that cold either. Usually it is only Seniors and occasionally Juniors that are considered and the Coach picks who gets to be the Blue men for the game and Dallin got to finally dress for success in BLUE! Don't you think the blue sets off his hair?


He is of course the 'S' in TOROS -

S for Smiley,

which is his nickname. Most of the kids and parents do not know his name is Dallin. He was christened Smiley the summer before his Sophomore year by the wrestling team because they went to a miserable camp, they had to camp for a week in the football field of a school in Colorado. It rained for 4 out of the 5 days. The food was terrible and they all lost like crazy. Not a fun camp, but through it all Dallin kept smilin', hence the nickname Smiley.Tate (the kid on the cliff) was the T and assorted other wrestlers fill in the letters. The boys do push-ups on a board held overhead when the team scores.At the end of the night instead of being able to shower - the paint clogs the drains - they had to hose off with the garden hose.

BBBRRRRR!! Dallin and Mason waiting for the team to come back at halftime doing an Irish jig. Wish I had the video camera with me!!

Dallin is a great son and I am sad/excited for him to graduate this year. His mission is not that far away, boy does the time fly!
