Some might say this…..
Which I agree with!
But I’m thinking it’s more like this:
Winning a Championship…..hard work,dedication and perseverance.
Praying after the game and a season dedicated to the Lord?
Priceless!!!
Winning a Championship???
A fantastic run…
One of the opening plays of the game our son ran about 60 yards. It was a fabulous run. Here it is play by play…
We’re still reeling in the 32-16 victory!!
The trophy…
Big brother (middle guy) gets in on a little photo action…
Dad (coach) and son after the game…
It’s Official!
We won our Championship Game today in the 6-8 year old division. Our family has never won a championship! It was an awesome day with beautiful weather and a great win! Our middle son played a terrific game. The whole team is certainly blessed!!!
More later…
Football
I thought it was time for a few football photos. Last Saturday we had two playoff games. We won one and lost one. This coming Saturday our 8 year old will play for the Championship. We’re very excited!
Here’s our firstborn during their Saturday morning game. We lost by just a little!!! He was so sad. I felt badly for him because he eats, sleeps and breathes football.
Here he is again on the field. He’s #5.
Then we drove an hour in the other direction for our afternoon game. Now is this a beautiful place to play football or what???
Here’s our 8 year old right before kickoff.
Son and Dad (coach) after the game!
More to come!
My first OFFICIAL photo session
A family we go to church with asked me to take some photos of them this week. What began as a great day ended up as a cloudy evening. Although we did shoot that day we’re planning another day with a blue sky! Here’s one of my favorites from the shoot. The horse had just nuzzled the child in the photo and dad was laughing. The horses were really fun.
IN HIM,
Football antics
This is what the others do while the boys play football. Baby girl is the one in the dress.
Happy Friday!
A little Football….
It’s amazing how busy school has made our lives. I’m continually working on lesson plans to try to stay ahead of the game. But I’ve found if I work to far out I forget what I had planned that day. That is unless I have it all written down. And even then I sometimes wonder "Why did I write this?"
On brighter notes…our oldest son had a great game Tuesday night. Our 8 year old had one on Monday but I didn’t get to go to that game. I was home with the littler ones. Here’s a couple shots from "Lightening’s" game.
The hand-off (that’s him, #5 getting ready to run the ball)
Running the ball….
It’s really amazing to watch him do what he LOVES to do!
Hope you have a great weekend.
IN HIM…
Football and other stuff….
Well day two of school is accomplished and I have to admit I’m exhausted. I think most of it is emotional and I know things will fall into a routine but I’m not the happy, enjoying my children mother I want to be. School has gone well and I am enjoying that but afterwards I want to climb into a hole and recover until 8am the next morning.
I’m hoping God works all this out in me because I don’t like what I hear coming out of my mouth….lots of moaning and not much uplifting. I know the kids probably want to toss me out for a new mom. YUCK.
Just keeping it real guys, just keeping it real.
On other less depressing notes…..
Here’s a few great pictures of the kids playing around at our oldest son’s football practice the other night.
Oldest son…..
(who is that with that water bottle???? UGH!)
The race at the other end of the field:
“Whew mom, I beat my boys!”
On another note:

So that means you Dad, Sandy, Melinda, Mom, Andrea and Randy!
Always in Him…
