A Better Morning

Another Saturday another football game.  Actually we had a nice break over the holiday weekend and with another couple practices under his belt Brayden was feeling a little more confident.  I woke up sick to my stomach, after the last game I really did not want him to be pummelled for four long quarters.  If anyone was at our house they would think I was crazy, aside from pumping the house with music I did everything I could to pump him up for the game.  It is always a long morning, having to arrive an hour before the games....today Brayden was worried about weigh in, as some of the boys had to take off their pads.  I told him he had nothing to worry about!  Turned out they had a great game, they still lost but actually did score a touch down.  Brayden had his head in the game and was out to block and tackle-at one point he was hanging on by a shoe but still pulled the guy down.  I think I am turning into that crazy side-line mom....it comes out with any sport but sounds horrible with this one in particular.  I find myself yelling to bring the other guy down...hit him...take him down---Crazy!  James is well taken care of by the cheerleader girls which made  Becca a little jealous.  Andrea was just tired and hungry having exhausted herself on the high jump pads.  We all missed Ron who was having to drill this weekend.

I just love this age!  This was one of Brayden's team mates during half time.  HUGE BONUS  60 degree temps this morning.  A huge change from triple digits just a couple days ago.
