There’s No Crying In Football!

Or maybe there is when you middle son makes a huge hit and drives the ball over the end zone, to make the game winning touchdown!!!  (bear with this bragging Mother!) This leaves Grandma and Mom in tears on the sideline!

Football is officially over (yeah, there was much rejoicing) but I have to say it was a great year for all three of my boys.

Getting Ready

You don’t want to get in #12′s way!
Getting the Tackle

He was all concentration and made a good captain this year.
Middle Son

He was the team’s kicker and second string quarterback . Here is Middle Son (#12) making the points after (in pop warner they are worth two points instead of one).

MIddle Son Field Goal

My oldest son was an animal on the field. These two guys could not stop #80!

Oldest Son being Tackled

Here he is again, sneaking around the guys. Go #80!
Going for a tackle

The face of victory never looked any better.
Joy

Youngest was practicing his Heisman pose.
Striking a Pose

But once he is in the game, it is all seriousness.
Deep in Thought

It only seemed fitting that we had to sit in the rain during the last football game, since during the first game of the season we sat in pouring rain.
Football in Rain

It was a good season. Youngest son got his first interception, middle son scored his first touchdown, and my oldest just plain hit hard and kept the opponents on their behind. Great work boys.

  1. It sounds and looks like you had a fantastic season! Although I can relate to also being glad the season is finished and begin waiting for the next one! I feel the same way during soccer season! :-)

  2. I don’t really know anything about American football except what I’ve seen in movies. In Oz we call it Gridiron. But when I mentioned the name to an American friend of mine he said he never heard it called that before. He did tell me that it was a name of an actual play in the game, or something…lol?

  3. Oh yeah! We gotta love football, esp. when our boys are the stars! We have one more game to go (so maybe one more post on football for me).

    Just have to share–my son said something the other day and I said, “can you repeat that?” He looked at me with pen and pad in hand and said, “No way, you’re not putting that on the blog.” I said, “But you make great writing material.” I had to agree not to put what he said on the blog but have it in my journal. Do your boys tire of being used for blog posts?

    I agree you were allowed the tears! Awesome way for him to end the season. Congratulations to your boys!
