Football

This fall Jacob started football.  He was so excited to do this.  Football around here is a serious commitment.  At first they practice five days a week for 2 hrs and eventually its three days a week two hours with a game on Saturday.  While the time commitment seemed daunting at first I found the entire program really fun for Jacob. He learned a lot about football (so did I) and made a lot of friends.  I loved to see that Jacob is very happy and self confident. He was willing to try new things and ran right out there even when he knew no one and just assumed he would do well and people would like him.  I hope he is always like that.

Rain or shine he was happy and smiling.

even in the snow…

Jacob made a game winning block and by the end of the season made real progress as a player. I was impressed how hard he worked to get better.

His team made the play offs when at the last minute someone ran for a touch down in overtime. Hailey was so thrilled she ran and gave him a huge hug. I love that picture.

 

They had fun even if they were out in the first round.

Sydney and Hailey deserve some praise for attended so many practices and every game.  They were his best cheerleaders for sure!
