Saturday Jamboree

Bears Defense

 After 16 hours of practices the day has come to officially start off the 2010 Football Season. Mercer Island High School hosted the event. I was there at 10:15 am. Players have to arrive 1 hour and a half before game time. Great. I was in for a long day.
Mind you this is my second year and I still have got much to learn about this sport. I will still take hockey any day.
So, a jamboree consist of half field play with teams playing both offense and defense. Bit took the field first. The other team scored and that was all it took. The bears refused to give up anymore points and did a hell of a job blocking and protecting the end zone. As a matter of fact, that would be the only point scored on the sophomores bears. Way to go. I was screaming and cheering. These boys may just do some great things this season.

No pics please!

Great job

 As time went on, Mathew arrived with Elijah. Yes back to back sessions my bum was tired of sitting on those bleachers. I still had another 4 hours to go. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get pictures of the little Rookies. They were posted up on the other side of the field.
By 3 o'clock I had had it. I told Elijah I was proud of him and went home. It was nice that Matt took the boys and went for ice cream so I could come home and rest. Elijah's team scored a touchdown. Yet it was clear that they looked confused out there.  No worries two weeks until the 1st game counts.

The 29th McKenzie and his team are having another jamboree at Husky Stadium located at UW. How exciting. Is the season over yet?

Football Season has begun

Elijah at practice

 So football season has officially started and having two boys play the same sport has defiantly added some major stress. This is McKenzie's second year and of course, the coaches cannot believe how tall he is and his baby fat has gone. Well when your 10 and 5'5" what do they expect.

Stop taking pictures mom!

 McKenzie has shown a great deal of focus thus far. I hope it continues. I am so happy that most of his team mates from last year have returned. The jamboree should be fun.

I am still very hesitant about Elijah and his leg playing but as I am reminded by Mathew and Elijah.... Let it go mom. I will be fine.
I guess baby's do grow up.

Hustle up!

He is so tiny......
