Last night, the JV and Varsity boys had their practice and a little intersquad scrimmage that the parents were invited to watch. So, naturally, I showed up even though it was 900 degrees at six o'clock in the evening. I was glad I got to watch -- as most of you already know I love football and I am super excited that my son is playing. He changed positions a little this year and right now is slated to be a defensive lineman (guard -- I think...he stands to the left of the center.) I love watching football -- that doesn't mean I know the names of the positions. However, he did teach me the sign for the Stack 2 play, which I was SUPER excited about. Now, I just have to pay attn at games to see if the coaches call it!
It was a little hard to tell who was who while they were out there, but I did manage to get some shots of him during their practice. I didn't take any of the scrimmage part.
It still amazes me that he is old enough to be in high school. He looks so big in the pictures and yet he looks so little...*sigh* -- my baby's not a baby anymore!! :(

Taking a water break.
They took break about every ten- twenty minutes so they wouldn't die of heat strokes.
It was ridiculously hot in the stands. I can imagine what it was like in full pads out on the field.
Waiting to get some more water.
He's the one to the left of the little guy!
Getting ready to do his guard thang :) He is two spots to the left of the little guy in blue shorts.
Taking another break. They really did do more than just stand around -- I just didn't get shots of it!
Next Saturday, he has a scrimmage and I am pretty excited about that, too. I can't wait for cooler weather -- big sweatshirts, gloves and hot chocolate under the "Thursday Night Lights" -- it's the stuff Texas dreams are made of!! :) |

Aww! Ty is so grown up! I am actually excited about football this year. I think now that Ava is here, we might actually go tailgating. We have never been much into sports, but it seems like the family thing to do! :)
I was also going to let you know that your comments on my page won't publish automatically because I have to moderate them. That may be why you were having some trouble.
Tailgatinf sounds like soooo much fun -- especially at Alabama!!! I always wanted to do it when Ty was little and we were living in Lubbock, but just never did.
Also, thanks for the heads up on the comments. I feel ridiculous that I am finding it so complicated, lol!! BUt I am learning!
*tailgating* (I really need to get in the habit of proofing before I hit enter, lol!)
