Freezing for Football

In light of the blustery weather outside, I thought I would throw it back to one of my favorite nights this year.  We have spent most Friday nights since 2006 at the high school.  Some of those nights have been spent coaching and some of them have been spent with my littles on the sidelines.  This past season was one of my favorites since I got to embrace the littles and not coach.  Deciding not to coach was bittersweet for me.  I love the girls, but I love my littles as well.  I had to choose between the two, for the sake of time and my sanity.  It was unbelieveably difficult to walk away from those young ladies and I have missed them tremendously.  

This one especially.

Love her.

But being a mom and aunt has its perks too...

Sweet lord at the crazies...

and it is beautiful to see these two things merge...

Seeing the girls love my littles is precious beyond description.

School begins

Football season came and went.

We spent the first part of the season in shorts...

...the last part of the season bundled up like eskimoes.

And I got to hang out with this handsome fella and perform CPR and basic first aid.

I can attempt to help save your life in the event that I'm not in a major panic about it...

Fuzzy pictures

I enjoy football season once it gets cold enough to be football season.

I have enjoyed coaching cheerleading for the past 7 years.

I will miss the relationships I am able to build with the girls during that time.

I will not miss the time away from my family.

I will not miss the scramble of finding childcare.

But I will miss being able to spend those Friday nights with Daryk and his boys.

I love that man.

Sad day for Gator fans

It was a sad day in Gator Nation because they lost.

Clearly we are not heartbroken.

Daddy worked the game for CSC and got to watch from the sidelines.

We had pizza for dinner and flipped between the game and Disney Junior.

It. was. awesome.

Sweaty Football Games

Y'all... it was about 90 degrees and about 9000% humidity.

Notice baby girl's fantastic sweaty hair.

Out of control.

It was so hot and the sun was in our eyes too.

But nobody was terribly injured and we managed to survive our first football game!

He got a jump start on his sugar rush with a blue cupcake. 

It was Alix's birthday and she brought icing to share with us, so sweet!

I think he enjoyed it?
