Football and soccer ...

A little stretching before the game

Breaking through the tackle in time to "sack" the quarterback

Striding to go get the ball

Getting to kick off after the other team scored ... I caught her in mid air along with the ball

Well today kicked off our Saturday routine of one football game and one soccer game.  It was a good day.  Beautiful weather with great clouds that threaten the rain but never came.  Many opportunities to cheer the kids on ... but alas the Parker kids came out with a loss each.  Jack played hard and enjoyed being out there once again.  The team only had two practices before this game, so there is still time to gel as a team.  They were only out scored by one touchdown!  Molly had her first official team game EVER.  She only had one practice ... yesterday ... before her big game.  She does not know any of her teammates but is doing really well at getting right in there.  She had a SMILE the size of Texas the whole game.  She said after practice last night that that was the most fun she has had in a really long time.  I think we have won her over to team sports.  She was aggressive in the game and was not afraid to get in there and fight for the ball.  It was a grand day and Kyle really enjoyed Molly's game because he got to sit on the sidelines and WATCH ... no coaching this team!  (FYI ... Molly's coach's name is Coach Little ... too funny!)  Here is to a victory next week, but if not .... here is to a lot of fun and many smiles.
