The 2nd and 3rd Grade AFC Champions!

I have to share with you all how Payton's football season ended...


Final game (the Orange Bowl), and they were getting beat 12-7 with about 2 minutes left on the clock.  This was the first time all season that they were down.  They tried to run the ball.  First, second, and third downs unsuccessful.  


Now there was only 40-45 seconds left on the clock.  Payton was playing QB.  Fourth down play starts.  He throws a beautiful 20 yd spiral pass and the receiver actually catches it and runs it down for a TD with only 6 seconds left on the clock!  


I think I forgot to breathe during this play.  It was amazing!  The boys were so excited!  It was adorable.  I think Jon was just as excited as they were if not a little more!  He was as much fun to watch down on the field as the boys during all of this.  


Even with as many people that were there, we cannot find anyone who was taping it!  Bummer.  I had my camera and my video camera, but wasn't using it because I was so sad that they were losing.  Payton was a little upset with me at the end of the game because he wanted to watch the play over and over again.  I tried to explain to him that if he would have let me know the plan ahead of time, I would have been recording it!  :)

Youth Football Night

Last night was the Youth Football night at the Varsity game.  The boys LOVED going out in front of everyone in the stands and especially loved being able to make a tunnel for the Varsity boys to run through.  Payton is #7.

Can you tell that they are excited?

Waiting for everyone to be announced and make their way onto the center of the track...

It was fun to see all of the teams out there!

Not sure who the guys in the camo gear are... but Payton and Riley got a kick out of them!  Gotta love a High School Football stadium that is surrounded by corn and soy beans!  When the wind blows just right you can smell the cows from a nearby farm... reminds me of my high school days in Putnam County!

The youth teams went down to make a tunnel before the tunnel.  The Varsity boys went through and gave them hi5's before running through the big blow up Huskies tunnel.

Doesn't look like he had any fun, does it???  :)

Kenny Chesney - The Boys of Fall

This is such a good video!  Watch closely and you can see Kenny at Senior night at his high school with his mom and dad!

For those that have played football or been a part of football, this brings back awesome memories.

For those that want to play football, it's inspiring.

For those that just love to cheer on their children, it will bring tears to your eyes!
