{Giggles} Elijah's First Team Sport: Football!

Okay, so our family has finally entered the world of "organized sports"...and I use the term "organized sports" VERY loosely. Elijah's team is a group of 6&7-year-olds ready to run and play their little hearts out, but not as ready to absorb offensive play plans as some of their challengers, which is maybe why we won ZERO games this year, but in my opinion our little guys are the cutest and most carefree kids out there...and they are having a BLAST! So we throw the dream of an undefeated season out the window and watch our little man hustle in every play, cheer for his teammates when he's stuck on the sidelines, and have an awesome attitude after every game that he knows they "didn't win". Avery and I were both shocked and impressed with Elijah's great sportsmanship and we couldn't be more proud of his winning attitude and the way he gave it his all and had fun.

First game of the season

Sometimes Elijah's best little buddy Conner gets to come home with us!



Ava loves to run and play with Conner's little sister Kendal

& Lily entertains herself  by digging through daddy's wallet...
or Conner's mom's purse!

The cheering section!

One PROUD little boy!

Elijah: You did so great at football, I am so impressed with how you handled yourself every game, you are turning into quite the little man! I can't wait to see you how you enjoy baseball this spring and even though there are no pictures of daddy I want you to know he was there at EVERY game and EVERY practice, he even helped fill-in for coaches a couple times...He was your biggest fan and it showed by the way he watched every play waiting for your "big moment". One of my favorite things you said all season was when you took a pass to the head and after the game came up to me exclaiming "Mommy did you see me block that pass with the back of my head?!"
