Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
The Falcons triumphed again 29-7. Officially 4-0 in their league. Another impressive game. #55 was *this* close to a touchdown twice today. Another wide open pass that was thrown a little behind him so that he could not make the clean catch - when there was NO ONE but one defender who he had already... Continue Reading →
Off to a strong start again. Here's the only (bad) photo I took all day! He was getting his shoes taped at warm ups. He likes to have the velcro part taped down so he wont have to fiddle with it during the game. Or, he just likes having something taped up 🙂 This board... Continue Reading →
Short and to the point tonight because I have to be up at the field tomorrow from 7-5 for Spirit and Picture Day. Largest fundraiser for pop warner. As an update to SportsBoy's playing time issue - he told me Teusday after practice that he had "tried really hard". I looked at him with that... Continue Reading →
8-6 victory thanks to a defense that played with some intense heart at the end. Thanks to some key long pass plays and then some pure speed. Thanks mostly though to the steady nerves and strong leg of our team's kicker. Oh, and probably some thanks to our special teams defense which jumped off sides... Continue Reading →
Today's game didn't count in the standings which is why I called it Week 0. Also, I know the tradition is to use feet in the header up there, but I really loved that picture of the boys holding hands as a team right before the kick off. Mine is #55 over there on the... Continue Reading →
Ok readers, you know the drill by now. For the next three months (hopefully four +) this blog will be taken over by pop warner football. Not entirely, but well, a lot 🙂 Because it's football season! The blog look has changed with the feet of the entire team picture at top and the flickr... Continue Reading →
That's all folks. My view from 11:30-5:00 on Sat and from 8-4 on Sunday. By the end of Sunday most of the racks were empty. Aren't you all so glad I share my oh so exciting life with you? Weeeeeeeeeee! For once I am saying Thank Gawd Its Monday!! Oh, and 2 more days! 2... Continue Reading →
Well, actually, this is a story about how lucky about 17 kids are. Because for two years in a row they shared a remarkable run with a football team coached by The Greatest Youth Coach Ever! Hyperbole? Perhaps, but when all the families say that, and we've all had more than one child go through... Continue Reading →
So the increased blog traffic on one of my Pop Warner posts made me curious and I searched within WordPress on the Pop Warner category. Gee - guess who dominates that??? (blush) However, there was another post just within the past week with a report on an incident that occurred there this year. There was... Continue Reading →
Yep, that was it. Creamed. Shellacked. Stunned. Outplayed all around by an older team. A true Division 1 squad stacked with 20 2-year players. Meaning lots of 11-12 year olds. We only have 3 12 year olds, a few 11s and mostly 10s and then 3 9 year olds. It showed. Experience matters. They knew... Continue Reading →
