As we head into yet another weekend, it feels strange to me that football season is over for my boys. I’ve been to countless games over the last few months, not one Saturday without one. How odd that tomorrow there won’t be a game and we’ll have to wait until next August to get all geared up again. It was a heart pumping season, and if you read my post last week, you know that my 12 year old’s team won the division championship and marched proudly into the Super Bowl last Saturday.
While they didn’t win the title, they played a Helluva game and I couldn’t be more proud. The score was 0 to 0 all four quarters. The other team didn’t score until the last two minutes of the game.
The final score was 0 to 8 and our team was given a huge trophy for Super Bowl runners up.
Each boy received an individual trophy as well as personalized dog tags commemorating the date and accomplishment.
Above – 3 of my 4 kids – my daughter, Kristen (15), son, Tracy AKA TJ (12), and youngest Dominic (10).
The event leading up to the game were lots of fun. Everyone met in the parking lot of the park where the boys usually practice. Everyone lettered up their cars and we all drove down to the game together, tooting our horns at every stop light.
This little guy was one of the best cheerers (word?) all season. Always yelling and hollering out his brother’s name. He made this fun bull horn to cheer through. Isn’t he cute??
This is me (on the right, with the double chin, UGH) and Colleen, our fabulous team mom. She rocks.

Thanks for sharing, Amanda! (I thought maybe you didn't get my email.)
I'm glad to hear that though they didn't win they played like champs the whole game!

Congratulations! How exciting for the little one :0
oh what a cute family post and a proud momma love it
We just wrapped up our football season too and I was just thinking how weird it is not to have something scheduled for tomorrow. I guess I'll have to bake. Congrats on a great season!
I miss the football days! My step-son played all through high school and now that he's 20, I still miss going to the Friday night games!
Have an awesome weekend!
Congrats to your son's team! Such nice pics to have. My son wants to play football next season. He is 10 and he has suddenly developed a love for all things football! How did the booksigning go? Did you get to meet Ree?
Woohoo, go Bulldogs! What a fun post!
