The football season has begun and even though there are a million hours of practicing, and the boys don't get home and in bed anywhere near their regular bedtime, I have to admit that it's really fun. I mean, I actually enjoy watching Cole get into it! It's very exciting! Colten has been in love with football since he could walk. When we brought Sam home from the hospital, our gift to Cole was a toy football helmet with a matching football. He was outside for hours knocking Joe down! He was so little and just threw himself at Joe! I loved watching him get so excited about it, and I see that same excitement now. With other sports, he gets into it, and he really likes it, but he's been waiting for the football season to start, and now it has!
He's #44 - the one running.
The little kids keep cool with junk food while Cole sweats out on the field.
Joe is so happy to be able to help coach the defense. It's quite a time-consuming job! He really focuses all he has on his team, but his coaching style is so great. He's really positive with the kids and always asking them if they're having fun and giving them hi-5's. I can tell the kids really like him and even though he's pretty loud and intense, they really respond well to him and they're all having fun.
I love watching them in the huddle - when the coach gets them all worked up! Cole's face is very focused!
One game was so dang hot that Jake and Jack took turns pouring water over their heads. That would usually get them into a fight, but it was so hot that the cold water was exactly what they wanted. Jake was down to just a diaper by the end of the game after all that water!
The team hasn't lost a game yet, but the coaches all feel a lot of relief when the game is over!
That's Joe giving one of the kids some inspirational advice.
Go #44! Hit 'em hard!
