Football is over.

Well we have survived our first year of football with many more years to come, I am sure. Actually the entire experience was Great! I would recommend it to anyone that is thinking of putting their child in football. The coaches were so great with these kids. There was such unity and friendship on the team. They won half of their games, which was pretty good. I know Joshua learned so much. He played so many different positions and was sad to see it come to an end. They had their banquet on Monday night. It was fun for them to all get together one last time. We went to Hires restaurant and they had all you can eat pizza and drinks. Then the coaches called up each kid and gave them their trophy(which Joshua was so excited to have his name engraved on it, all the other sports we have done so far are generic trophys). When they called up each kid the coaches each said something about them. I know it made all these boys feel very special. One of the coaches said in their opinion they thought Joshua was the most talented on the team because of how versatile he is, that he can play any position. He made the first touch down and tied with someone else for the most touch downs made during the season. They really built up these boys and made them feel like a million bucks! We were so lucky to be on such a great team with great kids! They asked my husband several times during the season to help out in coaching. He has been so extremely busy at work, that he was so sad to have to tell them no. But they have committed him to coaching next year. Football is his passion and I know he will be great, plus it will take pressure off me going to practices. Yea! One of Joshua's coaches also coaches competitive basketball and wanted Joshua on his team. So now we are gearing up for basketball. Oh and Joshua is #21 on the first row of the picture.
