FOOTBALL UPDATES!

Justin's team is sturggling a bit lately. For one thing they have a small roster and their players keep dropping like flies! There are I think 23 kids on his team, almost half of which are first year players. They are all playing with alot of heart and working hard! They just seemd to be plagued with injuries. Aside from Justins finger I swear almost all of the kids have had injuries...last weeks game we had a huge scare when their main RB was taken away by ambulance...thank god he was okay and no broken bones....just beat up and bruised! But, they will hopefully come back strong this weekend and improve their record of 1-2-1. We are very proud of Justin and how strong of a player he has become. He plays EVERY down and fights tough all game. It's funny to watch my 75 pound kid TAKE DOWN kids 115 pounds!

Justin and the other 3 captains at the start of the game. I always love this part when they walk out holding hands (yeah, 12 year old boys holding hands!!) and take their helmets off for the National Anthem. It's just so Americana to me!! Justin QB #10
And Jakey Poo. He's finally coming into his own and is going to be a great little football player. As one of the very few 7 year olds out there he can hold his own. His team is currently 4-0 and will be playing the other 4-0 team tomorrow! So, everyone send good vibes onto to Mitey Mites Sunday!

Here's Jake on the Kickoff Team....
Okay, if you look closely at Jake you'll see he's holding h is thumb....wanna know why? see below.....
HE FRACTURED IT!!!!!!!!! He came out of the game after only 3 plays complaining his thumb hurt. Bad Mom me thinks it doesn't look THAT bad...a bit swollen and a bit bruised but think it will be fine in a couple days. Well, Wednesday rolls around, the guilt sets in that I never took him in for xrays, so we head up to his Doctor for Xrays. And, guess what? It's fractured on his growth plate! Good one, huh? I feel so bad! What kind of Health Tech am I?? Between his thumb and his mouth the poor kid has had a rough couple of weeks!
