First 7th Grade Football Game

The anticipation leading up to finding

out which football team was bigger

for Mom and Dad than Walker!  LOL!

He felt pretty confident where he 

stood but since we had not seen him

play in 7th grade, we didn't know.

Of course it didn't matter which team,

but we still wanted to know.

He made the Red A Team!!!

I loved his answer...

"Red All Day"!!!

Scrimmaging Midway Blue  :)

My boy looked so big to me out there!!!

Go Midway!!!!!!!!!!!

Hudson and Hank!  LOL!

The first scrimmage was FUN

especially with all the little sisters there:)

before the boys got divided into teams!

It looked like an awesome

first scrimmage to me:)

Two of my faves coming off the field...

They are so handsome!

Walker was #16 in his 

practice jersey...

Walker texted me this on his 

first Game Day from class:)

He now had his official game jersey ~

#80 just like his Daddy was in high school!

Red's first official game was HOME!

That's Zach, Walker and Peyton lined

up on the left for the kick off team!!!

Let's Go, Boys!!!!!!!!!!

Walker was on the Kick Off Team, Punt

Return, and Starting Defense as the Safety.

#80 has my heart!

Grandmother, PaPa, Lynna and 

Travis came to support our boy!

The team we played had this one

kid who was AMAZING!

Like crazy good, scored every one

of their touch downs.

It was THE longest game in the history

of Midway 7th grade football!!!
We thought it was never going to end!

It went on and on and on

and Hudson was not feeling good!

Plus we were losing our first game!
All because of that one crazy good player!!!

We almost came back for the "W"

but still fell short.  Both teams

played really well!  

So excited for this season!!!!!!!!!

LOVED this text from Kelli G

one morning when she and her girls

drove by morning practice!!!

An E-mail from Walker's Teacher...

Getting an e-mail like this beats making

the A-Team, the honor roll, whatever.

This, right here, 

 could not make me more proud.  

STORM

After MUCH thought, deliberation & prayer,

we decided to let Walker try out 

for a select baseball team for the fall.

We knew that the competition level

in little league was about to drop

considerably and that if Walker

wants to try to play baseball in high school,

that we needed to bite the bullet and 

give him a chance at select.

The competition is FIERCE

and tryouts were tough for

Walker since he hasn't ever played

select before...and then

 with having to wait to 

find out if he made the team!

Walker chose STORM

and it's the only team he wanted 

to try out for...so we had a lot

riding on these tryouts!!!

Troy and I were so pumped 

when the coaches finally 

posted the roster!!!

Here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO proud of this boy!!!
He worked really hard to make this

team and now he's gotta work

even harder!  I think it's awesome

and even moreso I think
this kid is awesome!!! :)

Go STORM!!!!!!

First Midway Home Game

A teacher friend sent me this

during the day!  Loved it...

Go Midway! 

Midway has started a new program

called the "Panther Pack" for 

kids in elementary.  They can 

join and run out before the players

at every home game.  

Huds was SO pumped over this!!!

My two favorite Panther Pack members!

Brandy's sweet precious angels...

with my sweet precious angel:)

Huds is so obsessed with the football

players ~ recording their every move

on his little iTouch!

Hadlee loves taking care of little ones:)

We had such a fun night!
