Who'd of Thunk....

Having a teenage step-son brings out all sorts of thoughts in this lady.  This is my second season watching youth football, and MAN-O-MAN is it stressful.

Sitting on the sidelines watching these boys, who have TONS of talent being misused, has to be the most high-tension fun that I've had in a long time.  I absolutely love the emotions brought out on the football field, and watching them grow as a team! I never knew how much I would love football, but I'm so glad that I get to watch them year after year, and be a part of it!

On a side note, Tim was talking to Kenzie this past weekend about what sport(s) she wanted to play next summer.  She did participate in the St Francis (REC) softball league this summer, but it was the worst sports season that I've witnessed.  The teams were ranging in age from 6 to 9, and they didn't even teach them the rules of the game (pitch coach until you hit, no outs, and every batter batted every inning with the last batter automatically getting a 'home run').  He asked her if she wanted to play Fast-pitch Softball, or little league baseball... She JUMPED on the opportunity to play little league! So as soon as football season is done (three more games left), Tim, Kenzie and Gavyn will start getting ready for the upcoming baseball season!  I think the fact that she chose baseball makes the boys very proud!

Needless to say, I'm SOOOOOOOO unbelievably excited to watch Kenzie learn and grow with the sport, and watch another (hopefully GOOD) season of baseball!!!!
