Football Season is officially under way


Jaiden is on the far right of his picture with his arm extended.

Delaney's Rams and Jaiden's Hurricanes officially started their season today. The Rams played the Eagles at 8am this morning. Unfortunately, they got slaughtered by somewhere around a score of 41-0. OUCH!! Delaney did a good job cheerleading though and she seemed to enjoy it. Jaiden's Hurricanes played the Raptors at 11am this morning as well. It was a complete mis-match. The Hurricanes failed to score but they played a tough Ironman game of football considering they only were able to field 7 players with no replacements to the Raptors playing 8 players with 4 replacements on the bench. I was a bit shocked that the Raptors coach didn't at least only play 7 to keep it fair but it is what it is. The Hurricanes played several downs during the game 6 on 8 due to already being 1 player short to field a full team and players running off due to "injury". Good thing they don't really keep score in flag football because it was UGLY!! Jaiden seemed to have fun though and he actually effectively blocked several bigger kids (They were all bigger) on the other team. He came to the line once, growled at his oppenent and said "You won't get past me" in his angry voice. The best part, the kid who dwarfed Jaiden in size couldn't get past him.

Flower Girl

We just got back from NC yesterday from Julie's cousins wedding (and just in time for Jaiden's first Flag Football practice). Delaney was the most beautiful Flower Girl ever. We didn't really get a chance to take many pictures but with any luck we'll be able to get some from others who did later on. Quinn handled the trip very well. She only got upset in the car once on the way down and once on the way back. Otherwise, she was good at the rehearsal and at the wedding / reception.
