Final Thoughts on a Great Football Season

In August, I posted about the beginning of the season and that I'm proud of my boy, football or not.

In September, I wrote about lessons learned from the sidelines and then about the joy of finally getting into a game. (click the links to read those posts if you missed them)

The weeks have gone by quickly and as of yesterday the season is officially over. Bear with me for one more football post.

After a lot of hard work, dedication, blood, sweat and tears the boys made it to the conference championship. That game was yesterday.

This was my facebook status yesterday afternoon and I think it says all that needs to be said:
25-0 loss. Disappointing end to an otherwise great season. We'll focus on the greatness...6-1-1 season, won the semifinal and made it into the championship game. Great coaches, great players, great teamwork, some really great games, great effort and great support! Way to go,Huskies-you've come a long way since that 1st practice Aug 1st...Next year!!

My boy is sad the season is over, sad the championship was lost, but so thankful for the opportunity to play and he's already geared up for next year.

quite possibly Rocklin's biggest fan and definitely his most dedicated practice partner.








This just might be our 2011 Christmas card picture. It contains all five children, all of them are dressed (sort of, I won't mention the fact that Parker's wearing a pair of his brothers boxers and soccer socks instead of pants), and they are all looking in the right direction with no grumpy looks. Yep, definately a winning picture.
