One of the most enjoyable things about being a parent is getting to know your children as they grow older. Their likes and dislikes......discovering their talents and gifts.
Jackson has definitely developed a passion for football!
He absolutely LOVES going to practice. The only complaint I heard from him about practice was on a Monday or a Friday, when their wasn't practice!
He shares a similar passion with his cousin, Ilai. Whenever they get together, their first choice is always to throw the football back and forth! Here they are with their "game faces!"
Jack's nickname on the team was "Missle." Once he was got that ball and busted through the defense, there was no stopping this boy! He is FAST!
My favorite part of this season was to see a love of football develop in Chip! Who knew? I think Chip was more excited for the practices and games than Jack, if that's possible! Being able to be one of the coaches brought pure joy to him. On Saturday mornings, Chip would yell from his bed, "What day is today?!" And in a sleepy, yet strong voice, we'd hear Jack across the hall yell, "GAME DAY!!"
Chip pulled some strings and got some of the Boise State Broncos to come practice with the team!
What a highlight for these boys!!!

How fun is that!! Can't believe that Chip developed an interest in football, but it is amazing what happens when your kids are involved. Love the serious game faces. Love Jack's understated reaction when Pettis caught his pass. HATE that we are missing all of this.
Yay!! I have been wondering when you were going to post again. Jack is so cute, glad he is having fun!
