And We're Done!

Last Saturday was the last football game of Landon's season. While he has loved playing football and it has been fun watching him, it has been super time consuming and we're thrilled to be done! I've been shuttling him to practice 5 days a week since August! I ended up meeting one his teammate's moms and we started carpooling, but even with that help it was a daily errand that took 30 minutes round trip for me and 2.5-3 hours practice time for Landon. Now it feels like we've been given a great gift of extra time in our days...I may even make dinner!


Back to last Saturday's game, this is a shot of Randy walking over to my side of the bleachers before the game started. We were facing the sun which wasn't pleasant, but the view of the mountains was worth it.


This was their 3rd time playing on the Lehi High School field (which is the nicest field they played on) so it felt like a fun, official field for their last game.


Action shot!


I found plenty to look at between plays.


After the game a bunch of parents took some team photos at the same time so we ended up with the boys looking every which way, but Landini is front and center.


Landon has a fan club! These two cheerleaders came to the game and cheered for all the boys but gave Landon several shout outs from the stands. I know them from school and think it's funny that they're so chatty with me, the one on the left has said to me, "You should talk to him about me!"


It was cute.

Oh you are in so much trouble! Landon is a cute kid and the girls have already figured it out! Good luck.

Cam finished his football last week and I couldn't be more happy about it.

That is cute that Landon has his own cheerleaders! Luci and Griffin just finished cross country and it was bittersweet for me-- so relieved to be done driving so far but I will actually miss the meets.

Thank you for your comment on my blog and you are so right, prayer has definitely helped and I appreciate that reminder. Our youth leaders at church have been helpful to me too. I feel like I don't know what I am doing all of a sudden with a pre-teen!

Hooray for happy endings! I think it's adorable that Landon had a fan club. He deserves it.

The one on the left is a really cute girl, very sweet! Guess you can say that I actually know her and her family.

Can't believe that football season is coming to an end. Feels like the school year just got started.

We have two more weeks of football, and I'm actually feeling a little stressed about having all that time back! What's up with that?

Landon is so handsome. I hope he has enjoyed the football season. Jack has learned so much more from football than i ever would have imagined!

I love that Landon has a fanclub--he is such an all-around darling and awesome kid! It's only going to get bigger.

Congrats on your newfound freedom. I am always so excited to start my kids into things, and then even more excited to be done with them.

Is he going to play again next year?
