Football Season

 

Football season has begun! Landon has been going to daily practices for weeks but tonight was the big fundraising kick-off event.

We could choose between Chick-Fil-A or JDawgs for dinner and we ate in the school cafeteria. I'm not very familiar with the high school (yet) so it was fun to be there surrounded by all the school memorabilia and by all the families, players and students. I know so many of them of them from the junior high that it's fun to feel like a part of the community.

 How cute is this picture?!

We'd never been to this event before so we didn't realize we would be spending so much time on the bleachers...we were ill prepared (i.e., no tush cushes) with only folded up blankets to sit on. We waited for a half hour before the game even started so we were already wrecked! The Memory Foam people really need to make stadium seats!

It was a beautiful evening (which was amazing considering it had been raining like it was the end of the world just a few hours before) so the view was lovely while we waited. It was really something to sit and look at the mountains and the temple from the bleachers--gorgeous!

We were so excited to see Landon as part of the Sophmore football team! They don't have names on their jerseys this year so we were frantically searching for #84, woohoo!

Number 84 running into position looking schnazzy in his new football gloves and birthday socks.

We keep a look out for the red socks during the action so we know it's him.

Here he is all pro-like getting hydrated on the sidelines.

The post game walk across the field, so studly.

I love football and the excitement of all of it. I must carry some sort of insane school spirit type gene (from my mom's side, definitely not my dad's!) because it's all I can do not to rally the crowd sometimes. I love having everyone decked out the school colors feeling united in purpose. It's good times.
