Football season has come to an end!

This has been such a rough football season for William. He has suffered through a separated shoulder and a broken wrist, while managing to stay strong and play through those injuries. He was out for 2wks when he separated his shoulder, but was back in the game before the season actually started. He then broke his wrist making a tackle a little over a week after that. With the doctors "OK", and Will's persistence, we would "bubble wrap" the cast and add an ace bandage to protect other players. Besides all the pain he has had to endure, he managed to have a really good year. He made ALOT of one handed tackles, as well as assisted tackles. They recently took the cast off, but I think it was too soon. The doctor only kept it on for 4wks! So, as a precaution I went out and bought him a wrist brace to help keep it supported while he is playing football. The team made it to the playoffs, but we lost 13-0, ending the year in 4th place. Wow...what an exhausting season! These pictures were taken before his injuries. I have over 1000 pictures to go through and edit for the team and don't have any edited yet showing him playing football with his cast. Mykela has been around football since a baby, she has watched her brother play and loves it. She has watched him from the sidelines, been included in the exercises and after game huddles, and always cheers him on proudly. The two of them go outside and can play football together for hours. Mykie was old enough this year to play flag football. Josh, William, and I were so excited she wanted to play. I was even more excited to see that there were a lot of little girls playing on all of the teams! She did great! She made one touchdown, but didn't understand the concept of grabbing someones flag. We are not supposed to really keep score, but we still kept track of it and her team was undefeated this year! They tied with one team and we are playing them on Monday at the Beach Bowl. I'll keep you updated on the score. How funny is this picture? Everytime I look at it I just laugh!! I showed this picture to Mykie and asked her what she was doing here. She gives me this crazy look and says, "what does it look like?" " I was blocking that kid, he wasn't gonna go no where!" haha...
