Our First Game!
Yeah!!! Ok at the Flag level in Pre-K/Kinder, standings are not kept. But we WON the game, it was 26-22!!!! I have posted some pics, Friends only!
The boys did a wonderful job! One kid just joined the team LAST NIGHT and he did great too. We may not have 4 coaches, names for Offense & Defense teams, or special names for our plays. But our boys played hard today.
We go back to practice Tuesday and will work more on our weaknesses.
We will work on Team Work.
We will work on staying focused.
And try to keep all of them fired up for the next several games!

Updates
So Saturday Morning 5:34am, I am up...We have practice in 2 1/2 hrs. I am running through last nights practice in my head and thinking 'what can we do different?' Wait let me back up!!!!
Monday my mom & dad came in town, and we had dinner it was a nice surprise since we dont see them alot due to the work shcdules. I also found out I would have the schedule Tuesday, & we also had a Bye this week. Which means we get the week off. So we are practicing at what would be regular game time on Saturday.
Tuesday practice, it went good. We are learnign by trail and error, and what we need to focus on. I think the boys are doing great. They are all trying really hard and that is rewarding for all involved. Lisa came out & surprised me. It was nice having her & Ray there. Since our games are so early, I am not sure she will make them. So the practice was grat for her to show up.
Wednesday...I got to come home after work and spend some time with Ray & Logan, we all cooked dinner that was really nice!
Thursday...I dont think I stopped until 9:00, I was suppose to attend a baby shower after work in Bedford, but had to cancel due to practce, but we moved practice to Friday, I had a meeting to attend at the school at 6:00, then I had to drive back to downtown and pick up football uniforms, this took longer than I thought...I had never done it so I had no idea what to expect. It was 8:15 before I got home, as I was walking the door the guys were going to bed...
YEAH!!! Friday....We had practice last night, played 'mock games' put 1/2 the kids in white tanks to have 2 teams to try running plays. They are showing improvement already. The Team Mom got the drink/snack schedule all worked out for the games. That is a huge help. We are going to ask about an end of season party.
So this brings me to today....I have been up since 4 putting things in my mind of what to work on today....how to get all 12 heads in the game at one time. I have confidence in us we can do it. So is this getting in my blood. As soon as we get in the truck I as Ray. So what do you think? How are we doing? Maybe it is in my mind more being Coach Momma, and not just mom watching her son. I would not change this time for anything. Logan is having fun, and doing pretty good about seperating Mom from Coach. I cant wait until next Saturday for the 1st game!
I am going to try to get some pictures at practice and post.
I want to thank all of you who have shown support for me doing this, weather it is you cards in the mail - yes I got it, and Logan loves 'his' football card - your kind words of support, coming to practice, coming to the games, or even buying raffle tickets to help my boys get to play in the Carmichael Game at the UTA Maverick Staduim. Thanks again...Oh and thanks to my Cheerleader at work...you lead them all good or bad, I will pull the positive energy from you!!! Evil will turn to good.

Crazy-Ness
So this week has been nuts, with work, football, Logan having some behavioral issues, and LIFE...it has been insane.
I am beat...this will be a long football season. I know when it comes down to it I will be glad I did this, and if i do it next year then I may have a chance ot have things more organized. But right now it is crazy.
I posted a new album titled Scrapbooking. I put pics of the pages I have done. It is fun. But my DAMN CAMERA flash is out so the pictures are not that wonderful...thank goodness for editing ability.
Let me know what you think!

Just Call Me *****
So it all started with a phone call Friday Night. As crazy things usually do.
Hey we don't have a coach for the football team so we are looking for volunteers…Does anyone see where this is going???
So Saturday morning, I went to the Hut and signed up to be an Optimist with the Optimist Club of Arlington, not really sure what that all means, but it also means I can sign up to be involved with the kids. So I also filled out the form to be COACH!!!
Fastforward to Monday, (today), I got the call about 10:20am, it is official. I am the Head Coach of the Flag Football Team. NowI am going to preface the season right now...I am not going to be posting any team info. If you know me then you know the team we are. I will only be listing game times. Sorry folks too many crazies out there and too many babies to protect. I will not be posting any pics of other kids either.
I am excited about this new venture. Scared, but excited. Just keep in your prayers and thoughts. Oh yeah I will be working with 4-5 yr olds!
