Grace vs Lighthouse

Game #2
We headed to Twin Falls to play Lighthouse Christian School

 Waiting for the coin toss
The ever cordial hand shakes

 Favorite picture of the this game!
At this field the bleachers are 2 feet from the field and as much as I love to watch Josh play I don't love hearing the up close and personal helmet to helmet, pads crunching, groans and the wind getting knocked out of them when they are tackled.  Josh jumps up like no big deal, I would be carted out on a gurney!

Takes 4 guys to take Josh down and they are all twice his size.


Love watching my boy play!!

Grace vs North Gem

Last year Grace moved to 8 man football which is a little different to get use to. The boys all did an amazing job adapting to the switch and the team went to State.  I am so excited that I get to watch Josh play and hope they can get to State again this year.  

I love watching Josh play football and the transition that he made from hiding behind the bushes so he wouldn't have to go to practice to being the first one asking his coach to go back in even though he is hurt. Maybe the bootcamp punishment I gave him helped;)
Josh is one of the smallest kids on the team. Though he is one of the smallest he is also one of the strongest and quickest. His positions are RB and LB. It is amazing to see Josh take on kids that are a foot taller then him and weigh twice as much without a single ounce of fear. For home games Josh is #2 and away games he is #12. Long story short, another player lost his home #12 jersey and we all know how boys are with THEIR numbers.  

First game of the season we played North Gem at home and won!

 I have learned this is his 3 point stance

 The big kid trying to take down my boy...

 Nice try, Josh is still on his feet and a little shove to the face for big kid trying...


I did not take my camera to the varsity game but Josh also played in that game and did amazing.  The next Monday at work everyone was talking about how impressed they were with Josh.
