~~~Here he is again...The newest football player to hit the field.
~~~
~~~Much to our surprise & dismay,we weren't the only ones thinking of him this past Saturdayas he faced his first scrimmage game.This wasn't the only Blake fan in the stands either!Oh my, though she is a cutie and a sweetheart, I am NOT ready for this!!Nor is he!~~~
~~~The team gathered on the field,but he sat out the first few downs.He is the one with the name Hughes on the jerseysince his hadn't come in yet.~~~
~~~Then,they called his number...Thank God for the knee padsbecause I know his knees were knockin'!~~~
~~~Uh-oh...I braced myself.~~~
~~~so did he.He popped right back up for a couple more playslike nothing ever happened.~~~
~~~Then this rookie stood on the sidelines for a while~~~
~~~and waited...~~~
~~~and watched
~~~
~~~Would he get another chance?~~~
~~~~~
~~~Some of biggest fans waited patiently
~~~
~~~well, most of the time anyway!~~~
~~~Finally, the rookie was given another chance.
~~~
~~~He seemed more confident the second time around.Who knows if it was the fact that he now knew what to expect or...~~~
~~~or he knew his parents were there for him...~~~
~~~as well as this little guy....
~~~
~~~
However...I believe it could've had a little something to do with the new cheerleaders he suddenly had on his side!!!
~~~
~~~Yes, I believe that is the most reasonable explanation!!~~~
~~~Walker , his cousin & buddy,waited around after his game was overto cheer him on.~~~
~~~One last run,and it all comes to an end.~~~
~~~The gang makes it's way to the sidelines.~~~
~~~This rookie has had a lot to learn.There has been more to it than he expected but...a high five from one of the coaches....~~~
~~~a pat on the back...~~~
~~~a little refreshment...~~~
~~~~~
~~~& a few moments with his buddyand he was ready to do it again!~~~
~~~this new opponentwas a little more experienced...~~~
~~~but with a little help fromWalker, Alex, Kara, & Conner...~~~
~~~their opponent was brought to his old, worn out, torn up knees...but all with a smile!~~~
~~~It looks like turning 10 means a lot of new things for Blake.Some things we are ready for...some things we know we have a little time to adjust to...some things I will never be ready for...So, I guess, once again, it's all about the changes that are inevitable in a child's lifeand the struggle I deal with as a parentto love them as much as possible...cheer them on through the victories as well as the defeats...and prepare them to face each new phase of lifethe way God would want them to.I am so proud of his guyjust in case you didn't know!Love you tough guy!~~~~~There will be more to come.First game is this Saturday.Alex will be cheering her first Jr. Pro football gameanother first for the Conwell clan!You can bet I will be therecamera in hand to capture it all!Have a good humpday.
