FOOTBALL BABY!!

It is here! It is so football season. Not only does it mean the Broncos are playing (yeah, yeah I know not well) but it means that Jared and Hawks Royal are in the zone! I love to watch Jared play.

What do you really need for football season...WELL..since it WAS my birthday it was really a serious high tech camera...I so got it and LOVE it! I got some amazing pictures! OHHHH I am so excited wait until you see...yes I am a little giddy!

Just a little info on Jared! To his coaches surprise he has grown 7 inches since December...YES 7...He is the same height as me and is only 12. Jared is also lightning fast! Jared plays flanker and cornerback. Enough chit chat lets get to the games!

Hawks Royal played in a pre-season tournament this past weekend. To say we killed is an understatement.

For the weekend....Hawks Royal 94 points....Opponents (all together)14 ..... OUCH! Here are some of Team Marien's favorite recaps....Jared is 23

Jared just got passed the ball on a reverse

Jared is behind 7 who is ready to block for him

Still runnin'...did I mention it was 4th down

And that's how it's done! "Dude! That was awesome...Did you see them runnin' after you?"This was Jared playing corner on defense...That ball ain't going any further!
Tough to see Jared in this photo but if you look carefully the kid he was stopping...He just pulled him down on top of him. He is in front of 87...WOO HOO!

Ready for my favorite touchdown of the weekend! Again, lightning fast!!

Run Forrest RUN!!!

Hey Mom...I'm ready for my close up

OK boys chase after me...you too Ref

WOO HOO! Way to go kid! (I cheered after I stopped shooting)

For all you football fans: Jared's Stats = 3 touchdowns, 3-2 point conversions, caused one fumble, won two awards from coaches

Another Delaney-ism

It was the second week of school and Delaney is all full fledged first grader. It is a Wednesday and Delaney finally gets out of bed and comes downstairs for breakfast. She is happily eating her breakfast (slowly) and I tell her when she is finished she will need to go upstairs and get dressed. She looks at me STONE COLD and says, "WHY?" I look at her and say, "...because you have to go to school soon and we need to finish getting ready." Again stone cold and DEAD SERIOUS..."I'M NOT GOING TO SCHOOL!" I look at her again trying to hide my smile because she is super cute and respond with a head tilt and she says in a very firm mommy voice..."I NEED A BREAK!" At this point it takes everything in my inner being to not die with laughter but I say, "Honey you will get a break on Saturday." Delaney responds with, "That is TOO far...I'm tired." and stomps upstairs...

FUNNY! First grade is definitely an adjustment!
