so ever since kurtis has been in football, our lives have been scheduled around his practices, scrimmages and games. we've spent many hot evenings and nights watching football. don't get me wrong, it's been worth it and it's been fun. but realistically, our lives are Jenks Trojans Football right now. they even have the Trojan Preview. which if you are familiar with OU football, is similar to the Big Red Rally. i'm sure that other colleges do the same thing. kinda to show off all the players this year. well, in Jenks Football, there isn't just high school players. there are players from K-12. now the K-2nd graders (kurtis) are called the mighty mights. there are a little over 100 of them. then the others are divided by weight and grade. well, at the Jenks preview, all the players get to come out on the field and be introduced with their teams. afterwards, the high players come out and it's a huge deal here. lots of fun.
this is chuck and jared at the jenks preview.
kurtis and a few of his football buddies before the preview.
there is kurtis #50 with his friend. they sat along the fence getting high school players autographs. it was so cute! they look up to them so much.
this was just sat. sept. 6th. kurtis' 2nd game. it was also OU's 2nd game. so we are dressed for BOOMER SOONER!! check out jared and blake's hair!! yes, i used red hair gel. it's awesome. it went with the trojans and the sooners!!!
this is what jared does when you say "TOUCHDOWN!!!!!" so adorable!! we train them early in this family!!
there is kurtis, 4th in line from the right. he's waving to me. i think he has a football body. like he stands like them and stuff. he looks tough.

this is at the preview. oh i forgot. the cheerleaders start at Kindergarten too. so at each game there is a cheer group there to cheer on the players!! it's really cute. i don't necessarily agree that the girls should be doing that so early, but whatever. they came out on the field first and then made an isle for the football players. kurtis and his team was one of the first to bust out of the big helmet and run the field.

after the little guys came out, they closed the helmet for the high schoolers. that was a big deal man. the music started and all...and then they come busting out and all the little players have their hands out for high fives and are just loving it all.

So fun! I'm excited for when the boys are old enough to be going to their games and stuff. I love that stuff. Georgey is reading blogs with me and he said to say "Kurtis, I want your autograph." haha . . . I love jared's hair. He is getting soo big and looking so much like Blake! And I'm jealous that you got to see Dave. I love him!

Wow...football is way different down there. Love it! Kurtis looks like a natural football player. I can't believe they start so young...especially the cheerleading!

Ok so many things to comment on.
This is how sports work. Your life now revolves around Kurtis' football schedule. I am glad he is having such a good time playing and being involved with it. I totally agree that he is built and stands like a football player. If you got it...use it.
I am loving the new house. Hardwood floors and everything. The fireplace isn't that bad.
I am glad you guys are getting to do all the important things, like Sooner football games, and Dave Matthew's concerts!
Lastly your boys are all so cute! They have grown tons but man you really do a good job with those boys. Jared is super cute now. I am loving the touchdown arms in the air.
You all have an awesome day!
