football

we are so not a sports orientated family.

we've just never really gotten into sports.

and so i think its kinda funny that a few of the girls have ended up dating

guys that are into sports.  

guys that actually play the sports.

for a short time, when laura was still a high schooler, she was seeing one of the star

football players. 

and now, for the past year, lisa has been dating a football & basketball player.

even though we homeschool, the girls have known many

of the players in both basketball and football. 

and so for several years now they've attended most of the games. 

this past football season many of our family members went to most every home game...

yes, for entertainment, but also in support of lisa's guy.

i think its cute that he gave her a football jersey of his

and she would wear it to school on game days.

and then there was homecoming week in school.

most of it is new to us since we've home educated for so many years.

but lisa has had lots of fun with all the school traditions.

there was a mismatched and wear your hair in a funky style day, a jersey day, a school spirit day, a neon colored day, and a camo day. 

very interesting and fun memories!

the next pictures were taken during the homecoming game.

i think most of our family went to that game.

it was an exceptionally nice and warm evening that night, which is pretty unusual in october around these parts.

the team played well, very well, all season - but they didnt do so well the night of their homecoming game.

it was their first loss and it was a big disappointment for them.

but they did their best - and life goes on. 

and now football is over - it was a great season for the team

as well as all those who love attending games.

(and these next pictures were taken later in the season...

not sure who took them, but i found them in a file on the computer!)
