Football...A Love/Hate Relationship

So...as many of you know, Football has completely taken over our schedules the last couple months.  With Kyle playing for Thornburg, Gabriel through Parks and Rec, and Bryson playing soccer there's been barely a moment to catch our breath with all the several times a week practices and game schedules, and trying to squeeze portraits session in-between.  Many nights we are triple booked with events, which makes for some very interesting coordinating on my part.
I have had my kids in soccer for years, and love the non-competitiveness and niceness of the sport.  Don't get me wrong, I love to win as much as the next mom, but in my experience if the soccer teams lose there's a sense of "Great job kids!' and "We'll try harder next time" Not so with Football.  I was totally unprepared for the fierceness and demands that are put on the little ones, even in the Peewee leagues.  Anthony doesn't share my concerns of course; he played in High School and loves everything about the boys being in it now for him to coach from the sidelines. 

Thankfully, soccer has ended and football is winding down.  I couldn't resist suiting Kyle up in his gear and getting some shots...he's always so easy in front of the camera.  I swear he could model someday if he chooses to...still need to find a day to get some shots of Gabriel in his football gear, and Bryson in his soccer stuff, but wanted to share Kyle in his gear.  I have to admit, as much as I gripe about the Football thing, he sure does look cool!
