Hurricane Panthers! Win 19-0!!!!

Our game was moved up from 12:30 to 9:30AM this mornin'! We woke up to watch the weather channel about all the Hurricane Ike devastation and wondered if our game was actually going to take place! Here in Dallas the wind was blowing and there was intermittent rain but we headed out to the Football fields despite the weather!

KICK OFF!

Josh is now on 'Starting Offense'!
Here he is riding the pine during defense time! :) #86!

Jillian was all smiles! She loves umbrella weather!

And she LOVES being a CHEERLEADER! She told Josh that she hopes he doesn't mind but that she is his official sister cheerleader! Josh just rolled his eyes and said, "whatever"
Here is Josh with his buddy/team-mate TJ! One great thing about playing football this year is that Josh has some 'instant new friends' at his new elementary school! Everyday when I pick Josh up from school, TJ comes to the van window and says...BYE JOSH! See ya at Practice!
I think their smirks are so cute! They were so pumped and happy about winning!
AND...Daddy couldn't be prouder!! He was amazed at the progress and toughness of Josh during this game! On the opposing team-- the other #86 was about a foot and a half taller than Josh--and JOSH SHUT HIM DOWN!! He was a blocking machine!

Dave calls him... "THE GREAT WALL OF GARLAND!"

Stud Josh! or Hurricane Josh! :)

Here is some cheerleader footage from Jillian...some cheers are made up straight from her little creative almost 5 year old mind!! so funny!
