Baby Grizzly

On Friday night my grandson, Landon, went to his very first football game.  He was dressed in a little grizzly bear suit with ears and a tail.  He's only 5 weeks old and very small.  Our school mascot is a grizzly bear so I asked my friend to take a picture of the big grizzly holding the baby grizzly.  The PPR (Prep Pigskin Report) cameraman from our local high school football highlight tv station saw him and took a picture of his little sleeping face with his furry grizzly ears.  When we got home and turned on our tv to watch the highlights around the county there was our little baby grizzly filling up the tv screen!  Then they showed our school highlights and they were almost all of Hunter!  The vast majority of high school football players never get featured on PPR and our super stud, Landon, did it in his very first football game:)  Hopefully, 15 years from now he will be on there every week.  Grandma was a spaz and didn't have her camera but he's wearing his "uniform" to the next game so I will be sure to add a picture to this post in just a few days:)

Big Shoes to Fill

Yesterday Logan, Michelle and Landon came over after church and after eating lunch everyone fell asleep for a little nap.  While I was walking by I looked down and saw Landon's shoes right next to Logan's shoes.  I was thrown back in time for a minute when Logan's shoes were the little ones.  Amazing how quickly time goes by.  Now my baby has a little baby to teach and love for eternity.  What a wonderful circle of life. 

Just Win, Baby!

My team finally beat the Chargers.  I can hold my head up high for a few weeks and maybe longer if we can do it again in December.  I can't believe how good it feels!  It feels like many years ago when I lived in Raider country and used to watch games with my dad and brothers and we expected our boys to win because they usually did.  I traveled back in time and felt the joy of being with people I love, cheering for a team I love and winning!  This time I was hugging my husband and children instead of my dad and brothers but it felt just as good:)  I have loved this team my whole life and it feels great to be, if only for a moment, on the winning end again.  The autumn wind is a raider and I will be a fan until I die.  Raider Nation forever!!!
