My 8th grader..

Gosh where has the time gone? I remember not to long ago when he was in kindergarten and his school called me to tell me he ran into the tree, not once but twice and that he had a pretty big knot on his forehead. My little man is growing up, and I want time to stop, because its going to fast for me, I love you so much Brycen. You make my life so much sweeter by being in it.
I wish you the best school year son, for next year will be a bigger adventure you will take on being in High School. I take a picture every year on the first day of school as I'm sure every mother does. So here it is his first day of 8th grade. I also took a picture of him after his first football practice, which was on the first day of school as well.

So as you all know Brycen is now a big bad 8th grader. He is on the football team again this year and loves every minute of it, even the long practices in full pads and being 100 degrees outside :) He now comes home in the evenings tired as ever, but wouldnt change a thing. This year he is playing on both defense, offense and special teams. He plays defensive rush, and offensive guard.

This past Saturday was his first game. Man what a game! Not only did it pour rain, we had bad ref's, some injuries to the team and a upsetting loss. Brycen played pretty much the entire game because he plays both sides. He was pretty banged up and bloody but hey thats Texas football for ya! No crybabies in football here thats for sure. He was pretty upset about the game to say the least and came home and soaked in my jacuzzi tube. He is dreading todays practice because they will get smoked because they lost, but thats how it goes sometimes. Here are some pics of his game. He is #57 in the navy blue jersey.
