Football season, how do those words make you feel? In the past football
season meant life was exciting again. Growing up in California, Fall was
just nice weather compared to the blazing hot summers. Hot chocolate,
corn chips in a bag with chile on top, cheering "Push em back, push em
back way back."Most football games I went to I cheered for, except my
Freshman year where I sat in the stands cheering with my friends. Over
the years I have decided that I don't really like to watch football
unless I know the players. It's as simple as that. So, I finally know
the players again on this little 6th grade Sandcreek team. Kyle Jones is
my favorite player of course. Now since you can't tell who anyone is I
tried to get shots that at least showed his name. Kyle started playing
flag football in 4th grade and surprisingly loved it. He started because
his cousin Austen loved it, so Kyle wanted to see what it was all
about. Flag football was fun, but I thought for sure tackle would be the
end because it hurts. The other hindrance would be that none of his
best friend's moms would let them play, so he was kind of on his own.
Still he persevered and absolutely loves it. I mean loves it like he was
literally bummed last night that it is over, even though they practice
every day for two and a half hours. They work really hard and he doesn't
complain at all. So why does he feel this way you may ask? I can only
guess that maybe he thinks football is the ultimate male sport or maybe
because he has permission to hit and push( he plays defensive tackle) or
that it's a bunch of boys grunting and sweating,or that it's just the
opposite of his life filled with girls. Who knows. I've asked him and he
doesn't really know why, but he loves football. He does look cute in
his uniform.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij2YFwxZbIQmiAHQbCcxEVp3HSO0hCNlcgA-3EWXmpklpPVJ7XyOiVUFToeD5Mz48EbsdPclWhA1Rjedp-S3zAl_1kHbMNaGRxgQIxt8lC0TEQafGAnHUMsS5mOF4G3ZeDOg-FEEZeZb3g/s1600/fall+football+049.JPG)

He is also a kicker.
Here is one of Kyle's fans with a button on and all, in the freezing cold cheering for Sandcreek!

Garrett, loves flag football. He sarted playing it in 1st grade and absolutely loves it. It is his favorite sport so far. Today he has his last 2 games. He cannot play tackle football because he only has 1 kidney so I kind of feel bad that we even exposed him to football, knowing he can't play tackle....but Mitch insisted flag was okay and we should let him do it. We just didn't think he'd love it this much.
What a fun sport to have Kyle in!
Your family looks like you're always busy and on the go.
happy birthday mom
