"Franchise"

Well...football season is officially over. We had a Pizza Party on Wednesday night to finish off a great season with a little fun! We packed way to many people into a room that was too small for us, to loud for most of us and at one point way too hot and then way to cold! But does that really matter when your there to support the greatest freshman football team in Boise?!!! Here are some pics from the night!



One of the mom's made this cake and put all the boys names on it! I was impressed! And the football was made out of a cookie! Each player got their piece of cake with their name on it!
Here is Jaxon getting his award from Coach Joe....bear with me as I brag for a moment. All of the coaches (7 total) split up the boys amongst themselves and gave them all nicknames which they presented at the party. It was so fun to hear about each kid and what they were like out on the field. So Jaxon was presented his award, Last, and by the head coach...Coach Joe. Coach Joe went on to tell everyone that he nick named Jaxon the "FRANCHISE" because after one of the games the head coach from the other team came over and asked Joe "who is #20?" And Coach Joe said "that's Jaxon". The other coach turned to Coach Joe and said "I'll give you 5 of my players for Jaxon." And Coach Joe just smiled and said "Never". So he named him "Franchise". Jay had to explain to Kenna on the way home that a franchise player is a player that the team will not trade to another because they are so valuable. What a tribute to how hard Jax worked this season! We are so proud of you Jax! And I cant wait till next year! GO COUGS!

Proud Mama!


What kid doesn't love getting a trophy AND a certificate with your new nick name on it!


Benny, Mitch and Jax

Mitch and Jax....friends for their whole lives!

Last team huddle....."On 3.....1, 2, 3...COUGARS!"


These are the practice jerseys that the kids got for next season....this was a HUGE hit!

Here's that special piece of cake I was telling you about....one kid said it tasted better because it had his name on it!
