As usual, our life has been consumed with football, cross country, boy scouts, and more football. Whether it be CBFO, Farragut Admirals or the Ole Miss Rebels, we've been playing, watching, or listening to it over the last two weeks. We will start with CBFO......Christian has been playing and practicing on a regular basis. They don't typically keep score in his Flag league his team wins every game according to him. Jake and his team lost a game last weekend only to come back and win the next game 4 1/2 hours after losing the first. This past weekend they played area rivals Concord Warriors and tied 14 to 14. We have a few key players who are injured. Jake scored on the first play of the game only to have it called back...something about a player illegally up field .....not sure but he scored a second one as well and a 2 point conversion. Once the other team caught on to Jake being the receiver.....they had 3 to 4 guys on him at a time.

Farragut played rival Bearden which is THE GAME of the season. One has to arrive there at least an hour before the start to get a seat. Students are usually dressed in a variety of outfits from overalls (Farragut Farmers...old joke) to blue and silver body paint. Bearden loves to dress as pirates in the hopes of "sinking the Admirals" and maroon body paint. My boys wore their CBFO jerseys and as you can see, Jamesen made the local newspaper. I mean who could pass up such a good looking kid as that. I had to scan it in. I had to fight him for it this morning. He wanted to take it to school to show everyone. I made him a color copy and sent him on his way. Needless to say, Farragut won by a landslide, 48 to 10. This past weekend the Admirals won again against McMinn County, 28 to 10.....not such a landslide but a win.

Jamesen ran his first cross country race with a time around 11 to 12 minutes. The timer wasn't working right but I was just proud that he finished it.....and looked quite good doing it. We also went to Ijams Nature Center with Jamesen's Boy Scout Troop. We took about a 45 minute hike down by the Tennessee River. Forgot my camera so no pics. He enjoyed it ....my nature lover for sure!!!

As for Ole Miss.....we lost....but so did the Vols....he he he! So that made up for it. Jake hung out with his girlfriend Emi Saturday night .....She and her family are Auburn fans so we are 3 for 3 in losses this weekend around this area.

Well, another week has begun.....the wiener dog and the hamster are snoozing....I would love to join them. I can't.....I have too much laundry to do, dinners to plan, and carpool routes to organize. I better get started.
