FIRST AND TEN
Well that would be what we hear several times every Thursday and Friday night since football season started. Jacob is playing Freshman football and the trumpet in the high school band. Basically, we have to be at every game, twice a week, every week. I love high school football, but too much of anything (even a good thing) is just that...TOO MUCH. Jacob's first high school touchdown:
On Friday nights, Jacob plays for the high school band. This is very different for us since military style marching is strictly an east Texas thing. We have certainly enjoyed watching our band, but at competition...wow...how many ways can you walk in a straight line? Here is a video of one of Jacob's latest performances. Make sure you have the sound turned on...you know band. music
This week, Jacob has the regional cross country meet in Arlington. We will be seeing a part of Texas that we have not yet seen . We are also finally going to get to see what all the hype is about cross country. I guess we are bad parents since we have missed all his matches. I figured all we could see is the start and finish and the middle sounded rather uneventful. But, we are going to give it a try and I will let you know how that goes. I will try to post some pictures in my posts, but it is going to take some practice for me to get to the level of blogging of some that I read. Please be patient and sign the guestbook to let me know you are hear. It will not be fun to write if no one is reading.
