awes ome, awesome

Football season is over. Leaves are falling. Fall is here.
We had been busy as all get out. Logan and football....Uriah and football....practices/games. I truly enjoy the game, but glad the nub bub is ending. Football season for the little ones is over, we have about 1 more week of equipment turn in, parties and the like.
Uriah's team won third place in the I-5 conference...he is a part of the Dixon Junior Dukes. He did not get to play much. The 2nd day of camp, he overdid it. It was hot, he was out shape....and he experienced chest pains and light headedness. He was born with heart defects, but nothing that really should have triggered that. He was pulled from the team for playing until we had clearance. He saw his cardiologist and we found out his heart is actually better and stronger than it was the year before when they checked it. Uriah got in a little over a week of practice in. He was supposed to play his first game that weekend, when at school, he was getting off the bus, and some 8th graders he claims to not know, were playing tag by the bus load/unload....'accidentally' pushed him, forcing him to break his fall with his hand......breaking it. Of course I am getting no assistance from the school. They are supposedly not at fault...it was an accident. What I would like to know is what the hell kids are doing playing tag/running/goofing off....where busses are loading and unloading students. Those are some awful big tires those busses have if you get my drift.
Logan is a part of the Northern Illinois Youth Tackle Football team. Their team I think is either 4 losses and 4 wins or 5 losses and 3 wins. NIYTF does not have conference games....it is strictly all in fun and teaching kids the basics of the game. Sportsmanship, teamwork....those fundamentals. Not necessarily who is the winner and who is the loser.
Here's some piccies :) They are handsome young men if I say so myself :)
Uriah age 12
Logan age 8
