Are you ready for some football?!

As we have picked out boy names in our family, there's always been one rule. It has to pass the football challenge. It has to sound tough, and it has to sound good on the football field. "That's a tackle by Stone Jessup!" or "That's a touchdown by Knox Jessup!" And now, Stone has had the awesome opportunity to participate in this family's beloved sport, football. And he LOVED it. It's by far the happiest he's been in team sports. He loved every second of it. He loved tackling too much (it was flag football--oops!), and he loved the fundamentals his coach taught (or tried for the life of him! haha) to his team. Another Jessup boy enjoys football. Whew!

Texas takes football SERIOUSLY! The games were played at an old high school stadium! What a great experience for these little guys!

What's football without a little blood?! Tough little man! He was more upset that we had to take him home for his bloody nose, than he was for having a bloody nose.

Do you spy Emerson? Hugging her knees, watching the cheerleaders? She LOVED watching them, and got as close as she possibly could. She's not quite old enough, but as soon as she is, she'll be shaking those hips and poms.  She loved football practices. We'd take her trike, and she'd bike almost a mile! Lap after lap!

Knox loved practices just as much. Look at this born leader! Leading the pack!
