Heading to the playoffs

Well tonight the Rebels play Bryant in the state playoffs. I really hope they win. The game is in Bryant so it will be a long trip. I may try to sneak to the high school and get some video of them leaving for the game. The boys will die if they see me, but they have almost died of me taking pictures before. Here are a couple of pictures from the game last week.

Austin #9 Alex #89 I love these boys

This picture is at the pep rally before the Northside- Southside football game

last week. Southside won. I hope someday they will be glad to have pictures.

Senior Night

He was giving me a rose and a kiss. What a special kid!!

Bennett, Alex and I on Senior night

Southside is struggling and so was I Friday night. It just seems like yesterday he was starting elementary school and now he is getting ready to graduate from high school. Friday night was senior night. I did very good till I watched him walk off the field after the game. I know they still have games to play, and hopefully it is several, but we may not get to play another one at Southside. Alex is such a great kid and I know he is having a great senior year. We love you Alex

A review of last week

This is Alex and Julia at our house before they left for the

homecoming dance. They looked so nice.

Austin and Kristen looked really cute. They went to Avery's house before the

dance so we went over there to take pictures. Austin was not sure about

me following him over there to take pictures, but there were plenty of

moms there doing the same thing. The group went to Cheddars to eat before the dance.

Austin started for the first time this year in the varsity football game.

This was his first pass of the game and it was about a 30 yard completion

Bennett went to the homecoming pep rally with me. This was a first.

I had to get a picture of him and Alex

Alex walked Katie Allen during the pep rally. The senior football boys

do this during the pep rally and the dads do it before the football game.

It was a very crazy weekend. The game was Friday night and the dance

was on Saturday night. It was a lot of fun seeing the kids all dressed up.

Alex is Hootens scholar athlete of the week

Alex was picked as Hootens scholar athlete of the week. He

did not know he was being picked and they did it at lunch in the

cafeteria at Southside. This is him getting his award and Chad Hooten

is filming it. They talked to Coach Williams, Alex and Bennett. I know

Hooten's has a show on TV on Saturday mornings, but I am not sure

when his part will be on.

We are so proud of Alex. He is a great son and this year is going to fast.

Southside is on winning streak

Alex was one of the captains for Friday's game against Springdale.

He is number 89. Soutthside won the game on a last second field goal.

It was such a good game and now Southside is undefeated in

conference play.

At the start of the second half Austin came out as the quarterback.

Hunter was injured in the first half so Austin got to play all of

the second half. He and Alex were in at the same time on some plays.

I was very nervous for Austin but he did great. It was such a thrill to have

them playing at the same time.

I took this picture and did not realize till I started looking at my

pictures what this looks like. I think big brother is about to take this

guy out if he thinks he is going to hurt his little brother.

Southside beats Fayetteville JV

Austin hurt his hand last night during this play. He hit his thumb

on the helmet of the Fayet. guy. He is going to be fine.

Austin back to pass!!!!

Austin on the hand off to JJ. He had a great game.

Southside won 23-7

Southside wins big

Alex and Austin on the field at the same time.

Alex is 89 Austin is 9

I usually can not get a picture of them together because they never seem to

stand close to each other.

Southside won a big game on Friday night. They beat the number 1 team in the state.

I am so proud of those boys. Alex and Austin both played in the game. It is a lot of fun to have

two boys on the same team.
