Riddell {football} Helmet

My son's football helmet had to be sent back to Schutt so he is currently using a different brand, Riddell, for the first time - so naturally I had to record his loaner helmet. :)

What a Kick!

Ever since I went Christmas shopping last November and saw The Gap with string art signs, I've wanted to incorporate it into my scrapbook page.  I started out with a simple L shaped design and used different colors of twine to make the design.  Once it was finished, it reminded me of a soccer net, thus the inspiration to make this page.  I think it adds some fun dimension to the page.  I cannot wait to try another shape in the future!

A Dose of Humility

Let's be honest-- we love to see our kids walk away with the gold.  I'm no different- I love to see my kids succeed at what they love.  But, in this case, I think that my son's losing what the best thing that could have happened.  He's been lucky that sports have come easy to him.  He easily won his age division of the soccer shoot out.  Then came regionals...  We tried to get him to practice, but he thought he had it nailed.  Even during the wait before the event started, he didn't practice (although he was being a nice guy and retrieving balls for other boys who were practicing.). 

When it came time for his turn, he missed once and then again, and again.  It was hard to watch him lose, but it opened up a conversation about working hard to succeed. I hope that he will take this "dose of humility" and use it as an inspiration to work hard and do even better next year!  Win or lose, I'll always be his #1 fan!

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you were inspired!

Powder Puff Football!

The Annual Powder Puff Football game at our high school is always a well attended event...it's so much fun to watch the girls play football and the boys cheer and dance...everyone gets a good laugh out of it, and the bonus is, the kids find out where prom is to be held this year.  My oldest daughter attended the game as a Junior and my middle daughter was cheering with her squad from the sidelines this year.

I used our new clear sticker to back the banner pieces for a little more pop.  I just left them on the backing so they would stay white and shiny.  I like the subtle shimmer it gives, too!
