Friday Night Lights

Most people go to a football game to watch the game, but not Aubrie. She goes for one reason, and one reason only, to watch the cheerleaders. In fact, one of my favorite Aubrie quotes as we were watching the game a few weeks ago is, "Mom, I can't see the cheerleaders! I DID NOT come to watch football!" Needless to say, we found new seats front and center. To say that she is obsessed with cheerleaders would be an understatement. She will even watch football on TV just to catch a small glimpse of the cheerleaders. We have taken her to all the Shiloh Christian School home games this year, and now she is hooked. One of the sweet girls even gave her an old pair of pom poms, as you can see in the pictures. She brings them to every game and cheers right along with the big girls. By the time we go to the next game, she will have a cheer uniform to match theirs as well. I love to see her confidence as she stands in front of a few hundred people and does her cheers. I pray that she is always this confident in life and never lets anything stand in the way of her dreams and goals.

It was a special night for our littlest Jackson too. It was Kirk's first football game! Now, if you know anything about Beau, you know that football has been and still is a passion of his. He played from the time that he was a little boy and while he was in college. He is now ready to pass the tradition on to his mini me, Kirk. Ok, I know he doesn't look very happy at the moment, but he really did have a good time running around at the game. There is nothing better than watching your kids enjoy life. Even the simple things can make them so happy.
