Summer over, Start of school, Tiger starts, volleyball starts!!!!

Summer is over and school has started. The summer ended pretty good. Kids got new shoes and clothes and bakpacks and got ready to start 5th and 8th grade. It is crazy to say that my baby is in 8th grade. She is so funny and mature, most of the time, haha. Brad is such a big guy at school now too.
We started football. Brad is in his junior season with the tigers. It was a grueling 3 weeks of practice to start the season. You have 3 weeks of 6 days a week. Plus it was so hot this year. But we made it through and now practice is only 3 days a week. He is playing tight end and defensive end. He is doing great , we have started playing games now and we are 2-1 we beat the rams 28-0 and Brad caught and extra point pass. He does a great job of blocking as well. I don't care what he plays but I look forward to watching him continue playing through junior high and high school. He even likes going to practice and playing three on three hitting drills. He is tall and lanky so he doesn't have alot of punch but he uses his hands real good on defense. I like watching him on defense because he is pretty active. and gets excited when he hits someone. I am so very proud of him , he works very hard and seems to enjoy it very much. He also started back pitching lessons on wednesdays.
He told me on the way home the other night that he was going out for student council. I said "why?" and he said "I dunno, just figured I would try it" he told me his speech and it sounded great. That friday he got up and spoke at school and was voted to be on student council. Very cool!!
Mady is in 8th grade and has had a great start to her 8th grade year. She is very social and she is always out in the circle with all her friends roaming the neighborhood. She playing on the "A" team and having a good time. The plays back row and comes in and out of the game. She is still taking golf lessons and goes once a week. She is getting so old and it is all happening too fast for me.
I will write another post and update everything, I don't want to fall behind too much.
Ya'll be safe out there!!!
