Superbowl Champions!!

Ty's football team had an amazing season this year!!! His team was undefeated for the season, with only 19 points scored on them during the regular season.

For the championship game, they got to play at the highschool stadium under the lights. It was so exciting for them. Making it even more exciting, they won the game in the last 30 seconds!!!

The champions:

It was a full day of excitment, starting with a team "pep rally" at Ty's teammate's and our neighbor's house, the Moreschi's. We had a babysitter for Paige during the game since it was so cold and late, but she was thrilled to go to the pre-party and help the cheerleaders decorate all the cars.


The boys got their face painted:


They were ready to go:

The parade of decorated cars heading to the game:


When we arrived at the highschool the boys were able to go in the locker room for a pre-game pep talk:




When the coach was done with his speech he turned the time over to the boys to each say something. The first two boys passed, not knowing what to say. Ty was third. He was so cute, the first to say something, said, "Do your best and don't give up." Good advice Ty guy.

Carter is in heaven with these boys. Attending every practice and team function, the boys on the team quickly labeled Carter their team mascot and including him in everything they did.



1-2-3 Go Packers!!!!





Their cheerleaders made banners for each team member to run through. Ty loved it, unfortunately we didn't get any pictures.

Keith was the offensive coach.


Ty played great defense this season. He is a really smart player, he knows where he needs to be.




Ty's fans, trying to keep warm:

The boys definitely made the game exciting for us. We scored the first touchdown in the first quarter. Then this was the score the fourth quarter, with only 34.2 seconds left. We had the ball (despite what the scoreboard says).
Touchdown Packers!


And this was the final score! They kept us on our feet in the stands, the other team almost scored with 3 seconds left, but the boys stopped them in the end!

"We won, Mom!"
The excitement and celebration was awesome!!





Ty's best buddies on the team:


We finished with a team party at a local restaurant. What a night!!

Wow Lexie, great photos and story! The football experience is quite a deal for the boys - especially if they have great coaching! I'm going to forward this to our Rob and Jenni and their son Jacob who played his second year this season. They too had a great season, lots of fun, lost championship game. What I am wondering though - how did you guys borrow the Super Bowl trophy - that thing is huge!!!
