Football Against Beck Jr High

BDJH played Beck Junior High this evening. The team cheered for the B team, which won. They were losing almost the entire game - 6 to 0. Beck made a touch down and the field goal looked good, but they didn't get the extra point, so I am not sure why. In the last few minutes, BDJH scored a touchdown and made the field goal. The girls had lots to cheer about.

Being a cheer mom is kind of distracting. The girls do lots of cheers and I always stop watching the game to watch them. They keep us entertained. 

Half-Time Cheer

First Football Game

The first football game was today and the cheerleaders were completely ready to go. Even a little downpour didn't stop them. They were fantastic.

Super Bowl

We watched the Super Bowl tonight. I like football, but for the last few years I only make an effort to watch one or two games - usually just the Super Bowl. These guys can appreciate some of the game, but they were way more into the food and the commercials. I sent them to bed right after half time and watched the rest by myself. 

My Team Won!

Last night, we went to Dave & Busters for Papa Malcolm's birthday. It happens to be right next to Qualcomm Stadium where the Chargers were playing the 49ers. We could even see fireworks as we were parking. There were lots of people watching the game at Dave & Busters. Last year, Lexi decided that she was a Chargers fan. We never watch, but it is "her team." She was thrilled to be surrounded by fellow fans. Every time people cheered, Lexi threw her arms up and yelled, "My team won!" She was so excited about it. She wore her Chargers t-shirt today and made the announcement several times.

Chargers' Day

Yesterday morning, we went to Papa Malcolm's church to hear him sing. Then we headed over to a little store that has Chargers stuff. We decided that morning to watch the playoff game. Of course, all of the gear was on sale so I got Chargers shirts for Lexi and Jordan (next years sizes). Lexi wanted to get one for her dad, but I explained that he is a Dolphins fan. The rest of the day she told everyone that she is a Chargers fan, but that her dad likes the Dolphins which is funny because she was not interesting in watching the game at all. For the first half of the game, she went to the dog beach with Papa Malcolm and Aunt Paige. The second half of the game, she just kept asking if we could watch or do something else. Now that I think about it, that is probably a good way for a true fan to handle a big loss.
