After years of waiting, we are all finally Cheeseheads.

It's certainly not news that our family is fairly obsessed with football. We all love it...well Lilly....not so much but she's a trooper and puts up with us all during the season. I grew up going to my high school football games on Friday nights LONG before I reached high school age. It's a small town thing perhaps....but I learned at an early age how exciting a game of football can be. High school, college, professional....it's all exciting and so we spend the majority of our weekends every fall enjoying the game.


Winston got the gene and has taken to the sport like a duck to water. He loves to watch it, talk about it, play it....he's just a big fan. He has dropped cartoon watching for Sportscenter and loves to spend time on NFL.com for game updates and team news. How fun is that?!?!?!


I've been a loyal Green Bay Packer fan for a very long time and try as I might, have not convinced the Grant boys to feel the same. They don't dislike them but they are first and foremost Carolina Panther fans so it has made for some interesting Sunday afternoons around this house.


But it's now official - we are all a united Packer family!!


Winston started Sertoma football this year -- tackle....with pads....with large boys who hit hard...this Mama is nervous no doubt but we're ready for it, especially the little man. He's not the biggest boy on the team by far but he's quick and he's determined and he loves everything about it. So off we go for a season of Sertoma football and the best part....Winston is playing for the Sertoma PACKERS!! He'll wear the Green Bay "G" on his helmet, Packer gold pants for games and I can proudly wear my packer t-shirts and sweatshirts to the games!! YIPPEE!! Joe is an assistant coach and is having an awesome time with that too.


We got some awesome action shots of Winston at practice this week. The look on his face is worth a thousand words...the boy is determined and gives it his full effort which is all we can ask for.







So we are ready for some football....PACKER football....how about you??


Now if I can just convince Lilly to wear a cheesehead to the games......
