When Carter was playing football at this age Chan and I did a special Pep Rally for his team and when Will landed on his team this year he reminded us and wanted us to do it again and we couldn't say no! So this past Friday night Chan brought over the company box truck loaded with three pallets of heavy metal shelving and an electric pallet jack. In this picture he is showing the boys what's in it and explaining to them that with the load the truck weighs roughly 15, 500 pounds. It's a challenge to them to pull it!
So then we have the head coach take over and ask if any boy thinks he can do it all by himself and there's always someone who thinks they can! Here's a shot of him trying.
Then coach says well surely with a couple more of you on the rope you can pull it right? So he adds a couple more boys on the rope to try.
And still nothing. Then he tells them it's only as a team with all 18 of you that you can do great things. Not as an individual or even a few but as a TEAM! With a sport like football everyone has to do their part to win, or in this case, pull the truck.
So on the rope they went and guess what... they pulled it! All that weight and as a team they were able to do it! It was awesome! All the parents were cheering and the boys were yelling... it was awesome!
It's a great lesson for them to learn! And they had a bit of help with motivation too...
Their cheerleaders!! Will's team has a small team of cheerleaders that will be coming to all the games and Brianne is a part of it! They were cheering for them the whole time to pull the truck! It was cute! Then they did their hello cheer for the boys and introduced themselves. The boys are excited to have them!
Before the first game these girls stayed up late practicing, learning a dance and making banners, because they are determined to go a great job!
I couldn't believe how LOUD they were! There was only 5 of them but they sounded so good!
They attracted enough attention from the opposing team that they gathered up at
their end zone and tried to copy all the cheers that our girls did! You know that saying
imitation is the most sincere form of flattery? Well they should
definitely feel flattered!
Here's Brianne doing one of her famous high kicks! Not the best picture but it was the only one I caught! I was so proud of them and how quickly they pulled together! They only had that ONE practice really! Way to go girls! And you rocked it Brianne! :)

Wow, you guys are probably the coolest parents ever. I love the truck-pulling lesson. VERY cool! Brianne is the cutest cheerleader ever. (Nice to be loud, too!!)
Brianne looks so cute! Still can't believe that they pulled that truck!
That's so cool about pulling the truck. I really didn't think they'd be able to do it--amazing!
