Another Great Football Day

Son #4 had the first game.

He scored a running touchdown.

He's fast. And good at getting flags.

And a sure thing for a great catch. The cheerleaders.

I think Son #2 and #3 are goofing for the photo.
Or the mouthguards are morphing their lips.
They each had touchdowns in the game.
Son #2 had an interception runback for a TD.
This is Son#1 scoring his second TD of the game.
You'll notice he has one shoe off.
A defender pulled it off at the beginning of his run,
but he didn't let that slow him down.
It was at least a 20-30 yard run.
His first TD was another huge run where he broke a couple of tackles
and then outran the whole defense. He's quick!
I love football Saturdays.
There's only one more week of them--I HOPE!!!

Saturday

We had three football games to attend on Saturday.

I only got photos of two of them.

In the game that I missed taking photos at,

my son got several catches, touchdowns and extra points receptions.

We'll get some photos next week of him.

My son is the center.

He caught a great catch for a BIG first down.
These are my fellow cheerleaders.
Although they seem more interested in snacks than FB.

This one got a huge touchdown run on a sweep.

He's very fast.

Dad is the coach.

He's giving the boys a post-game talk after their win.

Dad and I are the cheerleaders at our oldest son's game.

Again, he played all over the place: fullback, corner, and kick-off return.

Here he's positioned as a fullback.

He got some great runs in the game.

He's loving his first year of grid kid.

Then we went home for lunch

and soon after the boys left with their dad to watch the BYU game.

Here's a Friday evening a couple weeks ago.

The boys have been hauling and moving sawdust.

They kept at, even though it took them toooooo long!

Labor Day at the Riot Zone

He took the middle of the lane.

He didn't want anyone passing him. All of the kids are at the top!

This is our speed racer.

She was a natural.

I was amazed it was her first time driving.

But she did slow down considerably after being told

that they weren't bumper cars. I'm not sure who the winner was,

but Dad deserved a medal for PATIENCE.

Stitches under the chin after a nasty crash in a go-kart.

Thank goodness Dad can do that too.

The Space Shuttle was a favorite. He made it to the top of both "rock mountains."

My other speed racers.

The paddle boats were fun for the girls.
As were the Inflatables.

This is the same race as his crash and cut face.

BUMPER BOATS!

Need I say more?

Sunday Game Night...TWISTER

Sunday night, a lot of the time, is family board game night.

But tonight somebody got out TWISTER.

We managed to have some fun..Can you tell who's in charge?

This one likes to get in any photo shot she can.

She's come a long way from last year

when I could never get her to hold still in a photo.

It was my daughter's idea to do funny faces!

Football Saturdays

With the all four boys playing football this fall,

this is how the girls and I spend our Saturdays.Lined up as wide receiver.

He plays DE on defense.

He returns the ball on kicking teams (got a 20-yard run back this week).

He also plays wing and running back on offense.

Our family's two cheerleaders...

and boy, do they cheer loudly!
Half-time shot.
He's playing flag football,
like the two brothers just older than him.
Dad is coaching two of them,
so I've got to be to the other games...
hence the photos of only two boys.
We'll get the other kids up there too.

He get's lots of "tackles" on defense.
On offense, he's scored!!
He's quick. He can catch and throw.
He's a natural athlete.
