Football

We have spent the last 6 weeks playing flag football.  We still have a few more weeks to go and it has been a lot of fun.  I have enjoyed watching football the most so far of the sports the boys have tried.  So every Saturday, we march our way down to the field for some fun.

 

Nate's most favorite thing to do is feed the ducks.  We have had some early morning games where he has been pulled out of bed to go watch football.  I always pack him a little baggie of cereal.  He always feeds it to the ducks.  We spend at least 10 minutes every Saturday at this pond looking at and feeding the ducks.

Luke plays in the 3-4 year old league.  There are only three teams, but it is a lot of fun.  It almost happens that whoever gets the ball will score a touchdown, but sometimes there are flag pulls too.  Luke's coach is one of his teammates mom.  How awesome is she.  They couldn't get a coach and were going to disband the team, but she volunteered to coach them.  She is so sweet and is so good with the little boys.  I am amazed at her patience.
I am also amazed at Luke's skills.  The first week, he was pushing his hand back and guarding the football as he scored touchdowns.  I think he is the only one on his team that has pulled a flag during a game.  He will be a good little flag football player in the next few seasons.

Do you think that Nathan knows how a credit card machine works.  Just passing time during games.

I am such a horrible picture taker.  Most of the time, I don't have my camera and when I do I forget to take pictures. 
Jacob has improved so much these last few weeks.  He has become quite the good flag puller which gets him a lot of playing time.  When he gets a flag, he stops immediately and holds it in the air until a referee, player or coach comes to get it.  I love it!  A few weeks ago, we had an afternoon game, and the boy was on fire.  He pulled a bunch of flags and he scored his first touchdown.  We were so excited for him.
