Are You Ready For Some Football?!?!?!

Doesn't he just look so cute in the little white pants! Last year they wore black pants to games, which was nice.... This year I have to pre-treat and treat again for the stains.
Oh well, that means he played hard!!

The pic below is AJ in a stance (i guess) I really should have Jake write about the football stuff. Not too sure on the correct football terminology!

AJ had his first football game this afternoon. I just love watching this age group play. It is 3rd and 4th graders. He absolutely loves playing! (daddy loves that too!)


AJ is the only one on the team with a black helmet. I like that because it is very easy to find him out on the field! The YMCA provided the equipment but of course Jake got ours through the school, he says it is much better quality. So he has a black helmet.
(again I just love the little white pants!)

oh yeah, we WON our game today! 14-0 Go Steelers! AJ's biggest fan, Reece, had the best seats up on top of the booth at Hatchet Hollow. Reece starts flag football soon. He played last year and really enjoyed it. That age group is very cute to watch. It is K-2nd. He can't wait until he gets to wear all the pads and hit, that part makes me nervous for him. Hopefully he gains some weight and gets some meat on his bones before 3rd grade!!!!

Well for the rest of this month and all of October we are full force in to football! AJ has games every Saturday until the end of October. He usually has practices 2-3 nights a week.
Reece will soon have practices and games every Saturday until the end of October.
And of course Jake is JV Coach for WHS so he is always at football! Also, AJ is one of the ball boys for the high school games on Friday nights. He enjoys that very much! He rides the bus with the team to and from the away games. (i think he likes the snacks they have for the bus rides home!) Plus he likes to be right there with all the action during the games.

  2. jessie, i really had no choice on whether they were playing football or not!!!
    AJ plays every Sat at 1:30, some home, some away.
    Reece has practices for the next 4 Saturdays and then games the following 4 Saturdays.
    Yes, I know, you will be VERY busy moving! Little Koen may have to come visit us so you can get some work done :)

  3. Nick is playing flag football this year...first time! I hope he does well - he's prone to being a little bit of a baby when things don't go his way (nothing like being the youngest of 4 kids) so I'm hoping for the best! Who is Reece's coach?

  5. Congratulations on AJ's win!! I LOVE football! Hope you have a great season! I know with our girls cc season I've dusted off the crock pot and putting it to use...much easier getting supper fixed with the running to practices/meets, etc...I'm sure you understand that too!
