Flag football!

Wow...it's been a really long time. I'm hoping to have some short and sweet ones so I can catch up.

Nate just finished up his first flag football season. He wanted to play Fall baseball, but knowing some buddies were playing flag football, I talked Nate into giving it a try. I like baseball...but he was getting a bit fanatical about it. Well, now he's fanatical about football. :) Not only did he love playing with his friends, but he'd be running routes with Sam in the backyard any chance he'd get. Now he's not sure if he likes football or baseball better. That's a lot coming from a kid who's been swinging a bat since he was two (probably earlier!).

He's going with the Clay Matthews look...

These last two are videos...I'm having camera issues at the moment, which would be only having a phone to take pictures...doesn't work too good for action shots. So this first one is Nate scoring a touchdown. He loved running and "juking" defenders!


His last is playing quarterback. When asked by his coach what his favorite part about the season was, it was playing quarterback. I loved that he had to yell to his team to start the play. Nate's pretty quiet, and the first time he did this the coach got on to him for not being loud enough. From then on out he was loud and clear...good to hear him pipe up in a populated situation. :)


He says he wants to play tackle next year...I don't think mom's up for that just yet.
