FOOTBALL!!

Ashton and AJ decided they wanted to give football a try. So we are! So far... they like it. We are working on grabbing the other team's flags, and being in the right place- on time. It is fun. Jeff is the defensive coach for Ashton's team, and an assistant coach for AJ's team. Practices are on opposite nights, and all but one of their games are at different times. So Jeff has been doing a lot of running around with these boys. But he loves it.

Ashton is on the Cardinals (they played the Steelers this week and won!!). In these pictures he is wearing the bright blue sweat pants. The coaches have been trying them in all the different positions. At this game he was offensive line, center, quarter back, wide receiver, and defense. He did really well.

After their games, I realized I wanted a digital SLR. I could get better, closer, and faster shots! We'll see. Jeff is ready to buy, but the one we are looking at is more money than I think we should spend right now.

Here's Ashton being quarter back. Now... here's where the new faster, closer camera would have come in handy. After hiking the ball, he pulled back and passed perfectly to another boy, on his team. It went in for the extra point! And they won the game!!! Hooray! Here's Ashton, after the pass and touchdown.

The cheerleaders, as usual!

We sure hope that when Spring comes these football games will be warmer!

AJ is also wearing bright blue sweats. He is on the Seahawks. They don't keep score in the peewee league.

AJ being center.

AJ taking the hand off. This time the faster camera wouldn't have helped. AJ only took one step then his flags were gone! AJ is a GREAT runner! He is up and down the field really fast.

I love watching my boys try new sports! It's been fun.
