Flag Football

Little Thomas is growing so fast!  Check out his head control!

 

Looking so big!

This weekend Mason had his first flag football game!  Yes, we have spring football here!  It was COLD!  But that didn't bother him too much.  The night before we had to get his mouthguard to fit to his mouth and that was an ORDEAL!  Mason is a tiny bit strong willed and it took us about an hour and a half to get this accomplished!  The tensions were high!  But, I was NOT willing to give in and was determined to make him cooperate, and in the end it was fit to his mouth!  Funny, cause at the game he had NO trouble putting it in!  Stinker!  We were lucky that my parents were on their way back from Branson so they were able to watch the game with us!

Hearing all about the rules and sportsmanship

Team huddle.

He has only had 1.5 practices before the game, he wasn't quite sure what to do!

Playing Center

He got one "tackle"

Depending on Mason's mood at the moment...he might tell you he hates football, but he had fun, and he'll probably write about it tomorrow in his weekend news...but he still hates it.  He's a tough one, that kid!  Today we went to church.  The last month we've either been gone or someone has been sick on Sunday so we haven't been able to faithfully attend, and when we got there they asked the boys if they were ready to sing in church...say what?!?  Mason was part of that and you could tell he didn't know all the words, but I was proud of him for trying!

 

Singing...kind of!

After church we came home for a bit and played some football in the driveway.  It was Mason and Dad vs. Zane and Matt.  Such fun!

Dad and Mason planning their next move...

Zane and Matt's strategy was to block them...

Here they go!

Touchdown!

Now it's their turn on offense...

These two were making faces and noises to intimidate the other team...

It was nice to see Mom and Dad this weekend!  Too bad it couldn't have been a LITTLE bit warmer, but I think that's ahead of us for this week!
