Football Season Ends

Well, it's over.  Just in time too, thank goodness, cuz' I was turning into a popcicle during the last two games.

 

Ronin learned alot and enjoyed playing his first year of tackle football.  He is already eager for next year to roll around.

 

 

 

Even if Jed was working, sometimes he was still able to stop by and watch Ronin a little bit. 

 

 

 

 

 

Football Jamboree

Grid Kid Football officially kicked off today with a Jamboree.  This is Ronin's first year playing "real football" as his dad puts it.  He's graduated from flag football. :)

Finally, Ronin and Brayden are on the same team for once!  All these years of city baseball, basketball, and football they've always had to play against each other.

It's pretty cute watching these boys check themselves out in all of their protective gear. You can tell they are feeling strong and invincible with all that manly stuff on. :)  

 

Rigdon.

Ronin had a great defensive play where he ran down his opponent and...

tackled him.

Such a studmuffin. :)

Sideline entertainment.

Practice games over.  The real ones start next week.

Looks like it's gonna be a fun season.

Enjoying the Warmth

Spring and winter have been alternating with one another quite a bit over the last few months.  Lately it's definately felt more like winter.  HOWEVER . . . . yesterday the temps were in the higher 40's!  It felt so warm compared to what we've had.  Our boys just had to get out and enjoy it a little bit.

They started out with football first . . . .

Take your pick, an over the top kick or a very energetic Scottish jig?

This poor horse didn't fare very well during the winter. He's losing all his fur.

Then it turned into some baseball.

Connor can be such a wonderful big brother.

I really enjoy seeing love between brothers.  Especially since our boys have all been fighting each other way too much lately.  Cabin fever?

Today's temp: A lovely 50 degrees. Ahh!  I actually NEEDED to turn on my car's AC!
Tomorrow's forecast: 32 degrees, snowstorm with 2-4 inches. :( Suck.  We're back to winter again.


This was from earlier in the week when it was still cold:

Of course all fun usually ends in tears . . . . Jack got a little excited and pushed Rigdon down with his paw.

How can a sweet 'ol face like this be guilty of any wrongdoing anyway?

Besides, Jack devours sticks, not people.  :)

 

Ready, Set....Hut!

Football season is in full swing.  This is Ronin's first year of playing flag football - he loves it!   I figured he would, it's right up his alley.

Here's a few pics of practices, games, and some of Ronin's biggest fans.

Ronin's grandparents have made it to several games.

Connor is a good brother.

He keeps Rigdon out of trouble for me, a whole lot of trouble.

Rigdon thinks it's great fun to run out into playing field during the games.
