First & 10

Braden is now playing flag football for the YMCA. His team is the Eagles. He is super excited because there are boys on his team from his "old daycare" that he hasn't got to see in a long time! I'll just be honest. . .I have no idea where he gets all of this personality, but if he would just take a bad picture I could stop with the camera!!! It is evident that he knows when the camera is on and he loves to "see" himself as soon as we take a picture. His favorite of course are the movies, and he asks at every picture if we can "make it move."

As you can see from the video, they've yet to grasp the concept of which direction to run with the ball. Each kid gets a turn to get the ball and run with it and each time either a coach or official has to steer the kid in the right direction.

Poor Blake decided not to coach this time and just "help out," but the coach was out of town so here he is in the team picture!


The games are held on campus and this shot has the PSU stadium in the background, you can see the gorilla logo over Braden's shoulder.

Here he is with his "flag belt"

Trying to keep Mason in the shade! He doesn't know it yet, but he is his Brother's number 1 fan! He was at his first T-Ball game at 1 week, and here he is at football!





Coach giving them their first pep talk. . . .and below asking them to make their best "tough face."




Mason at 20 weeks. Lovin' bath time. . . .he is one clean kid, since he's so happy in tub, we keep him in there as long as possible!
