More FoOtBall Pictures

FoOTbALL , fOoTBall, FOoTBaLL!!

Our boys LOVE to play football. Nicholas played flag football for the first time this year. He was a little nervous at first, but ended up really liking it. His team was the Packers. His friend from school was on his team which made it fun. He did a great job!! He liked blocking the best. He is a fast little runner. It was funny he would run to the side lines and get a drink all out of breath and then hustle back ion the feild, after each game he would tell us that he was "exahasted" and needed to rest!! It was a lot of fun watching him play, life is going to be a little crazy when Kael and Gabe are old enough to play So Kael and Gabe were a little upset that they could not be on the team at first, but luckily I had signed them up for this ITTY BITTY FOOTBALL class. It was sooo cute and the boys loved it!! We were bummed that there friend Conor was not on there team but they all still had a good time!! They learned the basic rules, practiced throwing, kicking, hiking, and then at the end they would play a flag football game. It was sooo fun!! They had a ball. During the games when it was there turn to run the ball Kael and Gabe would hike it to each other. It was really funny!! Thanks Charlene for the heads up about the class!!!

BATMAN

BATMAN decided to come to our house today. Kris and Gabe have been sick and Nicholas and Kael have bad coughs. I hopefully will get away with a headache. So we were in need of some cheering up. Kael wants to be BATMAN for Halloween and I haven't gotten his costume yet, but..... Luckily Kael got into the costume bin that had been taken away since no one ever cleaned it up and left costumes all over the house, hey who am I kidding my children never pick up anyway, He found and old BATMAN costume that had all the pieces and it fits like a glove!! He was so excited that he put it on along with some nylon stockings ( for his boots of course) and would answer to nothing but BATMAN!!
Me: Everyone upstairs, time for dinner
Kael: Dinner Yeah BATMAN is Hungry, BATMAN can eat
Me: Watch out there is something on your chair
Kael: BATMAN will move it Mom BATMAN has muscles.......... MOM you help me, its heavy
Nick: Kaelster we didn't say the Prayer
Kael: "NICK DON'T CALL ME KAELSTER, I BATMAN!!!
Kael: Mom, Can BATMAN go potty?
Me: um lets hope so

and so was the conversations with BATMAN, until he needed to go to bed and put on P.J.'s so he would not ruin his BATMAN outfit. While he was at our house he killed some bad guys and fought some other bad guys. But he did not hurt his moms or dads and he didn't hurt hims brothers!!

Go BYU!!!!

So Kris took Nicholas to his very first college football game, BYU's Homecoming game.
Nicholas was very excited, just he and his dad and crazy Grandpa Dennis (j/k, he knows we love him) Nick had a busy morning after getting his Flag football pictures taken, which only 3 other team members showed up, then he had a Foot Ball game of his own to play in. Nick had a really good run and also did some great blocks. But for the most of the game he was the center. So after the game it was time to get ready for "thee Game" it was supposed to be really cold and possibly rain and/or snow so of course we had to go get Nick some new winter gear. He had had his coat for the past 2 years and it was a little short in the sleeves, so where do we head ..... Cabelas Kris has a whole bunch of points he needed to use up. All Nick cared about was getting some sunglasses and a new beanie, and we all know that I care more about the Jacket color then he does, we just needed him to make sure that it fit. So after getting the Jacket,boots, hat and gloves we headed to eat. Cabelas food is actually quite tasty unless maybe you try the ostrich sandwich. By the time Nick was all ready to go he was wearing the following:
1 skeleton pj top
1 gray thermal long sleeve shirt
1 blue fleece hoody
1 winter coat w/ lining
Bottoms:
1 skeleton pj bottom
1 blue athletic pant
1 pair of fleece lined snow pants
Feet:
1 extra thick pair of socks
North Face snow boots (they hold up in all sorts of crazy weather)
Head & Hands:
1 blue North Face Beanie (Nick Picked out)
Hood From his Jacket
Mittens that fold back into finger gloves
So as we were getting in the car Nick tells me not to turn the car to hot cause he is already sweating!! Ha On the way he also informed us that he only likes 2 football teams Pleasant Grove, he wants to play for them when he gets to high school, and BYU . Go figure good thing that they are both blue and white. So they made it to the game and had a grEaT time, Nicholas didn't put his coat or hat on once and they didn't need either of the 2 blankets that I made them take just in case, Better to be to Warm then to Cold right??? Kris said that Nicholas was awesome and that it was alot of fun!! Thanks Dennis for sharing your tickets!!
