Football Season

Mitchell seems to be enjoying this first year of tackle football. He's pretty tough too, as he has only had one injury, while most kids on the team seem to have had several. He plays QB, as you can see in the picture below where he is grabbing the snap (I have no idea if that's how you say it, so I'll probably get laughed at for that one.), but... there he is. Unfortunately, he was only in a few plays in this game before a leg injury, but he'll be back on the field this weekend, so hopefully I'll get some great pictures of him throwing some spectacular passes.

Jeff is enjoying coaching with Vince and Kyle again this year. This is their 3rd year coaching football together. They take their jobs as coaches quite seriously. I tease Jeff that they actually think they are the coaches of the Vikings, for how dedicated they are, but in all seriousnous, the parents of the kids love them and they are really good at working with the kids.

When my parents aren't in town, we get a babysitter for Grant on Saturday mornings, so just Joel and I get to go to the games. I think it's much better this way :) Grandpa John was actually at this game with us, but the pictures of him didn't turn out.

This turf around the field is really bumpy and sticky... I bet Joel tripped and fell about a dozen times during the game, but this didn't stop him from continuing to run on it, of course.
