Our children sure are sweet!

Hi all, we had a great afternoon hanging out and relaxing right before school started. Ella just loves being by her big brothers, Jared and Brady. They are so sweet to her. They really make her giggle and smile.

Enjoy the pics!

Jared and Brady at Football Practice

Here are Jared and Brady in their brand new jerseys. Jared is #51 and Brady is #75. They play for the 8 year old Red Eagles. They of course are 9, but they were 8 on May 1st of this year which is the cutoff date.

They had a great time at practice today, they are really getting into it. The coaches have told us that they are going to start them side by side on the offensive line, Jared at left guard and Brady at left tackle.

Today at practice they had their first scrimmage. Brady is still not allowed to go full speed (i.e. no scrimmages or games) for two more weeks. His cast is off, but he has to wear a splint.

Below is a video of Jared making his first tackle. Be sure to watch it in full screen to be able to see the action. Jared is lined up at outside linebacker. He is wearing red socks, white pants, and a black and yellow jersey. I think it will be hard to pick him out, but he is the one that makes the tackle at the end of the play.

It was hard not to get excited, I guess you could say I am living a bit vicariously through this experience!
