And So It Begins.....

Football! Well, Flag Football - but only because he isn't old enough for pads. When we first told Blaze he would be playing football this Fall he was so excited. As soon as we said it wasn't tackle football with helmets and pads - he started throwing his arms up in disgust that there was even such a level of football in which you didn't get to tackle. He didn't think he could restrain himself basically. Well - the season started and he did so good. This one will be our Darren clone. He wanted to play every position that would get him the ball. It was so fun to watch. And when practices were over - he couldn't stop talking about how much he loved it and when his next game/practice would be. I think we have found his passion. He loves it so much - he endured a 7-hour drive to Colorado just to watch a Navy vs. Air Force game and turn around after the game to drive the 7 hours back. He is only 6 years old - crazy.....

Anyway - he scored a touchdown during his first game (so proud) and threw a touchdown pass in the second (more proud). I was able to take a few pics of him in action. So sad the season is already over.

Check out his tongue - he is really getting in to it!

That fourth picture down is classic. I love it and I love the tongue. So cute!
