BYU football

Although I have learned to bear it, football season around our house is pretty stressful. Brandon's emotional temperament is based on how well BYU's football team is doing. We have been lucky the last few years with pretty good seasons. He has really enjoyed getting the kids involved and took them to a game when BYU came to play San Diego. Unfortunately, I stayed home with Annie :). They also went with Brandon's parents, his dad being even more intense then he is when it comes to BYU football. The kids favorite part was putting tattoos on their faces, Kate didn't want to take hers off, but I thought it didn't go with her dress for church the next day.

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?

We signed Matt up for flag football and it turned out to be a nightmare. He had 2 hour long practices and one 1 1/2 hour games a week. I think a lot of the frustration we felt came from the fact that his coach was very serious about winning and hardly let Matt play in the games and then got frustrated with him for goofing off on the sideline. It was for 5-7 year olds and it wasn't suppose to be about winning. Also, this particular league is a tackle league and so the flag team has a lot of contact and nobody stops it. Matt was one of the smallest on the team (being one of the youngest) and he was thrown around quite a bit. We were happy when the season ended and we don't plan on doing it ever again (well I don't, but Brandon loves football and says when he's older he's doing it....We'll see....) Watch this video of Matt, he was so cute running around even though he didn't understand the point of the game...




At Least He found something worthwhile to do with his padded pants.
