Flag Football

Life is so crazy right now in our home. We have something every night and usually it is around dinner time. Dinners have been sporadic and random since school began. Josh is coaching 3 soccer teams and Lincoln and Palmer's flag football team. It is nuts! Good thing the boys and Josh are loving it because the mom and McKay are not sure what to think of our schedule right now.

This year Palmer and Lincoln are playing on the same flag football team. Palmer played last year and Josh coached so Lincoln saw a lot of the football games. He was pretty excited to finally get to play.
Most of the games I don't even bring my camera too as with McKay now as active as he is, I am lucky if I get to watch the game from very far away. I spend most of my time following McKay around. He is so curious and pretty fearless! This game however was at a field that the kids really couldn't go too far away from me and so I was finally able to get some pictures. It was the perfect game to take them as well. Right off the bat Palmer scored a touchdown.


Since being married to Josh I have grown to LOVE football.  There is something so autumn-y about it.  When we are at games I study every tree to see if it thinking of changing it's colors yet.  I am sensitive to the coolness of every breeze and for some crazy reason, I want to bring a thermos full of hot cocoa with me to sip even though it is 85 degrees.  Even though it is takes up a lot of our time, we love to do this as a family.  We are making such great memories and we all come home on a high even when the boys don't do as well as they had wanted to.  These will be some of my favorite fall memories in the future, I just know it!
Lincoln was quarterback this game and I was so nervous for him! He had never played quarterback before and that is such a lot to know and a lot of pressure!
He however was cool as a cucumber and it wasn't too long before he ran in a touchdown. I was ecstatic and screaming while taking pictures doesn't result in very clear pictures, but it really was exciting!


McKay just tags along with all of the big kids.
Lincoln then ran in for another touchdown!
Josh came away so impressed with Lincoln and his "vision".
He was pretty thrilled with it all. Lincoln ended up getting 2 touchdowns and a 1-point conversion (they don't do two point conversions in flag).
To celebrate the great game we headed to The Pizza Factory for dinner.


I had never tasted their breadsticks before and they were just about the best bread I have ever had.
The boys also thought they were pretty great.
I am trying so hard to be in more of the pictures on here, but it is pretty hard when the pictures turn out like this...struggle.

McKay doesn't like that picture either.
