McKay Midway Football vs Lanier (Game 1)

We all were so excited for McKay's first official football game.  We have definitely been missing sports.  They played they Lanier Lions and won 32-0
McKay got to be one of the team captains for this game.
McKay loves his coaches this year and is learning so much



My favorite thing they do is the prayer before the game each week.
Team captains
McKay got to play offense, defense, and special teams


This picture of this huge kid coming after Palmer freaks me out a little...

I love that McKay waves at me as he comes out.  He also asked me if I called him bunny when I cheered.  He was disappointed when he found out I didn't.




One of my favorite moments
 





McKay had a couple of great tackles I didn't get pictures of because they weren't on my side of the field.  It was a good first game!

1st Day of School 2020

ABC pancakes and egg owls are the traditional Nelson breakfast for the 1st day of school.  We felt so lucky even to be going to school this year, since the boys hadn't been to school since March.
McKay was dying to wear his fake glasses to school, but the mask made them steam up and it drove him crazy.  He ended up ditching them.
All ready for freshman year!
Sophomore
Junior

Palmer and Lincoln had to wear their SGA shirts so they could help people find their classes.  
High school kids all ready to go.
McKay headed to his last year of elementary school!  

For dinner that night we had our traditional back to school feast.

I'm not sure where Palmer was...but it was a great first day back!

Palmer Back to School Pictures

Palmer was working when we did back to school pictures, but luckily we got him when he got home from work. 

You can tell how cooperative the boys were based on how many pictures I have of them...






I can't believe this boy is a junior!  He is in for a super busy year with everything he is doing.  Good thing he's a go getter!

Lincoln Back to School Pictures


Another teenager not too excited about taking pictures with me, but he was a pretty good sport. 
I sure love this boy and his smolder.
