What position does he play?? I have no idea. He seems to be running all over the place, so I really can't tell where he's supposed to be (and really, I wonder if HE knows where he should be!). They only have 15 kids on the team, so he gets to play both offense and defense. He's in almost every play of the game and completely exhausted by the time it's over. (Especially with the 90 degree weather that we still have) He doesn't care that he's tired and hot and stinky and thirsty. He just cares that he gets to tackle other kids and carry the ball up the field.
I love that he's athletic (even though it makes my life completely hairy and hectic) and will try anything. He takes it all very seriously and has even cut out drinking pop (because the coach said so!) and doing drills in the back yard. He's having fun and someday I will look back, I'm sure, and miss the days when we didn't eat dinner at home for a month because we were at games or practices!!

Tanner plays football too, and I love watching him. It's pretty much all over they can start playing tackle football in 3rd grade, I think it helps with getting their anger out!!LOL He looks cute in his uniform.
I watched Tanner play last week. They didn't have any numbers on their jerseys, so we didn't know which one he was. Kristi told him that and he said, "Look for the tall, handsome one!" That boy is going to be a heartbreaker. It's fun to watch them, even though I have no idea what they are doing most of the time. It's good for them to be involved in sports, keeps them out of trouble. He'll remember playing football, not what you had for dinner. Love you.
I would love to watch him play too. Man we miss a lot being down here. I hope Isaiah follows in his footsteps...he looks up to his older cousins so much.
Hope you guys are getting your costumes ready for our Halloween Party.
You're a good mom to let you little boy get his @$$ kicked. Hope you've got insurance. Kidding. He will have a blast. Where else can you throw down another kid and not get in trouble? Go Jake!!
Wow..full tackle football. I'd be nervous too! Cade just started flag football and has his first game tonight!
