Fall Flag Football

Today was Conner's first football game.  Before the game began I didn't expect that there would be much of a game to watch where this is the first year a lot of these boys are playing but boy was I wrong.  Every single one of the coaches boys knew exactly what they were doing and they were good.  Conner having only been exposed to football three times in his life was a little lost at first.  Then he started to understand a little more but had a hard time keeping an eye on the football with so many boys on the field.  It was a little rough, but really I was so proud of him and most importantly, he had a lot of fun.  He likes football.  Hopefully in the next couple of games he will get a chance to be a bigger part of the plays. 

The fathers were so into the game, all of them huddled together on the side lines.  Apparently one of the coaches from the other team became mad and started saying some mean things when one of our coaches, whom is a very kind seminary teacher, went up to him and talked him down.  I stated to Brandon at the end of the game that they don't keep score and he responded "they don't, but we do".  Man, dad's can be very intense with their boys.  The game ended 5 to 3, us.  Their team name is "Cougars" and their color is navy blue.  Dad and Catherine, you would be so proud.  I love watching sports.

Our house is coming along . . . slowly.  That is fine with me because I have not had any time to pick out colors and such.  They finally started to frame our house last week.  Here is a photo.
