Pee Wee

This year Ledger was able to participate in Pee Wee Flag Football. Since the other 2 boys were playing we figured what the heck! What a season it was. The first few games, Ledger had major mouth guard issues. Mouth guards just aren't made to fit in such little mouths. Then, Ledger had issues with scoring touchdowns for the other teams. Since all we tell Ledger each week is, "Don't let them pull your flag, " Ledger runs in the opposite direction. And he doesn't stop running. After he would get to the end zone, he would turn around and run back. It was the dang funniest thing you've ever seen. The Seahawks were definitely the cutest players on the field each week.
Yep...this would be the hand off. As you can see, there is a lot of thought put into it.
Now run Ledger! Run!
Ledger was the best snapper on the team. Since there was no running involved in this position, it was perfect for Ledger!
Oh I know what your thinking when you look at this picture. Ledger looks like a professional flag foot ball player. Trust me folks, it's like everything is in slow motion when watching these games. Two 20 minute halves never took so long!
Ledger's first flag football season was fun and definitely entertaining! I have to say that by the end of the season, he was really getting the hang of how it all works. Can't wait to see how next season goes.

Go Falcons!! Go Bengals!!

Have I mentioned yet that all three of my boys have been playing flag football this season? Oh my has it been fun! On Saturday, Brody and Case played in the championships. Since Ledger was only in Pee Wee's, they didn't have to play which was a good think because between Brody and Case, we were at the football field from 8:30 am till 5:30 pm. During that entire time, we only had a half hour where no one was playing. It was a long but fun day of football.
Brody had a great team this season. They only lost one game all year and that was to the Patriots. The boys on his team have been playing together for the past 4 years so they are good. Brody did super this year and really learned about the game. He is not the most aggressive player on the team but he did have fun socially.
Brody made the extra point for his team on Saturday. It was awesome even though he almost dropped the ball!
TOUCHDOWN!!
Good game Bengals!
Running through the tunnel was the highlight of the game.
That and Kohl yelling, "Who are We?" "BENGALS!!!!" "Who Are We?" "BENGALS!!"
The Bengals ended up taking 3rd place in the 7-8 year old group. They did super and had a great time together. This is an awesome group of boys.
Coach Leo was super. He is so patient and good with the boys.
Love that Jackson and Brody get to play on so many teams together.
We love our Bengal!
Case's team, the Falcons were undefeated this season. These 5 and 6 year old boys won every game in the playoffs and were the champions of their division. Like Brody's team, these boys have been playing for many seasons together. Being that Case is super aggressive and fast, he fit in great with these boys and was a great asset to the team. I would say that he is the best flag grabber on the team. The kid is quick!
"Ladies and Gentlemen...The 2011 Flag Football 5-6 year old CHAMPIONS!!"
Coach Jared and Coach B.J. Were awesome! We were so lucky to have great coaches and team mates this year. It really was an ideal situation have coaches that met at the same time and practiced together at the same place. I was amazed at the patience the coaches had this year. They really had the boys working and learning the game of flag football. We have already signed up for next season so hopefully we will be this lucky again.
Case, you are always making me laugh.
Now get your flags on and go play some foot ball!
So this is what our Saturday looked like...
9:00 Case first game
10:00 Brody first game
11:00 Case second game
12:30 Case third game
1:30 Brody second game
2:30 Brody third game
3:30 Brody fourth game

What did you do on Saturday?
