Whoa! Football is nuts!

So, Colten has been in love with football since he was a baby. He got his first football helmet when his little brother, Sam, was born, and ever since then he hasn't been afraid to tackle the guts out of anyone. When we noticed that since he was in 2nd grade and was now eligible to play tackle football on the Morgan team, we were a little nervous. We just don't want him to get burnt out from the 2 hour practices they hold 5 days a week, and the 2-hour games every Saturday. So we tried to paint a gruesome picture for him about how hard you have to work to be on the football team (in hopes that he might want to just wait a couple of years), but in the end, he was signed up and DYING to start playing! I never heard one complaint out of his mouth throughout the whole 2 months of this insane schedule. To him, nothing else mattered but football. It was a great experience, and I really enjoyed watching him do what he loves most!


Here's Cole with his friend, Trey.
They won 5 out of 7 games!!!! Pretty good for a group of "first years"!
Here's Cole with his buddy, Bowen.
Dad was right there with him every step of the way for all his games. I think he enjoyed it as much as Colten did!

My little man is always good for a wave when he's playing!


Grandma Kat and Grandpa Art came up from Sandy to watch one of his games!
Colten was really fun to watch!
