My 2 Sons...

are very different indeed. I love them both dearly for their strengths and their endearing qualities. Cobe had a very successful morning at football. He claimed to have 12 tackles on defense (which he plays cornerback) which Ryan attested to, and he SCORED HIS FIRST TOUCHDOWN!!!!! He had a 25 yard run on the 2nd to last play of the last game. Not many touchdowns were scored today by any of the teams, so this was huge for him!!!! They played 4 different Byron Center teams and won 3 and tied 1 game zero-zero. No touchdowns were scored by the Byron Center- they held those guys back with their staunch defense and big hits. Cobe is hooked!!!


Here is my little man. Yep- he is the littlest guy on the team, but that didn't stop him one bit!

Here is the intimidator!
Here is Cobra running his 25 yards for the TD.
He had to outwit, outrun, outplay the big ole Byron Center guys with his blazing speed. (If you can't tell, Ryan is helping me compose this post.)

And then there is Brooks with his endearing qualities. I could just eat him up.... most of the time! But for some reason, he has stubbornly decided that he is NOT going to play soccer. So I thought I would capture his 1st game in pictures so he could look back one day and laugh.
Guess which one Brooks is? Hint: The one with his head down crying his eyes out.
Poor coaches did their best trying to convince Brooks to play. He wasn't buying it!
He spent his entire game on the sidelines watching. When I left to go to Cobe's game, Ryan said they did physically pick him up and put him on the field. Brooks sat on the field Indian-style as the clump of kids ran around him. Haha I wish I had been there to see that... NOT!!!!

Poor buddy! Does he just have a nervous tummy and get uptight being where so many people are watching him. He is so darn cute! Congratulations to Cobe on his good game!

Poor little Brooks! That is exactly what Cole did his first year! And YAY for Cobe! That is awesome! I can't wait for football although I don't think we'll ever be able to admire anyone's "blazing speed".

OMG Pooooooor Brooks! I'm laughing at the thought of him sitting on the field though... it is kinda funny! Yeah for Cobe too! Sounds like the first "game" was a big success! I need to get a schedule from you!
