Football

Football. Not quite sure how I feel about this sport yet.  This is Jace's body after only 2 weeks of practice.  But he is loving every minute of it.  He thinks it's so cool and loves to count his bruises every night.  I on the other hand get more and more sick when the numbers go up.  But I do have to say, the black eye is NOT from football, that one was from soccer.  Jace dived into the pole when he was playing goalie.  GEEZ!

Gage is also playing football and he is a monster out there. ( his dad is very proud)  He often comes over to show us how much sweat is dripping off his head.  To him that means he is working and playing super hard.  He is so fast and loves to hit and knock down boys twice his size.

Clay is not into the football scene, too much running in the heat for him.  Clay has been swimming all summer long.  He is working towards a big goal of making the swim team.  He has worked very hard.  Clay is now getting into the harder strokes, the butterfly and breast stroke.  Swim lessons are over for the summer and he is pretty sad about it, we might have to get him into some private lessons that are offered so he can get to his goal quicker. 

The big pool that we bought this year was one of the best things we did for the kids this summer.  They are in it every single day.  And they seem to really get along when they are swimming together.  The summer is going by way too fast, this is my favorite season and it never lasts long enough.
