Chase's First Pep Rally

Chase finished his first football season this weekend, but we started the day with a pep rally! It was fun, but the best part of it was explaining to him what a pep rally is - that it was all about team spirit, etc. They ran through a run through...
watched the cheerleaders perform some cheers...
and even joined them for their typical half-time routine!
We decorated the cars, and everyone got into it!
Then, we took off in a caravan of purple and gold - ready for the game! It was a fun season, but I'm ready for a little break!!

Go Vikings!

Chase had his first real football game last week. It was so confusing for all of us! There were two teams on one regular-sized football field, each with 40 yards! So, the boys attention was divided between their game, the other game, and oh so many cheerleaders!! We were excited that Mrs. Susan came to see us. She dressed in purple and came bearing gifts! The kids had a blast (and lots of snacks)!

I think Chase was more excited about the cheerleaders than his actual game. This is our neighbor, Jillian. She and Chase were so excited to be on the same "team".

This isn't Chase, but I love how proud these boys are of the flags they just took!
Just the girls...

Are you ready for some football?

Check out this season's newest flag football player...At 48 pounds, he stands just under 4 feet and has a mean face that will make you cry!

Taking down the giant...Check Chase out holding that big guy! He has at least 2 years and 20 pounds on him!
Sir, yes sir!
I'm coming for you...
Maggie and Uncle Glen got to see Chase's first scrimmage! We were so excited they came for the weekend!
Good game! Vikings Rule!
