Our little "big" football player

this is our football player. he's pretty excited for football camp in july. yes, they play full pads. it's actually really cute to see them all out there on the fields. all these little guys look like little big football players. after football camp, they'll have a draft and we'll see which team kurtis will be on. we're all hoping kurtis will love and flurish in the sport!! doesn't he look adorable in these pads??!! this is just his practice jersey and pants. his uniform will be here this fall in time for the games. he will get to ride on a float in the homecoming parade. he's excited about that. he'll also get to wear his jersey to school on game days. chuck and i decided to go ahead and get him in the program, because here, they are really serious about football. if he doesn't play now, then later, he'll be inexperienced and most likely will not be able to get on a team. you gotta start'em out early. so we'll be posting pics of camp and games as they come!

Football!! WHOHOO!! You're just preparing him for a game against Boise State one dad, eh? Hee hee. :D Steven will be jealous..he wants to be in football so bad. I bet Kurtis is hot in that uniform. Can't wait to see/hear about the games. Go Kurty!!

How cute is Kurtis in his football gear! I hope he really enjoys playing football. He should be good at it. He is strong and has good motor skills.
What a good mom to get him started early so he can make the teams he wants to be on. That is the only way anyone gets really good at sports these days.
Enjoy the rest of your day!

Aw! He looks so cute!!! These little are just my fave...you know Casey coaches with his brother for our nephew's little league team? He LOVES it!
Hopefully we'll see Kurtie in crimson & cream in the future!

Love the football gear! Your kids are adorable and you guys look like you're doing well! We sure miss you...we had the Campbells and Huismans over today for swimming and BBQ...
Our group has really disbanded. :(

I love that he's playing football! I haven't looked at your blog for a while, and I have to say that your kids keep me laughing! I love Blake talking about Kurtis serving the devil and then a day or two later telling some lady to get her butt out of his face! Your life is full of excitement! Love you! Mandy

Wow that a pretty serious football program. Heck people there probably only send their kids to school so they can play football, who cares if they talk pretty. Maybe footballs like an incentive program to get them to go to school. Kurtis looks so proud of himself.
