Lehi Pioneers Number 14! Or is that #14 Orem?

Ashton played his first year of tackle football this year.  He has played a few years of flag football and many years in baseball which we think is his sports calling.  But for now he is trying tackle football as well.  He mostly played defense.  At first you could tell he was afraid of getting hit and getting hurt. After quite a few conversations with him (mostly about how he would get hurt MORE if he didn't hit someone first) he finally got in the game.  There might be something wrong with hearing parents tell their children to go hit somebody...or should I say "You know you are a football parent when you yell at your kid to GO HIT SOMEONE!" Yeah-that was us...so for 3 months and almost every Saturday Shon and I ventured out for football.  

David was also playing flag football for Orem at the same time...so we have some schedule juggling and lots of calls to Grandma Frary to see if she could be at one while we try to get to the other...

When Dave was picking his jersey for Orem they had a number 14. Well Dave already knew that Ashton's jersey was number 14. So Dave snatched up that number as fast as he could! The shirt was a little larger, but he thought it was well worth it to have the same number as his brother! I love my football boys!

 We liked to call this one of David's game "hearding chickens".

 Going for the touchdown!

 Group huddle--and this is where you can see he has the same butt as his daddy...

It was a good year in football. Dave's team won a couple of their games and Ashton's team went to game 1 of the play-offs and lost. Here's to next season!
