Last First Day of School Kind Of

Whitney is in 9th grade this year and is taking daily early-morning seminary (7:15-8:00) and started on the first day of school, so we were rushing out the door and Landon hadn't even gotten out of bed yet so this is our first year not having a photo of them together on the first day of school.

I took this picture of Landon on the 3rd day of school because I was gone before he got ready in the morning on the other two days. He was dressed up because they had a football game that night. I can't believe he's a senior already!

Friday Night Lights--Caveman Style!!!

Friday August 21st was the first home game of the season (though it didn't count toward our record because it was an out-of-district team).

Landon started Varsity! We were so excited. We never saw tackle football as a real possibility for him (remember the years of flag football?) and didn't think starting Varsity was in his future either, but booya!

He's #55 and plays Left Guard on Offense.

He's got to hydrate.

Boom!

As a fundraiser the boosters had parents write a tribute to their son to be included in the home game programs, but I gave Landon the option of writing one to his teammates instead.

It was a fun game, especially because we won!

We love football season!

We surprised Landon with these customized shirts which we will be wearing all season.
