In 2003, Ryan and our good friend Brody put together a team for a flag football league that plays at West Jordan Middle School once a week. Many of the guys were Ryan's football & track friends in high school and a couple of years ago, Zane G. joined the team. Through the years, we girls would go sit on the sidelines and cheer on the lame sounding "Air Terror", "Fat Astronauts", "Armadillos" and currently "Renegades" (team names seemed to get better as the years went by). However, the guys remained ever so dedicated and took home the championship a couple years ago. Yes, this is a flag football league but you must understand it is taken very seriously. Whenever our team lost, we wives would give each other looks saying, "Good luck on the drive home and the rest of the day for that matter" (ha ha). We could expect some silence and pure disappointment from our guys who would be thinking of ways they felt they could have played better. I must say however, I always felt a sense of pride being one of the wives of this team. These guys have the best sportsmanship on the field and are very respectful to each other--plus they are awesome to watch! It's no wonder we showed up on the coldest of days (bundled up in parkas and blankets) and the hottest of days (under the big blue canopy with cold water misters). At least, that's how it was until we all started having kids...
Though some of the team mates have come and gone, many still play however it is hit and miss which of the girls will make it. Life sure gets busy after these little ones come! So, this last weekend, Nate and Jess had us all over to their place for a get-together. It is so fun to see the kids growing up. They are just too cute! The house was full of kiddos running around--crazy that they are ours!
Look at these little munchkins!
