Thanksgiving in Arizona

Levi (2 1/2 years)

Tyson and I drove down to Arizona for the Thanksgiving holiday to visit 2 of my brothers, (Mike and Ben).  Mike and his wife, Jamie, just had their 5th child- a little boy they named Jacob.  He was only 2 days old-- so sweet and perfect.  Levi, who is 2 1/2 years old- I laugh every time I  look at these pictures of him with his belly sticking out! I wish it was still cute for someone my age to have a belly that big . . . .

You want me to put my hands where?!!

I ran 20 yards today!! Yes, I know-- running 20 yards doesn't sound all that impressive, however you have to know that these 20 yards were ran as I interwove around opponents, in 30 degree weather, while carrying a football, and having some very hefty women trying to tackle me. Oh and just prior to running the 20 yards, I had been sacked twice by those women. 

(For some odd reason, my coaches decided to put me as quarterback today- a position I really know very little about and one that I have never played before in my life- and from my overall performance, you could definitely tell how new I was.) 

Oh, and why hasn't anyone mentioned where my hands must be in order to get a snap?!  Yikes- Tyson was laughing from the sidelines when he saw my reaction to the coaches instruction on that.  I'm just not used to being that up close and personal.  If you don't know what I'm talking about-- ask someone who knows football and you'll understand why I was a little squimish about it- or maybe this cartoon will give you an idea.
