Flag Football

Landon has been on a Flag Football team this year and has really enjoyed it. There are 6 on a team with the coach being the QB. Landon has developed a good set of hands and has caught a couple of touchdown passes. We usually play two games a night. Here are some pictures of our last games of the season.
The coach is Matt Hanson - who is the son of the Best Man at my Dad's wedding. This is warmups and Matt giving his son Andy a pep talk.

I have heard that a person needs to be able to laugh at himself on occasion. Well.......

Here is Landon getting ready to "pull some flags."

Landon after taking a handoff and heading for the endzone!

This one is hard to see, but Landon is heading for the endzone after making a great catch.

Getting a well deserved drink at half time of the second game.


Asst coach Bingham and Landon. By the way - when did my forehead grow an inch and sprout wings!?

The ball is in the air....

Landon made a dive but it looks like the other team scored. However, a little while later in this game, Landon made a great angle pursuit and made a diving tackle (flag pull) at full speed to stop a touchdown. I could not help but let out a big "YES" when he pulled it!

The team with their pizza after the game. Notice anything on the yellow ball and the cheesy grin on Matt's face?
Matt feeling pretty good about getting "BYU" into the picture above. We give each other a hard time about Utah State and YBU. I would sure love to be able to give him a call this Friday night and return the favor!
