Yup...really. Maxwell played tackle football for the first time this year. His neck looked skinnier than ever when he was in full uniform! He played on the Stryker Orthopedic team again, and they went undefeated again. They manhandled every other team. I can't believe I'm using the word manhandled in the same sentence as 4th grade football! Max (#61) mostly played cornerback and learned the position quite well. He had some great tackles and two interceptions. Toward the end of the season the coach decided to mix things up a bit, which I think is pretty important in 4th grade football, so Max was able to play quarterback a little bit and had several good runs. They got to play on the Boise State blue turf during their opening scrimmage, which was pretty exciting. I also loved watching Max's face as he would come through the tunnel created by the fans after each game. I wish this tradition would continue on through high school, because it gives me an opportunity to slap Max's bootie and see a huge smile on that adorable, sweaty face! The Stryker team also had the best, and biggest, coaching staff, complete with matching shirts and one really hot guy named Steve!

Wow! Max looks like a champion and Steve looks like an almost legit coach (if he had a whistle and his shorts were shorter)
Joe and I really liked seeing this post! Joe kept talking Max up. What an athlete! Adorable pics. We love you guys!
