Dylan & Dallas -- Football 2009

DALLAS - #34

Dallas has been loving football this year. He is one of the receivers for the team. He made an awesome catch in one of the games...brings tears to my eyes that my boys are this old. :) Dallas has been very dedicated to football this year and never complaining about the practices or the running. He is a great kid!!

DYLAN - #44
Dylan has also been loving football. Although, he is the one that complains about having to run at practice. I think I would too. He has been working very hard this year. He has been playing Defensive End on starting Defense. He has been doing awesome. In the last game, he had many awesome tackles. He did such a great job that they named him Dominator of the game. So he gets to wear that jersey to practice for the next week. He came home yesterday so excited because they are putting him in as Tight End on the Offense.

Having twins playing on the same team can be a bit of a struggle with competition. Dylan is a lot more aggressive than Dallas and gets a lot more playing time. It doesn't seem to affect Dallas and he is very happy for his brother. But it can be very hard as a parent to make sure that you are congratulating both. It made me sad when at the end of the last game, one of their team mates came up to Dallas and said, "Good job Rodabough!" Well Dallas knew that he meant to do that to Dylan and said, "It's not me...I'm Dallas." Dallas takes it like a champ. It doesn't seem to bother him. But I know that if the tables were turned and Dallas was playing more than Dylan....Dylan would have a hard time with it. They have totally different personalities...so crazy..but they are the greatest boys!!

I have been a bad blogger lately...so here is catch up!

Tyler - Football 2009

TYLER - #32

This was Tyler's first year of playing tackle football. He realized it was a much bigger commitment than flag football where there were no practices. We were trying to decide what team to put him on. He is in 3rd grade but should be in 2nd. So did he want to play with his friends that would be twice his size or did he want to play with his age and not know anyone. Well he chose to play for the 3rd grade team. He struggled because a lot of the kids had already played for at least one other year. So getting used to the many, many practices was hard for him. But he has been having a lot of fun. He is usually going up against kids twice his size but that doesn't scare him. He has no fear.
