sam's first football practice in full gear

sam was pretty excited today for football practice!! he got to wear his helmet and pads for the first time!!!
we put on the pants and he was like - oh yeah!!!

then the pads and he was still excited....... then the shoes and the helmet and the mouth guard and he was like - mom i cant move..... i dont like this!!! poor kid!!! here he is all decked out.......




here he is making his first tackle - he even stripped the ball from the other guy when he was spinning him around!!! looks like there might be some potential here!!!

and here he is carrying the ball for the first time in full gear...... he got past the defender!!! go sam!!!
