OK Please don't go into hysterics. No, we have not turned in our boots for cleats, but yes, it is true, we are letting Landon play football. Now, before you stop breathing let me explain. It is flag football, and yes, he did tear up when we told him that he was going to get to play on the same team with one of his best buds in the whole world, Mason. This is probably the only time they will ever get to play on the same team since they play different sports and are in different grades. Who's Mason? Well, he's the best flag puller on the team. He had more tackles than any other kid on the team in the game last Saturday. He's the one a head taller than the other kids, and a grade younger than them too. 
Well, Landon had missed the first 2 practices so the coach only gave him the ball 2 times the entire game. The first was an incomplete pass. The last play of the game the coach asks Landon if he could run fast? Landon said yes, so the coach had Landon get the handoff for the final play of the game. He ran to the right, did a little juke, and beat the last man, "HE COULD GO ALL THE WAY!" TOUCHDOWN!!! He scored the 2nd TD of the game. Way to go Lando!
Landon and Mason after the game. They only had 5 players because the rest of the team had the swine flu. Yikes. They played a man down for half of the game. Way to go you 2. You did great. They had a blast.

He was having so much fun that he rarely stopped jumping up and down with excitement the entire game. He beat four defenders before he went the distance.
way to go landon... wish we could have been there to watch.
he is a blake/kelly so we aren't too surprised. he truly is a gifted athlete. but please, keep him in soccer. the mls needs some good players and the nfl is boring.
Harrison and I are not surprised either ... what a stud.
