The Gladiators beat the Eagles!






Cooper had his first football game this afternoon and his team (the Gladiators) won! Cooper played the position of cornerback and did very well. He is one of the smaller guys on the team but played tough and seemed to hold his own. He even made the first tackle of the game and season. It was really fun to watch him play! He got clipped towards the end of the game (which the refs didn't call despite the parents' complaints) so his back kind of hurts tonight. Grandma Gunnerson and Grandpa and Grandma Parker were able to come watch Cooper play which made him happy. We had to be there over an hour before the game even started so John got a little bored, but thankfully he had his Nintendo to keep him company. As you can see from the picts, he played it with his head in his shirt because of the bright sun. Pretty clever, that John! Ella and Seth seemed to enjoy themselves even with the long time we were at the field. They chased each other around and Seth practiced his somersaults. He has been trying to do those lately for some reason, it's cute to watch. Here are a few of our pictures from today.

Brian loved all these fun football pictures. He looked at them first, then called me from work to tell me to have a look. Way to go, Cooper!
