Here is the group Aaron went with to the "Twirps" dance (the other picture I took is in an earlier post). Unfortunately Aaron's date was in the bathroom when this picture was taken, but it's all I've got!
I thought I was done posting pictures from Jonathan's football season this fall after my last post. However, we went to Jonathan's football banquet a few nights ago, and his coach's wife gave us a disc with over a hundred incredible pictures on it! Her camera takes wonderful pictures, and of course I didn't post all of them here, but they were so good that I had to post some of them ;). Warning--this may be a post that only grandparents will find interesting!! Oh, and Jonathan was very surprised and excited to win the "Lonnie Eagleson" (hope that's spelled correctly) award as well (they only award it to 3 players each year, so it's a big deal for him). Anyway, in the above picture, the team is walking onto the field before a game...
Here they're lined up before a game for the Star Spangled banner--Jonathan is #77.
OK, the above picture is Jonathan's *favorite* picture of the whole season (we also have it up on our refridgerator!). He is the one running in the middle in front of the ball carrier--notice that his feet are completely off the ground! He was "pulling" or running ahead of the ball carrier and blocking for him.
Here's #77 on the field during a game--look how wet and sweaty he is! I can't even imagine how hot they get running around in all that gear in August and September!
Here he is in the thick of it-he's sort of in the middle (you can spot him by the "77" on his shoulder).
Here he is again, well his back, anyway!
And here is his back again....
He really likes this one as well--he is one of the players on the right blocking the player (#45) from the other team (if you look closely, you can spot his brown arms!!).
And here he is on the far right, blocking #54. We aren't proud of him because he plays football, but we are very proud of his determination and earnestness and how he puts 200% into everything he does. The coaches noticed this as well, and remarked that his enthusiasm was contagious. He had a great season this year, and we're hoping he'll have many more to come (although we're not sure if his plans to go straight to USC will materialize!!).
Here is Aaron and his best friend, Nick, outside Hula's restaurant before going to the "Twerps" dance put on by Nick's high school. For this dance, the girls ask the boys and pay for everything, so Aaron and Nick were pretty lucky to be at Hula's restaurant (we heard that a lot of the girls took their dates to the In N Out!). I would've taken more pictures, but didn't want to go into Hula's and embarrass the girls by taking tons of pictures (and of course I didn't follow them to the dance). So this picture is the best I have!
Sports, on the other hand, of course are instant photo opportunities, except when the sun goes down. Anyway, even though you can't see much, Jonathan is in the photo above!
This is at the beginning of the game, where the team captains are meeting. Jonathan was one of them--he's #77.
The pre-game huddle...
And here's Jonathan at the water table--he's the only tall, dark, and handsome one there ;). We're really proud of how much effort he's put into this; last year he was a rookie, and this year he started and played a lot. He loves football and is looking forward to many more seasons to come!
