Rolling out

Alex rolls out to pass during the Spartans scrimmage against Perry Hall Wednesday, Aug. 17, 2011, in Towson. Alex had a great game: some good runs, one pass completion, two receptions, and one interception. Well done Alex.

Brady gets his first "pick"

Brady #4, celebrates with teammates after picking off a pass during the Spartans scrimmage against Perry Hall on Saturday. Awesome!

Going head to head!

Luke, playing for the clinic Towson Spartans in his first ever football game, makes a tackle against Perry Hall during the team's scrimmage on Saturday. He played against some older kids and really did well, should be fun year as all of the boys are playing this year.

The boys.....

Left to right: Tyler, Alex, Brady, and Luke.

Luke the little piggy!

Zoo clowns

The boys goofing off at the zoo before we went and watched the monkeys pee from the branches. Always good for a laugh.

And they just keep growing....

Luke, Brady, Alex, and Tyler, (L to R) posing for me before heading out for my birthday lunch in the lovely Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore yesterday. A good day for sure.

The big man steps up.........

Finally, football season is here!

Finally, football season is here, and for the first time, all four of the boys are playing. Tyler is playing for the Towson High School JV team, and the other three are playing for the TRC football program. For once it's nice to sit back and relax and watch them all practice instead of chasing one of them around begging for food. Should be a long but fun season. Above, Luke, in his first year, takes a hand off from a coach while big brother Tyler, far left, keeps an eye on the drill.
