Who Knew!!!!

Derek had another football game tonight- We knew he could catch . . . . he is a wide reciever - We knew he could tackle . . . . he is a linebacker - But what we didn't know is he can also kick! Our Kickers were out for various reasons and when we showed up to the game tonight guess who was kicking off? Yep - Derek! He also had 3 PATs! After the game he told us he was as surprised as we were! HEHEHEHE I guess his younger years as a soccer player really payed off! Here he is setting up the ball for the Kick off! He did great! I know I shouldn't be surprised but when you have watched your son play football for 6 years - And have never seen him Kick the ball - I was a little worried!
Here he is with one of his Extra points!

Wow he is quite the athlete! Some of the byu kickers can't even kick very well!

He is becoming quite the well rounded football player, not in size of course but in experience;)

That's cool. You never know what hidden talents your kids have. Hey Steve and Rachel, I overheard a teacher at my school talking about her niece being a college recruiter and asked her what college. She said U of Idaho. Her name is Ashley Carlon. I told her to ask if she knew Dr. Pennington, and she replied that she had a surgery by a doctor in the same group or office. She knew you were the team Dr., too. Small world huh? Uncle John T.
