Touchdown Evan

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan's football game wasn't until 11 this morning so we slept in some.  He had to be at the fields at 10:30.  Noah came with us.

Evan's team got the ball first.  The first pass of the game was thrown to Evan.  He managed to make the first guy miss. As the first guy fell, though, he hit Evan's foot which caused Evan to lose his balance.  Evan caught himself but it was enough time for the other defenders to come over and pull his flag.  The third play of the game they threw to Evan in the middle of the field.  He made the first guy miss again, hit the sidelines and ran all the way for a touchdown.  Unfortunately, there was an offside penalty on Evan's team so it didn't count.  The other team got the ball but were stopped with a 3 and out.  Evan's team got the ball.  They tried the exact same pass as the one that scored the touchdown that was called back.  This time the defender and Evan jumped up to get the ball and it was tipped in the air.  Evan came down with the tip, ran to the side and then turned it up and ran all the way for a touchdown again.  This time it counted.  He was really happy.  He didn't get another touchdown.  But when he played on defense he blitzed the quarterback and forced a bad throw that led to a pick-6.  He was very happy with the game.

Evan, Noah and I stopped at Smoothie King for smoothies on the way home.

Rachel had left to go to a baby shower for Lauren up in Round Rock.  She stopped at Ikea to return something while she was up there.

Grandma and Papa came in today but they went straight to their house to drop stuff off and look at the house.  Rachel was on her way home from the shower.  I had to take Evan and Jack to Wade's birthday party.  I was going to leave Noah at the house alone because Rachel was going to be home shortly.  Grandma called him and asked if he wanted to walk to their house.  So they met half way.  Noah left the house on his own.  He set the alarm correctly.  And met Grandma half way.  He then was worried that I'd get back from dropping Evan off and be worried he wasn't there.  So he made sure that Grandma called me so I knew where he was.  Noah is really becoming a grown up.

For dinner, we went to Flores restaurant.  It was just ok.  Evan is staying at Wade's house tonight.  I will get him early for our baseball games tomorrow.

Until next time...

Math Pentathalon

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, we walked the boys to school.  Grandmom said goodbye to the boys but did not walk with us.

Later in the morning, I took Grandmom to the airport.

For lunch, I met an old friend at Flores.  We had a nice time reconnecting.

Rachel went to a luncheon for a woman here in Circle C that was having her 5-year cancerversary.  When the woman was diagnosed some people connected Rachel with this woman so Rachel could offer advice.  Ironically, Noah and her son became buddies last year at school.  Rachel said it was a very nice luncheon.

Rachel tutored while I picked up Evan from school.  Noah stayed after because he joined the Math Pentathalon team.  They practice once a week for a while and then there is some tournament where they compete against other schools in April.  Rachel and I are both really proud that Noah decided to join.  He's with his buddy Owen.

Rachel had more students than normal so Noah came with me to Evan's football practice.  At the end of practice, Noah ran around with playing with the team.

We had pasta and leftovers for dinner.

The boys are in bed now.

Until next time...

Wildflower Center Morning

This morning we took it easy and then decided to head over to the Wildflower Center.  They were having a free event there today, Tree Talk Winter Walk, with lots of kids activities.   The boys had a great time and the weather was nice.  They got to roast marshmallows, swing in the trees, climb trees, build forts, and learn about trees.  It was a nice morning.

We came home and ate our leftovers from last night.

Morry and Evan left to go to Evan's football practice.

When they got home Morry put on the movie Paul Blart Mall Cop.  The boys really liked it.

For dinner we went to Flores.  A new one opened near us.  The boys ate well.  The food was good.

We are home now and soon the boys will get ready for bed.

Here are some pictures from the Wildflower Center.
