Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Here's what we did the last few days.

Friday
The boys and I went to an indoor mini golf and laser tag place in Round Rock.   Then, we went to Charles Maund to sign the papers for the next 30 days for my car.

We ate at home for dinner and then walked to the food trailer night.  We didn't buy anything there.

Saturday
Evan had a birthday party to go to from 10-1.  While he was there Morry got new tires for his car.

I made challah.  I thought it would be something Noah and I could do together, but he preferred to play video games.

We ate an early dinner at TLC and then we to see the live musical, The Music Man.   It was very good.

Sunday
Morry and Evan met Evan's old coach, Chris at Oak Hill to play and practice baseball.

While they were gone I went for a run and then walked Chewie.

Shortly after getting home, Morry and Evan left to see Mission Impossible.  Noah already had plans later in the day to go to the movies with Jude.

Around 1pm I dropped Noah off at Jude's and they went to the afternoon showing of Mission Impossible.  After the movie, Noah went back to Jude's for a little bit.

I picked up Noah from Jude's and we all ate dinner at home.

The boys cleaned up and then we had dessert at Bahama Bucks.

Here are some pictures from the last few days.

Fun with Friends

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Calvin got Chewie up early, as he's been doing.  Rachel came down with them and fed the animals and let Chewie out.

I went to HomeAway this morning for a meeting.  Rachel took the boys to get some dress clothes.

Apparently, Evan and his friend Reid were planning to hang out today.  They talked and set everything up.  After going clothes shopping, Rachel dropped Evan off at Carter's house who was having both Reid and Evan over.  Reid's mom brought Evan home later in the afternoon.

When Rachel and Noah got home, Anelio came over.  Anelio was still here when I got home from HomeAway.

We had dinner at home and then walked to the Food Trailer Night.  We got snow cones while we were there.

The boys are upstairs and will be getting ready for bed soon.

Until next time...

Noah's Performance

This morning Morry dropped off Noah at camp.  

Later in the morning Morry took Evan to a baseball lesson.

Then, I met them at Wholy Bagel for lunch.

Evan went with me after to do some shopping for items they kids needed for camp.

At 4:00 we went to Noah's drama camp performance.  Each group did a little play.  Noah's group did a short version of Alice in Wonderland.  Noah was one of the narrators and memorized his script.  He did well.  He was loud enough for us to hear him clearly.

For dinner, we ate leftover chicken at home.

Then, we went to the food trailer night to get the kids dessert. They had shaved ice.

From there we went to HEB.

Now the kids should be getting ready for bed.

Here are some pictures from today.

Parties

This morning we walked to school.

Morry and I got bagels, went to Target, and then the vet to pick up cat food.

At noon, we went to a card reader.  It was for the blog series about taking chances and trying new things.  Neither of us had done that before.   It was interesting.  The guy read our stones and cards.  He was very optimistic with both of us.  We have great things in our future!  :)

We walked to pick up the boys from school.

Around 5:00 we went to our neighbor's house for a birthday party.

Wade's mom picked up Evan around 5:45 to bring him to his friend's birthday party.  Evan is still there now and should be coming home soon.

Morry, Noah, and I stayed at the party for a little while and then walked over to the Food Truck Night.  We ate dinner there.  Our food was just okay.  Noah got a shaved ice for dessert.

Now we are waiting for Evan to come home and then the boys will get ready for bed.

Grand Opening

This morning we walked the kids to school.

I was invited to the grand opening of the Soft Surroundings store here in Austin.  I brought Salina with me.  When we arrived, at about the time the store was opening, the line was around the corner.  They were giving away a free swag bag to the first 100 people.  Since we were on the media list we didn't have to wait in the line and got our own swag bags that were reserved for us.  It was a nice store, but we were by far the youngest people there.  There were lots of gray haired women and many walkers and canes - I'm not exaggerating.  The store is sort of like a Chico's or Coldwater Creek.  There were a lot of casual, comfortable, flowy types of clothing and some home accessories and beauty products.  They had champaign and macarons too.  Salina and I had a nice time.  We got a tour and one of the makeup consultants put some mascara and lip gloss on us.

On my way home I picked up the race packets for the Brain Power 5k on Sunday.

Morry got bagels for us while I was gone and we both got home around the same time.

We walked to get the kids and then Evan went to Wade's.  They later went to an indoor trampoline place.

For dinner, we ate at home and then went to the Food Trailer Night.  The only dessert they had was ice cream truck type popsicles, so we decided to go somewhere else for dessert.

We walked back home.  On the way home we chatted with some neighbors who were outside.

We ended up going to Cow Tipping Creamery for dessert. It was good, but Noah didn't eat much of his.

The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Here are some pictures from today.

Empty Wholy Bagel

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Rachel went to HEB this morning before we went to Wholy Bagel.  We needed a few things.

Once she got home, we went to Wholy Bagel. When we got there, at just after 11:30, they had just two everything bagels left.  That was it.  Rachel got one of the everything bagels and Noah got some lox.  Then we went across the street to Einstein Bros. Bagels and I got a pizza bagel, Evan got a cranberry bagel and Noah got a pretzel bagel.

Later in the afternoon, Evan went over to Jack's to go swimming.

We walked over and picked Evan up at dinner time and ate dinner at Grandma and Papa's house.

Then we went to the food trailer night and got Italian ice.  The food trailer night was not very crowded.  Papa came with us.

The boys are about to go to bed.

Until next time...

Everybody Loves Lizzy, Part 2

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

It was very overcast on our walk to school this morning, though it was still warm.

I stayed home all day.  I didn't have a meeting or go into Aaron's.

For lunch, Rachel and I went to Wholy Bagel.  We didn't get to go last Friday.  It was good to get back there.

We went to pick up Noah from school.  Evan went over Wade's house.  Wade's mom dropped Evan off at home around 5:30.

We had pasta for dinner.  Then we went to the Food Trailer Night for dessert.  We brought Lizzy again.  It was much more crowded this time.  The weather was cooler than a month ago.  I think that helped.  As soon as we got there, four girls surrounded Lizzy petting her.  She was very happy.  Later, we stopped for a second to decide where we were going to go.  This little girl holding a plate of pizza walked directly in front of Lizzy.  There were only inches between the girl and Lizzy's face.  The problem was that she was the right height for Lizzy's mouth.  The pizza on the plate passed just in front of Lizzy's mouth.  She opened to grab it but I noticed and I yanked her back at the last second.  Luckily the girl didn't lose her pizza to Lizzy.  We also so Yenis and Kevin.  Kevin was Evan's friend when he was 2 and 3 years old.  Evan didn't really remember Kevin but they walked around together.

We stopped at Grandma and Papa's on the way back.

The boys are getting ready for bed.

Until next time...

Everybody Loves The Pooch

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

The rain stopped in plenty of time for us to walk to school.  Lizzy came with us.  As usual, she had kids coming up to her while I waited for Rachel to walk the boys into school.

I left in the morning to go do some Your Trainer stuff.  Rachel stayed home most of the morning, but then left to pick up packets.  She and Noah are going to do an untimed 5K on Sunday.  Evan and I have to be at a scrimmage so we can't participate.

Rachel and I met at Wholy Bagel for lunch.

We didn't bring Lizzy to school in the afternoon.  It was still a bit too hot even though it was cooler than any day this week.

We made dinner here and then walked to the Food Trailer night for dessert.  This time we brought Lizzy.  Lizzy was very, very popular there.  Kids and parents alike were all petting her.  People we've seen but never talked to were all coming up to meet Lizzy.  She really liked all that attention.  She also liked the food that people had dropped on the ground.

On the way home, we stopped at Grandma and Papa's to check out the work being done.

The boys are in bed now.

Until next time...
