Evan

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

The day today seemed to be about Evan.  It started around 6am.  I was sleeping and I woke up to "Daddy, Daddy".  Evan was standing next to me at the bed.  He wanted to tell me he lost his 4th tooth. I think he woke up and it was about to come out so he pulled it out.

Rachel got up shortly after.  The Pink Ribbon Cowgirls were putting on a group garage sale to benefit the family of the woman who died a few months ago.  Since we hadn't sold everything, Rachel wanted to go bring some of the stuff over to donate and help out a bit.  She left the house around 7:30am.

I got up around 8:30 and got ready to take Evan to his first flag football practice of the season.  Noah got up around 9.  I got the boys ready and we left.  Evan seemed to really enjoy playing.  The boys all seemed nice, as did the parents.  The don't have the team name yet, but it appears it may be the Steelers.  Evan is very excited (so am I).

The practice lasted nearly an hour and a half. We came home after it and Rachel had lunch ready.  We all ate.  Rachel laid down for a nap while I did some work and the boys played on the Wii.  It's pretty muddy in our backyard from the rain we've been having.

At 4:00, I got Evan ready for his baseball game.  Noah and Rachel left to go help clean up from that garage sale.  They offered to pick up the leftover kids stuff.  Tomorrow we'll bring it to a second hand store and sell it and give the money to the family.

Evan had an absolutely great game today.  I guess having the practice in the morning didn't wear him out.  It started out when he was playing in left center.  The ball was hit to the fence.  He ran out and from the fence, threw over second base almost to the pitcher on the fly.  The pitcher grabbed it and it held the hitter to a triple.  In the bottom of the inning he got a solid hit which stayed in the infield but it was to deep short so the shortstop had no play.  In the top of the next inning, Evan was playing second.  He fielded a ground ball and fired a bullet to first for the out.  He almost got another out as he charged a short fly ball that the pitcher almost got and picked up and threw to first.  The next at bat he really hit a a long fly ball.  Unfortunately, the other team had their best fielder in left center and he caught the ball.  The bases were loaded at the time.  It would have cleared the bases.  His final at bat, he smacked a line drive that went between short and third and rolled to the fence for a double.  He seemed to really have a good time.

From baseball, we went to Cafe Express for dinner.  The boys ate ok there.

We're home now and the boys went quickly to bed.  I think they may already be asleep.

Until next time...

The Mall and Sports Class

This morning Noah and I went to the mall.  While we were gone we had our gutters cleaned.

After the mall we went to sports class.  Noah had fun and then we ate our picnic lunch outside at the park behind the little gym.

We came home for a little bit and then it was time to get Evan.

We rode the bike to get Evan, came home again for just a little while, and then went to get haircuts.

I took the boys to Cool Cuts 4 Kids.  That's the place we went last time where they get to play video games during their haircuts.  They were good there.

For dinner we had leftover chicken and couscous.

After dinner we took a walk.

The boys are ready for bed now and will hopefully go to sleep soon.

Oh, the Tooth Fairy is coming tonight.  Evan lost another tooth last night, but he wanted to bring it to school today.  That is his 3rd tooth that he has lost.

Evan Lost a Tooth!

This morning Noah and I went to Wonders and Worries. Ali gave Noah a box of toys to use when he gets mad/sad and a blanket to use when that happens too. Noah was very excited about the new stuff he got.

After that Noah and I had a picnic lunch at the Wildflower Park. Then, we went to the 12:30 class at the Little Gym. Noah really enjoyed that.

We came home and made smoothies and then left to get Evan.

Evan and Noah played together when we got home and then Blanca came over.

I tutored and got home around 5:45.

While we were getting dinner ready Evan came running in from the backyard. He pulled out his own loose tooth. It had been loose for weeks. You can see video and pics below.

For dinner we had steak and fish with corn on the cob.

The boys are upstairs cleaning up and then we'll put them to bed.
