Birthday Party for the Boys

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

I feel like we were moving nonstop today.  We were both getting ready for the boys' birthday party as well as getting ready for our visitors this week.

We had a set of tasks that we needed to get done.  I had to replace the filters in the refrigerator as well as the air filters.  I needed to clean my office and fix a board in the fence.  Rachel got all the drinks ready in the coolers, ran out to Sam's Club and got the pie and cookie cake and pack the car to go to the party.  We also cleaned up some as well as cooked lunch for the boys.

We got to the location for the party about 10 minutes early and unloaded the car.  It wasn't long before everyone got there.  We had somewhere between 25-30 kids.  The started out playing flag football.  I joined in towards the end of that game.  Then they played kickball.

We took an intermission and had cake and pie.

Then we went back at it for a parents vs kids dodgeball.  It was like Braveheart.  The kid army was tremendous.  The parents decided not to paint our face though.

Reid came home with us after the party and the boys had a good time.

For dinner we had some leftovers and pasta.  We also watched Lemony Snicket on Netflix.

The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Until next time...

Evan's Birthday

Today was Evan's 11th birthday.

We walked to school.

Then, I went to pick up donuts.

We had the cleaning company come to clean our house this morning.

I went back out again to Sam's Club to pick up some things for the kids' party this weekend.

Then, Morry and I went to lunch at Evan's school and passed out donuts to his friends.

We were home for a little while and then it was time to pick up the kids.  We walked to pick them up.

I left the house for tutoring around 3:30.  Morry dropped off Noah at Grandma's around 4pm and then took Evan to practice.

I picked up Noah around 5:30.

Morry and Evan got home around 7pm.

Then, we picked up Grandma and all went to eat dinner at Home Slice, Evan's choice.

When we got home, Evan at the chocolate pie Morry had made for him.

Now the kids are getting ready for bed.

Here are some pictures.

The Last Few Days

We have been busy the last few days.  Here's what has been going on.

Thursday:  Morry and I went to MD Anderson for a checkup.  We left around 5:30 in the morning and got back around 5pm.  Everything looks good so far.

Friday: We had lunch at Wholy Bagel.  Wade came over after camp.  For dinner we ate at Aunt Sandy and Uncle Marvin's house.

Saturday:  Evan had baseball games and Noah and I went house hunting with Grandma and Papa.  At night, we went to a going away party at Brian and Angela's (our neighbors).

Sunday:  Today Evan had a baseball game in the morning.  The rest of us including Uncle Marvin went to brunch at Crema.  Grandma and Papa left early afternoon.  Evan's game ended early because of weather.  It started raining really hard.  For dinner we ate at Fujiyama and then got dessert at Marie Calendars.  Morry got apple pie a la mode, the boys got cherry pie, and I got apple cheesecake.  We all really liked our desserts.  I was the only one that had a little leftover. The boys are getting ready for bed now.
