HitTrax Tournament

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

There is no baseball tournament or flag football game this weekend.  But they did have a HitTrax tournament at the facility.  HitTrax is a system that measures how the ball is hit, the velocity off the bad, the angle and the launch angle and tells you where the ball goes and if it's a hit or not (based on their age).  Evan's team had to form smaller teams and were allowed to bring friends that weren't in the organization to compete. 

Before we left for that, Rachel left to tutor a girl for the ACT.  It turns out she had other math homework so Rachel ended up not helping her prepare for the ACT.

Evan had already formed a team with Cooper, Angelo and Cooper's friend.  They called themselves the "Megabombers".  They ended up winning the whole tournament.  Evan was very excited. 

Rachel stopped at HEB on her way home and got some stuff for the week.  She said it was very crowded at HEB.

We got home about an hour after her and we had lunch.

The rest of the afternoon, we took it easy.

For dinner, we went to The League with Papa.  We had a nice time.

The boys are playing on the Playstation now and Rachel is making cake balls for a Super Bowl party tomorrow.

Until next time...

Gizmo and the End of Winter Break

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Rachel, Grandma and Aunt Susan went to New Braunfels for the weekend for a girls trip.  They left just before lunch on Friday. That left the boys and me alone for the weekend.  But in addition to the boys, we have Calvin, Flash and Chewie.  We're still pet-sitting Luna. And, on Thursday, we got a new kitten who we named Gizmo.  He is so cute and so happy and loves to be around people.  He's still scared of Chewie but he seems ok with the two cats and Luna as long as the cats are not hissing at him.  The thing about him is he was born without eyelids and he needs drops in his eyes twice per day. 

Also on Friday, Evan invited his friend Angelo to stay with us.  So we had a full house, even without Rachel, on Friday night. The boys all stayed up until 3am playing video games.

On Saturday, I took Evan to flag football practice.  Angelo's dad picked him up from there.  In the afternoon, Evan and I went to the TRPD facility and I helped him practice some.  A boy that we know that is joining the 11u team met us there and Evan worked with him some.

For dinner, we went to The League and Tavern with Papa.  It was our first time there.  We liked it.

This morning, I took the boys to get their hair cut.  In the afternoon, we went to the Ramati's for a 6 Points event. 

For dinner, we met up with Grandma and Papa and went to Maudies.

Until next time...
