Logan’s team, the HCRA Wimberley Texans varsity team took on the Dripping Springs Tigers this morning in a scrimmage and they looked great. Sure, there were a few miscues but overall I am very impressed with his team. The defense played stellar, allowing only one play for over 10 yards and shutting down the Tigers whether they tried running or passing.
Logan played cornerback and did a fine job. He certainly didn’t look like a kid who had never played organized football before.
I couldn’t be prouder and can’t wait for the next one!
That’s right, it is time for football in Central Texas and both of the boys are about to starting playing in the HCRA football league. We went to pick up equipment today and the first practice will be on Monday.
I am SO stoked about this that I can’t stop smiling. The other way cool thing is that both of them were able to get one of the numbers I wore when I played football. I really couldn’t be prouder and can’t wait to cheer them on.

This year’s Tour de France is something special. Sure, I always think that the TdF rocks, but there is something about this 100th anniversary running that is particularly exceptional.
Lance is back with a new American team. His rival, Alberto Contador is looking stronger than ever. Andy Schleck is tough as nails and proving it every day (particularly in Stage 2.) The route is quite a bit more interesting than usual… and by interesting I mean TOUGH as heck!
The girls went to see “Letters to Juliet,” and rather than sit through the chick flick, the guys felt it was time to go do something involving sweat, simulated murder, and just general mayhem. Paintball was the obvious choice.
We had a blast from the moment we “woke up” our host for the afternoon. I forget the dude’s name, but he was very cool and really dug explaining things to the boys while telling all his tales of the world of paintball.
Once we went over all the safety information, we were ready to get going.
Outfitted with our “killin’ gear” we headed out to the combat arena.
We had an absolute blast despite the sweltering heat. In the first match, it was Logan and Dallin teamed up against me. Later we went “every man for himself.” We even did a couple matches where it was just Dallin vs Logan. Logan shot me in the head a couple times - I shot him in the head once and the chest another - Logan also shot Dallin during a time-out.
The dude that ran it was super friendly and gave us a ton more paint than we paid for. I think he was happy to see someone there and I helped him jump start his truck that was dead too. Overall, it was a fun outing and despite the fact that I think I would have liked Letters to Juliet, there is no doubt this was better!
Today was a fun break from the routine as I got to spend the morning at Texan Stadium where the students at Jacob’s Well Elementary competed in their annual Field Day. Logan and Dallin got three first place finishes and three seconds between them.
If you click on the photo, it will take you to the Flickr set I created.
Overall, it was a lot of fun and I am real proud of the boys for not only doing great, but doing so with class and style.
