Last Sunday

While Mom and I were in Temple, Dad and Mike took Brody to church. Since Namaw wasn't there to read him the funny pages before church, Brody had to find them on his own! We made it back in time to watch the guys play their Sunday afternoon football game. Ann and I stopped by Megan's parents' house to return her doppler and Megan, Derek, and Conner decided to join us in going to the football field. Brody was VERY excited to go to the football field. I had quite the time keeping him out of the game and on the sidelines!
Tyler made a good play so Brody ran out to give him a "bonk" (knuckles).
I had taken a sippy cup of water for Brody to drink, but after watching the big guys drink straight out of the cooler...Brody didn't want water from anywhere else! I finally lifted him up and let him drink from the same spout that 10 other guys just drank from.

Anytime the ball came out of bounds our way...Brody was on top of it! I think he's trying to convince Caleb to tackle him for the ball.

During another water break Mike worked with Brody on his spiral technique.
After the game we all went back to Daddy Steve and Namaw's house to watch the Cowboys play. I know this is a terrible angle...but this is the only picture we got with the entire family while we were in TX...so just know that our hips really aren't that wide...it's just the angle! lol
Mark and Angela got back from a trip to Austin on Sunday evening, so Mike and I got to go to dinner with them! We went to an Italian place (that I can't remember the name of). The food was good (I had salmon) and it was fun to get to sit down and talk with them for a while. We look forward to getting to spend a lot more time with them when we're living down there.

Daddy Steve and Namaw took advantage of their last night with Brody. They lit the tiki torches in the back yard and looked at the moon together (one of Brody's favorite past times).
Then they put him to bed.
We left for home around 10:00 on Monday morning. It was a looooong trip home for Brody...but we made it. There was still snow on the ground when we got to our house and we were happy to see that we still had power! We enjoyed our time in Texas over Christmas...but it felt soooo good to sleep in our own bed again!
