James' Birthday

I was slow this morning, it was 11 by the time I left the computer. I ate breakfast there, checked emails, did my blog, checked out Facebook, and paid a couple of bills. I started getting the garbage can ready to take down tonight, but decided to go see the twins and visit over there first. I ended up staying until it was time for them to leave, lots of fun over there. I finally got the can ready to go (I still need to take it down to the road!) just before we left for James' football game at Cascade. We did a little shopping at Fred Meyer and then headed up to get a good spot so Vera could watch from the car. Man was it hot! I had to cover the windshield to keep from burning up while we waited.

James 33 knocking Jared down. He played great today. Hot as it was he was hustling the whole game. I saw him make one tackle right in front of us that had the runner laying there a few moments to recover.

James was co-captain, they are going out for the coin flip before overtime. The game was 7 to 7 at this point. They were on defense and recovered a fumble on the second or third play of overtime.

They scored on their third play to win the game.

Afterwards we went to Papa Pete's in Longview for James' birthday pizza. 5 of his friends came and they were pretty wound up after winning. James has just opened his iTouch in this picture.

The boys went out to play catch after eating. James is just about to pass one into the dumpster on the right. It was a fun day, that's the way birthdays should be.
