Out and About on a Saturday

After the basketball game, Callie and Mindy decided to tag along with Kevin to head down to Corsicana where he works. Kevin's work moved to a new location and had furniture delivered today.

Kevin and Callie in the 'Big Cheese' Office

We also decided to go and visit Aunt Carolyn and Jerry and their new house. Along the way, we saw some animals alongside the road and stopped for some pictures. Here are a few...

Also, at Aunt Carolyn's we saw more cows and spent some time with her and Jerry. It was a nice relaxing afternoon. Thank you to Aunt Carolyn and Jerry for taking us on a tour of their property and for having us for dinner. Below are pictures we took...

Our final stop of the night was at the grocery store. While we were in line, Callie showed us her magic trick! :)

'Lil Mavs Get Beat Again

Well, it's Saturday again and that means that it was time for another 'Lil Mavs game. Unfortunately, the girls lost 13-0, but they really improved as a team. They played the team from Palmer with the 9 1/2 year old girl. The girls played really good defense and were more aggressive this time around. They managed to defensively get on the bigger girls, which was a huge improvement since the last time they played that team. Even though they lost, it was still a good team effort! Here is a video clip from this weeks game...

Quick Update on 'Lil Mavs

Saturday, the 'Lil Mavs had another game. After the first quarter the girls were down 10-0. But, thanks to Callie, Courtney and Maya, the final score was 10-6. Another loss, but the girls made a valiant try at winning the game. Supposedly, the team they played wasn't very nice either. Some of the girls were saying mean things and weren't very ladylike. Next week it is off to play the Palmer team with the 10 year old again! Hopefully this weekend, the girls will be more aggressive and win this time!

Central Market Dallas

Today while Kevin, his friend Clint and Clint's son Evan, were at the Baseball Exhibit at the Texas State Fair Grounds, Mindy and Clint's wife Wendy ventured out to Central Market. Mindy was in grocery store heaven. For those of you in NY and VA, the store is similar to Wegmans. When you first walk into the store, there is a large produce area with many types of vegetables and fruits. Then it is off to the seafood and meat area where there are many varieties to choose from. The best part of the store was the Bulk Food area. They had candy, granola, coffee, etc. It seemed like there were over 30 selections of coffee to choose from. We bought Tiramisu and Snickernut to try out. But, we will have to go back and try the rest! The bakery and deli sections looked wonderful as well. Hope to go back soon so that we can try out some more goodies from Central Market!

A Loss for the 'Lil Mavs

Well, today the 'Lil Mavs suffered a loss. In the first period, the team was down 8-0 and managed to hold off any more points at half. It didn't look good though. The other team had an unfair advantage with a 10 year old who apparantly is still in second grade. Lots of parents were complaining about this and the assistant coach almost was thrown out of the game! haha In the second half, the girls had some foul shot attempts and two baskets made by Callie. In the end the girls lost 12-5. Before the game, we watched our next opponent which looked stronger. Hopefully, next week the girls will rise out on top again.

Below is a highlight from this week's game...

'Lil Mavs First Game

The 'Lil Mavs had their first game yesterday. The girls did a great job for their first game ever!! The first two points came from the other team...haha. But then the girls started making baskets and were up 10-2 at half time, thanks to Courtney, Callie and Emily. The second half everyone was getting tired and Coach K was feeling the pressure as the other team creeped up on them and scored 3 baskets toward the end of the fourth quarter. However, the 'Lil Mavs prevailed in victory with a win of 12-8. Next week it is off to Palmer to beat the next team!

Here is a video of the team in action....
