Thanksgiving, Texans and TJ Yates, Holiday Dance

07 Dec
Thanksgiving was here and we had the normal routine. I did fry three turkey’s first though. Dan Sikes and Allan Myers brought theirs over and we used Dan’s new oil free cooker. It turned out great. We went to Tressa’s dad’s in the morning and had dinner then went to our house and everyone else met us over there for the rest of the night. It has been pretty much the same routine for the last ten years. You get stuffed twice and are miserable the rest of the day. Me and the kids usually go to deer lease about 7 after we eat but this year was the last year of the UT and A&M game so we watched the entire game. We didn’t roll into lease until about 1 in the moring. It was a site watching us try and find a bed for us to sleep in that night. We did not see much deer wise but we had a great time.
Well the Texans are 9-3 and are really playing great defense. I have been totally wrapped up in them and the stats and the playoff picture. We just beat a good Falcon team this week and our defense is the top in the league. I am purchasing my playoff tickets and will be at every game. It has been really cool for me and Tressa to make these memories with the kids. I hope the Texans continue this run. The only thing that could possiblly go bad is our quarterback. We started with Matt Schaub and he got hurt so they put in Matt Leinert. Everyone thought he could manage the game and we would be fine with him the rest of the way. Our defense has been playing great and leads the league. Well the first game Leinert is in he gets hit and breaks his collarbone so he is out. Our last quarterback is a rookie named TJ Yates. We drafted him from North Carolina in the 5th round. He was never expected to play. Well the kid did a great job and we beat the jags. This week we played a good Falcon team and he had another good game and managed the game. Our defense game through again. We have Wade Phillips as the DC and guys like Brooks Reed, Connor Barwin, JJ Watt and Brian Cushing are playing great and they are young players. Hopefully this will last a long time. Maybe this TJ Yates kid will turn into a Tom Brady situation and will be a great QB for years to come for us.
Well The only other thing going on for Mady this month was the Holiday dance. She cracks me up. When I got home last friday her and Julia Savedra, Cassie Salazar and Lizzie Malek were all in the living room doing each others hair and laughing and giggling about stuff. It was so cool to see and hear. My baby is growing up but to come home and hear the noise of kids and her friends and them laughing was just so awesome. Well we took them to the dance and then went to Mark Neu’s birthday at a small bar by Twin Cities restaurant. She had a good time at the dance, she isn’t too boy crazy right now but she has a ton of friends. It just makes me so happy and proud to come home and see her getting fixed up with her friends. That is how I always pictured it is all the kids at our house and getting ready and seeing our kids so happy going and doing things. Her and Brad both are so so big and mature now, I love it and I hate it.
Ya’ll be safe out there!!
