In the world of 10-year-olds who go to St Ignatius, certain nee-doh stress-relieiving toys are the hot item to have and hard to find. Today, I picked Carson and Tommy after school and we went to two stores who had supposedly received a shipment that morning. No luck.

I asked them if there was something else they might want to buy. Tommy was reluctant, Carson assured him it was ok and added, “Basically, there is no budget if you’re with Grandma.” LOL!! Later that evening, we went to Avery’s volleyball game.

Sophia play with her club team at McClellan.

Avery played with his St Ignatius team at Jesuit for the PAL championship.

8th graders: AJ, Apollo, Avery, Christian.

Carson at Ciavarella Field.

He came in to protect the lead, “the closer,” as he’s known.

Carson’s Buzzardball team got to play at Golden 1 this morning.

They won.

Carson (out there somewhere):

Another season draws to a close.

After the Rancho Cordova meeting, it was a short drive to Avery’s basketball at St Ignatius.

Carson #4 going out to catch the pass.

The season is winding down and St Ignatius 8th graders are a powerful team. They’re aggressive and work together really well. Monday at SI. Note the score with 2 minutes left.

Tuesday, the final home game.

Avery at SI. His 8th grade basketball season is coming to an end.

and then to Holy Spirit in Land Park for Carson.

Carson played at Jesuit on Sunday afternoon.
