Hey Mark Pryor When did you start moonlighting as an NFL analyst?

Sometimes when you just commit to working as hard you can, you don’t worry about technique, you don’t care what people say or think Magic can happen A coach can teach a skill, but only the athlete can determine their individual level of effort That is when the magic happens

Just a happy kid finishing football practice in small town Texas at sunset…

Can’t take credit for making this, but it is definitely worth posting…

Day off from work The boys and I still had work to do

Myles may be prepping for a productive career in Pest Control

It’s either one of two things… 1. He’s looking into the game cam taunting me 2, He’s looking at me in disappointment that the feeder is empty and he’s waiting for me to refill it

Athlete’s advice part 2: being a good teammate is not difficult if you realize that the team comes first. When you adopt a mindset to only appease yourself, it gets really hard really fast. Trust the process and do your part FOR YOUR TEAM!

Great last football game of the year with Myles. Pitchers and catchers report in 2 months, so we have some downtime … Thankfully

Not a bad afternoon for the boys at Kyle Field…

Gotta let these boys dream big…

Last year’s Christmas presents are still a big hit Watching them be outside and inventive and imaginative is great I think they are using more problem solving skills trapping & freeing animals than they are in most of their classes Real life is outside, not on a screen

Great way to start the Christmas break Lorena High School - UIL State Football Champions Absolutely love having the boys get a chance to see this … and the support of the entire community Small towns are vastly underrated If you know, you know…

Parenting advice If your 12 year old asks to bring home his tuba over the Christmas break to practice JUST SAY NO It’s day 3, and these have been the sounds in the house all morning ALL SATURDAY MORNING It’s a tuba, there’s really no escaping the sound #NotSoSilentNight

We are making progress Both are practicing … but we have convinced Myles the ‘acoustics’ are much better outside Think we might not be getting Christmas cards from the neighbors anymore Amanda thinks he should play on the front curb with a tip cup for people walking by…

Gotta respect the discipline It’s 37 degrees outside, and he’s practicing I guess that metal gets cold out there… hence the gloves At least he’s working on his problem solving skills

Dad is making a low country boil for Christmas What goes better with shrimp and sausage? What can we bring that might go well with that? Gotta be fresh possum…

Beautiful cold morning, great day, and a fun night with the boys at Double Creek Ranch

The boys’ mounts came in from their first hunt. They were pumped to say the least. Gold medal Black Hawaiian, Corsican, and Texas Dall.
