A Treat for Cobe

Cobe had the treat of a lifetime tonight. We went to a party at a neighbor's house, and Cobe got to meet, get his football card signed, get a football signed and run routes with David Garrard- starting NFL quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars!!!!!!!!! David and his wife Mary (and his 9 month old son Justin) live down the street from my parents at the lake in his off season. They are the nicest people. Cobe got a David Garrard football card about 6 months ago and has been saving it for David to be in town to sign. Well tonight was his night! After he signed his card, he swam in the pool with the kids (my mom's camera battery died right after I took these 3 pictures!!!!!! so I didn't get pictures of them swimming or running routes. Somebody else did and is supposed to email them to me tomorrow, so I'll post those when I get them) then he asked Cobe to go get a football so they could play. Cobe was on fire! He caught almost every pass David threw him. All of the people at the party were cheering Cobe on every time he caught one. David kept giving Cobe tips. It was exciting for me to watch knowing how thrilled Cobe was to get to do that. Here are a few pictures- hope to post some more tomorrow.

Man.... how come Cobe gets to do that and I don't..?
He will remember that for the rest of his life. With David as quarterback and being such a nice guy, guess I'll have to support Jacksonville now.
