Back to Reality

Well, I ended up not going to Vegas and instead spending that time in Tyler helping open a new store. It was nice to have that change of pace. It snowed while I was there. Bill and Katie live out on Lake Tyler and the snow covered the trees and ground. I woke up Friday morning and walked out on the porch to see a red-tailed fox running through the snow. It was like a dream.

Yestereday we put the first seeds in the ground for bell peppers. Iz said they should be planted at dark. It was definitely dark when the last one went in. The boys helped break up the dirt and brought firewood up to the house. I know they like to work when we are out there with them. It's nice spending that time together as a family.

Today, we had baseball try-outs. Trapper and Colton's were this morning. Trapper did alright. I don't think he was quite sure what to do seeing as this was his first year. Cole did well. He really has a good arm. Tyler's were this afternoon. He knocked the socks off those coaches! He hit every ball perfectly, threw like a pro and really poured his soul into it. I was so proud of him. He really wants to make All Stars.

I know I was gone for a week, but i really haven't had a day off in what seems like forever. I missed the boys so much and have enjoyed being home with them. It just seems like I have gone non-stop since coming home. I am ready for a "me day". Maybe next Sunday if the boys go with their dad, I can have just a day to myself to do something relaxing.

Well, just wanted to catch up on the blog. Gotta get ready for dinner plans with the boys.
