Well, tomorrow is the last day of school. We are leaving for the night to see Iz's little sister graduate and then back home so Iz can be at work Friday night. It will be a super quick trip, good thing his family only lives in Austin. Diana, Iz's mom, generously offered to take the boys on a weekly rotating schedule. Trapper is staying the week first. He is very excited. None of them ever get time by themselves with anyone, so this is a very special treat. Trap knows he will have to go to work with her some of the time, but I think he is excited about that as well.

Cole has his first All-Star tournament this Saturday in Comfort. It is a double elimination so he will play anywhere from 2-4 games. That just sounds exhausting to me...and like a very hot day at the ball park. I know he is very proud to get this honor, and I am very proud of him, but dang the time it takes up in our crazy schedule. The next Saturday is his tournament in Johnson City, where we will also be trading out Chris or Tyler for Trapper with Iz's mom.

Iz caught some monster catfish on Monday and so last night we had a wonderful meal of fried catfish, fried squash (from our garden) and green beans (also from our garden). I think having a meal solely from your own production has to be one of the greatest feelings on Earth. Everything tasted so fresh, the boys tried everything because they helped with it all, and we were all happy at the end of the night.

I am off to try to get some sleep. We are having a thunderstorm at the moment so the birds are anxious, the dog is hiding under the bed, and I imagine, with a good clap of thunder, one or more of the boys will come running in soon. The joys of a house full of life! Happy Wednesday!!!
