Retired

Today my Daddy retired from years of hard work. He officially gets to stay at the ranch and be a rancher. When I asked him what he was going to do first now that he was retired, he replied, "build fence." Wow. How exciting is that???

For another month, he will have to help mom babysit the boys. They will have a blast with him. It's ok for 4 year olds to learn how to build fence...right?

Stress Relief

Does anyone watch "How I Met Your Mother?" On that show, the character, Robin, loves to go to the shooting range and release all her stress by shooting her pistol. I didn't really think much of it when I saw that on the show because I have shot plenty of rifles and shot guns in my life time. While I do find hunting fun and enjoyable, the term "stress relief" never really came to mind. That was until I picked up a pistol. There is just something different about it. I can feel the tension leaving my back. It's awesome.

T-Ball

My sweet tiny little babies are officially old enough to participate in a team sport.  We have entered the competitive world of flower picking t-ball.  They are really good at it, too.  They only have to be told a million a few times to back away from the batter, get out of the dirt, or pay attention to the game.  But what would be a game of t-ball without some of that? 

They have the most inexperienced awesome coaches ever (Chris and I, and our bestie Melissa).  We totally have no clue know what we are doing.  These little 4 and 5 year olds are like herding grasshoppers a blast to chase around.  We are exhausted super pumped after the games.

We do have the most Awesome team and team name.  The Aggies.  How cool is that?!?!?  That is a winning team for sure. 

The boys have a blast and in the end...everyone gets a sno-cone.  What can be better than that?

Bullet

Mimi and Papa got a new puppy named Bullet. He is the cutest little thing. Yellow lab puppies are the cutest dogs ever, anyway. The cuteness makes up for the holes they dig and the water hoses they chew up. Since the boys spend all day out at Mimi's house they consider it their dog. They take it riding in the jeep and kayaks. It is safe to say this dog is going to make a good buddy for my little boys.

Easter Weekend Fun

Easter Prep.

Ok, so I'm a little late.

Got Worms?

Anyone who knows my husband, knows that he is an avid hunter and fisherman.  So, it's not a big deal around our house that he is trying to raise worms in my back flower bed under my plants.  Doesn't matter to me because they will help my plants grow and will give them nutrients and it's an excuse for Chris to have  to water those flowers.  It's a win/win.

Well, yesterday the long awaited worms arrived in the mail.  The problem was....the box leaked.  When they were delivered to the post office they started crawling out of the box and all over the post office.  The postal worker freaked out and started asking random people if they knew the game warden or his phone number.  People started calling Chris and stopping him on the street telling him that there was something for him at the post office.

When he arrived at the post office to pick up his package the postal lady was HOT!  She handed him his small package and another large box that contained all the worms that she had picked up off the floor of the mail room. She made him leave his phone number just in case there were anymore "weird" packages delivered.

I'm sure she doesn't think it's as funny as I do, but I just can't stop laughing.
