Nothing much going on today.

A lot of reading and getting Dallas ready for camp.

He leaves bright and early Monday morning at 6am. It is about a 9 hour drive to where they are going. Then he will not be back until Saturday some time. So it will just be Coda and I for the week.

On Monday, school schedules will be posted at the school so we will be able to go find out what track the boys were put on, who thier teacher is and get a supply list so we can start getting ready for school. The boys are pretty excited about going back to school and starting a new school year. It has been a perfect amount of time for a break and we will all be ready for school to start back up and get back in to the swing of things.

It has been an unpredictable day, started out nice and sunny with a few patchy clouds, so nice in fact that dad was out riding his bike at 7:30 this morning without a coat. Around 11 or so he brought Coda home on the bike. By around 1:30 or so it started getting windy and blew just a whole layer of clouds in and by 2 it was thunder, lightning and rain. It is now 4 and no longer raining and just a slight breeze blowing but no let up on the clouds so who knows what will happen. When there are clouds here it usually means something is in store for us. haha We have had a lot of thunder and lightning lately, at least since I have been home. The lightning can sometimes make one nervous because of how dry it is here, it doesn't take much to start fires and so we just pray that the electricity stays up in the sky and doesn't meet with the ground at all. :)

The boys are on a hyper kick today, not sure why. Maybe because Coda spent the night at Papa and Nana's last night and they missed each other? who knows but they have driven themselves to have some calming of the spirit by sitting in bed and doing some yoga maybe. haha jk

Travis and I are nearing our 10th anniversary and I can see that big 30 looming in the distance. When I turned 25 I cried the whole day and thought perhaps I would rather die than turn 30, being over 30 for my husband does not seem so old but for myself it seemed ancient, for I never wanted to get old. I find it doesn't matter as much any more. So long as I have my husband, my children and every one is together and healthy what is a little thing like the number behind ones name. And besides if I would lose some weight and not be so fat I wouldn't look near as old. haha and I have been told you are only as old as you let yourself be. :)

Well enough of my chattering

Happy Fathers Day to all you fathers and especially to the best father. Yeah, that would be mine. :)
