Weekly Update

This week is already in full swing, it seems like it should already be Friday! It is the last week of school for Muleshoe, so David is starting to wind things down before summer school begins. Today was a big day for Benjamin. Not only did he turn 20 months old today-- he also had a very fun time in Lubbock with his pal, Jaden. We went to church in Abilene with Jason and Jami West and now they are up in our neck of the woods, Snyder, to be exact. Shortly before we moved to Muleshoe, they had Jaden and three months ago they added Jaxon to their family. Jami and I met up at a large park with all the boys (the little boys, the big boys had to work) and a picnic for a fun time. Although we didn't get to visit as much as we would have liked (chasing after toddlers somehow limits conversation), we had a great time watching Jaden and Benjamin play on the playground. It was also fun to meet little Jaxon-- he's already getting so big! Jaden enjoyed all of the fun features of the actual play area, while Benjamin seemed to enjoy running after the ducks. As I was talking to Jami as she was packing up, we both agreed that if anyone told us four years ago at one of our infamous Abilene "Diva Lunches" that four years from that moment, the two of us would be at a park in Lubbock, standing by Jami's new minivan after playing for a couple of hours with our three boys, we would have said you are nuts! And after closely seeing the cool gadgets in that minivan, I'm ready to drive one myself! We also agreed that back then, we never would have pictured ourselves in minivans! Funny how the road of life takes you.
The rest of the week is probably going to be pretty busy, too! We are excited that Sam and Arly (David's youngest brother and his wife) are coming up for the holiday weekend. That should be a lot of fun for all of us, we can't wait!
Well, I am sunburned and tired-- not the best-feeling combo. I think it's time to turn in.
Have a great week!
