Texas, Surprise, and life

So last week I had to go to Texas for 5 days for a training. It was great. I learned so much that I  can use right away and make a huge difference. It was still a long week being away from my family. We had 30 people in the class and I think we represented 11 different states. The furthest being Rhode Island and Alaska. My favorite accent was the guy from Alabama. 

When I got home Don and the kids surprised me with a pot rack hanging in my kitchen. I have been wanting one for years and now here it is . It adds so much character to my kitchen that now we really need to paint it. 

The kids are doing great with life right now. I can't believe that it is already time to go to the Jr High and hear the informational meeting for parents next week. I think that the twins are very excited. 

Trevor is still do weightlifting for football in the mornings from 6am-7am and on Monday and Wednesday he has wrestling practice from 6-7:30pm . 

Tatum is doing amazing in Softball. One of the coaches took some time and practiced hitting with her and while I was gone she hit a stand up triple and has had a couple doubles and singles since then. She gets to catch also and I think that she is really having a great time.

Triston is also doing great in baseball. He is consistently hitting the ball and scoring . The coach has him at the bottom of the line up that causes him to miss hitting opportunities as the kids in front of him rarely get on base. All the kids on his team have the potential of hitting which makes for some exciting games. 

Don and I are working hard short days to make sure that we are home in time for games or practices but all in all we wouldn't have it any other way.
