Memorial Day Weekend

Once again, I forgot the camera, so we have to get those added later. It really was sitting on the kitchen chair waiting to go.
We had a great weekend...thanks to Craig Bitton who told Ty that there are no real car shoppers on Memorial Day weekend. His words about staying open for the weekend were "a waste of time." That was all it took. We both were ready for a break from the long work days (for Tyson) and rushing around. We loved LaPlatta. Saturday night, when everyone got up there, was a blast. Price/Hirst's made their famous dutch oven chicken and potatoes. We just had fun with good food and better friends. Sunday Jared spoiled us with an amazing breakfast and the boys went to be tuff in their trucks. Chopper was not ok being left and kept trying to run after them even 10 mins later so we sat in the tent and read. It was very rainy and it kept scaring Chopper, but it was so nice just to chill.
Monday was so relaxing, even though we got next to nothing done except going to Trav's. I can't believe how big Chuck and Becky's boys are. So adoreable. I just loved Andrew's chubby legs!! Once again, it was a blast just to hang out and catch up with people we hadn't seen in a while.
It had an interseting thought. Bangeter was at Trav's and was talking about being a parent. He said he was excited for us and I mentioned something about yes it was exciting...and SCARY. He laughed and started talking about his family, particularly his daughter. After we finished I couldn't help but hope that I don't let fear keep me from doing things. This is something that I think about from time to time. I know I used to let it stop me a lot but considering where I'm at...Married (commitment), knocked up (family - both fears I have had), and what I have done, particularly since I met Tyson such as the trips we took, the places we went, the things I have tried etc. I think I'm doing better. I still hope that I don't let fear ever get the better of me.
I'm so glad that AnnMarie will have Tyson to teach her not to hold back on life experiences because of fear. There is so much out there to miss.

Tired boys and a Shed

I have had some pretty tired boys lately. After I drag myself out of bed and start getting ready I come back into the room to find my place has been occupied and neither of them can quite get their heads up to say bye...although Chopper usually at least opens his eyes. I can't help but understand though with all the work that they do...and last night was a big night!

Although I have always known that I have to share my spot in Ty's heart with Chopper and now AnnMarie and new item has taken up some of my room...that's right, it's big, light colored, heavy, has ample storage inside and Ty and his friends and family moved it into my backyard last night. Vern was so sweet to give us his shed when he moved, but I really didn't expect to find Ty sitting out next to it after midnight and hear about how wonderful it was all night long. I guess I'll have to live with sharing Ty's love with an object. It's fun to see him so excited though!!! :) And as he says: "I'm sorry that we have to have to the biggest shed on the block, but that's just more room for camping stuff." ;)
