Before the World Shut Down 2

Jason and I didn't go hunting but we did go out to eat a lot (before the world shut down).  We decided that if we ate on a patio that would be "safe".  We even let Chloe go, and as you can see, she thoroughly enjoyed brunch!

2 Ways to Fish

Reed caught fish the "normal" way.

And this is how Kyle catches fish.

I asked Reed if Kyle was able to get the fish all the way out of the water and he said, "oh yes, but I didn't get a picture because Grandpa was screaming at him to put it back because he was going to kill it." 

Before The World Shut Down

The boys were able to go hunting over the weekend with Grandpa Gary and Granny Buffie before the world shut down.  They all had lots of fun.  Not my kind of fun, but certainly fun for them! 

And Reed was the only one to get a pig. 

Stupid Cornoavirus

Well this stupid virus has taken out everything, including the rodeo.  We got to go one night to see Midland, and the other 3 or 4 times we were planning on going got cancelled.  It makes me so sad for the kids who didn't get to show their animals, and all the vendors who make the majority of their income in these 3 weeks. 

At least all of us got to go, Kyle wasn't in these pictures because he came to the rodeo after diving and Jason and I didn't sit with the kids. 

He made a Big Splash (Figuratively not Literally)

We were so proud of Kyle this weekend.  Not only did he win 1st place on the 1 and 3 meter, but he qualified for Nationals on both boards!  

I was so occupied calculating Kyle's scores, and trying to figure out if he was going to qualify for Nationals, that I had no idea he won until they announced him as the winner.

  Lucky for us Nationals is back in San Antonio this year, so it will just be a short drive down the road (in July) for him to compete. 

One Act Play

JR has been busy with UIL One Act Play.  They did The Diviners, which I had never heard of.  It was a sad and serious play, but, of course, JR's part wasn't sad or serious.  

They won at their zone competition

and competed at district last night. They didn't advance out of district, but they had lots of fun.

  I think this is his last show for the school year since he wants to focus on umpiring (so he can make some money), but I'm sure he'll find his way on a stage before the end of the year. 

Double The Fun

Reed hit one of the most beautiful doubles yesterday at his baseball game. 

And Kyle did one of the most beautiful doubles last week at the pool.

Doubles aside, Reed got hit with the ball twice in one game, but since then, he's had some really pretty hits (which is way better than getting hit).
