Disc-golf, frisbie-golf, whatever you want to call it. Chad and I are continually trying to find something we can do outdoors as a family (that is relatively free). We have picked up tennis in the past, but that doesn’t work with Caleb, we aren’t good at golf (more so, I stink at golf) and that costs money, we go bike riding with the trailer or we go for walks. Anyway, Chad had a brilliant idea on Memorial Day. Frisbie-golf. This is our second try. We have a long way to go to being good, but Caleb loves to walk around the park and chase after the frisbies. It’s great.

This past weekend Caleb and I made another long trip, but this time we went to visit Lori and Beth. Both of these girls were great friends during my time at ASU, and they were both roommates at some point in my college career. I love them so dearly.

Lori graduated this weekend from medical school. She will be doing her residency in Austin for the next 4 years. Congratulations Lori.

During our time in Fort Worth for the graduation we saw Beth and her new 2 month old baby, Aubrey. Aubrey is precious.

On Friday night we got to enjoy some time with Lori, Beth and Aubrey. It was not that eventful, but we played with the babies and enjoyed catching up over some take out.

On Saturday Caleb and I went to the graduation and then headed to Mesquite for a little bit more time with Beth and Aubrey. We came back to Midland Sunday evening. We sure did miss Chad.

It was a lot of driving, Caleb did pretty good considering the trip, he went to bed late, woke up early and tried to avoid napping. It was a great weekend though!

And a picture to reminisce over. This was taken Lori’s first year in medical school.

Well since it has been over 100 degrees here, we decided to get a pool. I finally found one at Academy yesterday. I think Caleb really enjoyed it!

I have no idea what he is doing, but he likes to do this fairly often.

Today was a long day, but a great one. We were up bright and early this morning (as usual) and were heading out of Midland before 8:00 this morning. Caleb and I were going to meet my sister and her fiance Marcus (yes, I said fiance. Marcus proposed to her last night). Congratulations Marcus and Sara.

Sara was in Austin for the week, so we met in Menard for lunch and then went to the park to let Caleb walk around. We had a blast (although it was hot). I really enjoyed getting to see Sara and Marcus. I haven’t seen anyone on my side of the family since we moved to Midland. That was 7 months ago. Too long!

On the way back through San Angelo we stopped by and visited with Laura (we love those guys), and we got to see Audrey for a few minutes as we headed out of town. It was a long day of driving (nearly 6 hours), but well worth it.

Taking a short nap on the way.

Congratulations Marcus and Sara. We love you!

This will be short and to the point I hope.

Caleb got two new teeth last week. More are coming soon, I think.

We went to Robert Lee again last week to get my car fixed (several problems including the driver side door not opening).

Caleb was sick Wednesday, fever, cough, hoarse, very puny. Continues on Thursday. Difficult time breathing especially at night. We went to a walk in clinic on Friday (we were in RL still). He had rattly breath sounds, cough, hoarse, wheezing, yucky throat, fever. They gave him a breathing treatment, antibiotics, steroids. He is doing better. He is talking now, still has a yucky cough. He gave it to me. Audrey was so helpful with Caleb. She is a great mother-in-law.

We saw the Cozart’s very quickly to get advice on Caleb from nurse Laura, but we didn’t want to stick around and get them sick too.

Chad finally finished him online course this weekend! YEA! He takes his final this evening for his accounting class. No school for the summer. Yippee! We like him to come home before 7pm. I can’t wait.

That’s it. Still recovering. Have a great week.

No pictures since we were under the weather.
