We did NOTHING! Basically. Josh had 2 home games so we didn't go anywhere and we don't have money to do anything so we did yard work because the grass that I work so hard to keep nice keeps dying. Monday, I told the boys what crabgrass I wanted pulled up and then I went to work and came home to it looking close to the same way that it was before I left. So, Tuesday I made them a HUGE chore list to do inside the house while I went to work. Most of it got done before the soccer game. Joel tried to fix the sprinklers the next day and it ALWAYS frustrates him. I've asked him a million times to teach me how to do it so I can just fix them when they break but he won't. So, the lawn and I are at his mercy of when he can fix the sprinklers and then I have to calm him down afterwards. Friday we did go to the park for a picnic with the Wells' before Josh's other game. Vernon Worthen Park has redone their park so that they have a new playground, trail and parking lot. It's really nice. It's always fun to have some time off with the Wells family. We don't do it as often as we should. I think that we should probably schedule a once a month thing like the Beckstrands so that the cousins can play together more often. Saturday I trimmed the Oleander tree near my bedroom door and then started on the grass to figure out what the problem was. I didn't understand why, after I baby it so much, it keeps turning yellow and letting the crab grass take over. Then after 2 hours of working on one spot I found them. GRUBS!!! Dang little grub worms had eaten all of my lawn roots and that's why it died. BUGGG! Literally and figuratively. So we stopped everything and went hiking. I will have to deal with them later. We met up with the Wells kids at the Narrows (Satan's Buttcrack). The kids ran up through there about 5 times. Joel and I stuck around for as long as we could but it was still another work day for us. We has to take a dozen Red Rock kids down to Vegas to see a Cubs game. They were in town for Spring training at the 51's field. It is the one perk that Joel and I get to do every year together. It was a cold day in Vegas. Weird. But it was a great game 11-2 for the Cubs over the Indians.
It was a lot of fun!

Ben figured out how to pump the swing to get them higher. He said that it was a good ab workout.
Josh had 2 games. Tuesdays was against Desert Hills and Fridays was against Canyon View. We lost to Desert Hills 4-0 and we lost to Canyon View in double overtime in the last 10 seconds! 3-2! It was horrible!
It was a great and well needed date. Now back to the daily grind of regular life and back to school!
