Family, Hiking, Shooting, Dirt Bikes, and . . . a little sleep






The last days have been a welcome change from the normal routine . . . My handsome man, little bro, and bundle of joy went up to Lyle to be with family.

I almost forget a while after each visit how much I love my dad and mom and enjoy being with them. I always come home grateful for the time that we had.

So we went hiking . . . or rather, walking on a trail. Very beautiful. Nana watched 'Zekiel while I went with the guys. And she was kind enough to look after him while Luke attempted to teach his wifey a little about riding his dirt bike, and my dad let me shoot his .22. Dad always makes me smile . . . telling me that I did well. Yes, I can hit what I am aiming for when the pistol has no kick and I am aided by a red dot. Well, everything is a learning processes, eh?

My little mister was a pill berry topin'. (Jenkins lingo for expressing unfavorable behavior in young children). I was looking forward to a little sleep when I closed my eyes at 12:30am . . . only to be awakened at 3am by the pill berry . . . and again at 5:30am. So grateful for my husband who got up at 7:30 so I could get some sleep.

'Zekiel's given me a run for it the last few days. Apparently he is hungry and is not getting enough through nursing. (For whatever reason). So . . . I felt exhausted from trying to feed him enough solids to get him to sleep some. This weekend was a welcome reprieve and he is improving a lot with eating some food.
