The boys and I ventured off to the ranch on Saturday morning. They stayed and played with Cady and did horse chores. I continued on to get a haircut with my favorite barber, Tom. For lunch we went to the Team Vogel fundraiser at the lake and enjoyed some yummy food.
Kyle had a big day on Saturday. He read the word "magnificent" all by himself and was so proud that he ran off with his book to tell Cooper who was a really good sport and acted very excited for him. Kyle then made a mental note to share his big news with Mrs. Gilliland on the first day of school. I wonder if he will remember? Not to be outdone, Cameron decided that he needed to learn how to read that evening. I love the enthusiasm and all but you try to explain to a 4 year-old that this is not a 10 minute endeavor. He was not happy, to say the least.
On Sunday, we did some weed-pulling and mulching and general clean-up of the yard. It's about a 10 hour job but we got a good start. The boys learned the value of hard work, okay, not really, but we made them work with us. They kept disappearing, except for Kyle, who is a really hard worker and a great helper.
This weekend we were reminded that even if your life is cut way too short by a brutal disease you can leave an amazing legacy that lives on and changes lives long after you are gone. Go Team Vogel...
