It has been a pretty quiet winter/moving into spring.  Our crazy warm/dry winter has continued.  Where we live, I don't think we have had more than 10 inches collectively all winter long.  We have had super high winds so this past week we had several wildfires in the area.

Jacob continues plodding along with the elevator job.  He has started a weekend side hustle with the purchase of a dump trailer.  He already has a few jobs on the radar.   Ben is currently in Austin for a few weeks.  He recently ran his first Spartan race while there.  He also just signed another year lease at his apartment so I am glad he will continue to be relatively close which means we should still see him 2-3 times a week.  Joseph is finishing up his spring break and he probably has gotten 50 plus hours of riding time on his motorcycle.  JR's schedule has been relatively quiet with a lack of snow.  I have voluntarily cut back my hours at work and enjoying less chaotic days.  I have recently played pickle ball twice and it is starting to grow on me.

Our biggest news is that we have become a 2 dog family - sigh.  We have had JJ about 2 months and he is almost 4 months old.  Fortunately another smart breed so he is learning the ins and outs from Bree.  I think it has been really good for Bree - she gets way more interaction these days.  I have also started walking them twice a day now that it is warming up!

Upcoming April travel plans: Ben going to concert in LA early April, then he and JR are headed to Honduras for a week.  I will make a trip quick to Abilene and Houston to check on mom and dad.  Then in May, Jacob is gone for a week hunting in Hawaii, JR is gone for 2 weeks on a Peruvian hike (reaching 16K feet plus!) and Ben has two different weekend concerts - one in Salt Lake and one in Cleveland.  The question remains....what fun can Joseph and I find?

Pictures below.  Joseph and Ben had gone to a car show and I love the pictures they took.  Ben is just smiling ear to ear, showing you he is 1000% in his element!!!!  I just love watching things that excite my boys.
