Spring Break...

The past few weeks have been so busy Cades planting chile and cotton, harvesting asparagus, and shipping his hot sauce mash . The last few days with band concerts, childrens day, temple baptisms, ballet etc...I have been looking forward to being non scheduled and hanging out with my kids! The pool was filled this week and we have averaged 22 kids swimming each day, so yesterday was so nice to finally have a BREAK. My kids and I worked in the yard and planted a mini orchard. We planted 12 peach trees , grassed another area of our yard.(Not to mention the orange, lemon and 4 pear tress we planted last week!) And then went swimming, just us! For the next 2 1/2 weeks we are on SPRING BREAK . Our California cousins got here yesterday and the kids are thrilled, who knows we might just follow them back to California in a week . We are going to visit the Allen side of our family also. I think I am more excited about the break than the kids. Its nice to be refreshed.

Your yard and house look great. We need to come and visit again. I hope the citrus trees can cope with the cold winter weather.
Love, Dad

Your yard and land (orchard, etc) sound incredible. Crawdads...seriously, GROSS. Who taught them that they are edible? We always just found them in our flood irrigation growing up.
