March BASEBALL!!....and so it begins.

That's right, it's baseball season. This has been the favorite sport season for Phil and Lori for some time now. It's a bit more laid back, we get to sit togther and watch the games and the boys really enjoy the game. This season has been quite busy. For several weeks now we have been doing baseball practices 5-6 days during the week between both boys. That is about to ease up with the upcoming start of the regular season. Games will begin and practices will ease up. Bryce's team played in the annual Pre-season tournament called the Blue Northern. They had a great run. They won the tournament and did not lose a game the entire way through. (5-0). It was fun, but it was long. Opening day is April 5. The pic is Bryce in action.

Camping at Lake Bastrop




The Todd's invaded the great outdoors Sunday night at the LCRA campground on Lake Bastrop. We got to spend some time with some dear friends. It was great to be there, see our friends, but it was definately too short. However, we did get out of ther before the storms rolled through on Monday night. Check out some of the pics.

Getting Ready for Camping

Well, it's Friday night and I'm about to head to bed but thought I would post real quick. We are happy that it's the weekend and that Spring Break has officially begun!!! We will be heading to Bastrop Lake on Sunday to meet up with some friends to go camping. These were our best friends when we lived in Louisiana, so it will be fun to hang out and relax with them. The last time we saw them was last year camping over Spring Break. I can't wait. There is just something about being out in God's creation and getting away from the daily distractions of home. It's nice not to have to check email, answer the phone, or tell my boys to turn the TV off. I plan on spending some sweet time with the Lord. It will be good. The only downside to camping......it sure is a lot of work!!!!!!

Blogging for the First time

It does take the Todds a bit to catch up with the times, but we eventually get there. Now that we have our own blog, I am now quite sure what we will do with it. But we are going to give it a shot.
The latest on the Todd family is that we have made the transition from Basketball to Baseball. The schedule is just as hectic - Practices on M, T, Th, F; Church on W & Su. The only difference is that we are outside rather than in a gym. The outdoors can be very nice, very windy, and/ or very cold depending on the hour. The boys are having fun, so we enjoy letting them enjoy it. Basketball finished with a bang - Bryce's team won the YMCA tournament and Blaine's team got second in their respective divisions. The nice thing about the Baseball season is that there are no games on Saturdays!! Finally we get one day during the week without consistent obligations.
