Two pretty cool guys!

This is my oldest brother Tracy (the coach) and my Pawpaw. This picture was taken a couple years ago in Pine Bluff when my brother brought his team (from Texas) to town to play in a tournament. My Pawpaw LOVES to watch my brother coach - we ALL do. My mom has taken him down to Texas a few times to watch. He eats it up. He's so proud of Tracy. He is a great coach...been named east Texas coach of the year a time or two. As I type this I'm sitting listening online to one of his games. He's in the state playoffs. They go five rounds and he's in the fourth round right now. He's never gotten past the fourth. Never. They play the best 2 out of 3 games (a series). He won earlier in the week and is in the 2nd game right now. He's down 6-1in the bottom of the seventh with 2 outs. Looks like one more game tomorrow. He's gotta win it! Break the 4th round luck. He's playing the team that we saw play when we were down there with Rafael Palmero's son on it.

Lost...we'll be listening tomorrow.

My niece Taylor being crazy.
Aren't her eyes beautiful?

My nephew Kyle.

I SO wish they lived closer. I love these guys!

Blue Eyed Horn Tooter

Monday night was Chase's last concert of his Freshman year. They were good, of course-but not quite as good as usual. This concert seemed a little more laid back. The band banquet was weekend before last. Carson had a game at the same time and since Mike missed an earlier concert he got to go to the banquet.
Chase loves the band.
I'm glad. He's good at it.
He was chosen as Freshman representative back early in the school year. He takes it seriously. He was again chosen representative this year. Sophomore rep. He told me they have to carry the water coolers during summer practice. Slopdogs. That's what one of my crazy teacher's (Mr. Fincher) used to call sophomores. I'm sure he'll have other chores as Slopdog rep.
The best picture I could get. (Not sure what's up with blogger's formatting lately. Hopefully it'll get fixed soon because this looks crazy to me.)

The girlfriend

Oh, I forgot to mention. This is the result of cleaning Chase and Carson's room. Yes, it was my fault - and just ask EVERYONE in the ER at Springhill. That was the answer that was given by my two little lovelies when asked what happened. A couple weeks ago I cleaned attempted to clean their room. I took a few a bunch of trophies off of their dresser to dust. The older ones I sat on the floor so I could box them up and put them in the attic along with a bagillion few other trophies from long years past. Do you see where I'm going with this? I was standing at the door to their closet looking for a T-shirt that I wanted to wear...because we are backslidden sinners missed church. As I'm standing there...Chase comes up to me from behind and hugs me and tells me Happy Mother's Day. Ahhhh....thanks, dude! As he turns to walk away....OH NO! yes, yes....he steps on one of those STUPID trophies that I had just thrown in the floor taken such care to clean. ER visit. No stitches. Not enough skin left to sew. Soak it. Wrap it. Crutches.
Milk it for all it's worth!

Chase and girl. You know by now her name is Allison but I call her girl...to aggravate as a term of endearment.


Love that expensive smile!

Sometimes his eyes look so blue. Reminds me of his PeePaw's if they are just blue enough. I think the shirt really brought them out.
We have GOT to get that haircut.

Out of Doors

These pics are fom my parents house. The flowers almost look fake to me.











I remember these pots being at my Grannie's house. I never really cared for them and remembered thinking they were ugly. Now my mom has them on her front porch and I love them. They are the neatest things.

Lots of fun times spent on that swing. I used to crawl all over it. I'd take the swing off and do flips off of the top bar. Time spent doing homework and playing with my friends Dawn, Debbie and Boo.

The stepping stones by the bird bath I made a couple of years ago for my parents for Christmas. There are three and each one contains either a footprint or a handprint of my boys with the words "The road to Nana and Poppa's house is never long" Why didn't I get a picture? For another post...
