Stuff

I haven't posted in a while, so i thought i would update everyone on whats going on.... Randi just finished her fall season with great results. I pulled up TVCC's website Wednesday afternoon and like to have fainted. There was an article on there that was mostly Randi. My baby in college, getting that, i am so proud. I know she worked so hard for this. She has done a great job so far this year in school. I even like her new boyfriend. He seems to be really great....

Jessi is having a little trouble. I won't go into it here, but lets just say she got screwed, but its okay, all will be okay and she will be a better person for it. I am going to take her out tomorrow afternoon and take some pictures of her. I didn't and don't buy school pictures, since i can and like to take my own, so we are going to go take some tomorrow, if the weather permits. I need some of Josh, but that is next to impossible. He hates to have his picture taken.

Josh hates homework and is about to drive me nuts. I just wish he would do the crap and get it over with, but no.... we have to fight everynight... Football is almost over for him. He has two games left. Hope he does well in them...

I am finally driving my mustang. Her name is Lucy. She really needs a paint job, but i will get her one soon. Jessi hates her... Oh well not much i can do about that... Josh likes her... anyway.. i will see if i have any pictures... I think i have some of Randi the weekend of her birthday. I swear I have no idea how she got to be 19 I am not old enough to have a 19 year old... lol...

Football...

We watched Josh play football on Saturday morning, this was his second game, but he didn't do so hot in that game, he really stepped it up on his second game. He threw for a 15 yard pass, (and he isn't the qb), then he scored a touchdown. IT was great. He did a great job. He also got in there on defense and did really good there too....

Space Shuttle

While we were at the tournament in Bossier City, we were sitting there watching the game and there had been big planes flying over all day, and we were able to watch them bring in the space shuttle. And of course i got pictures. I have posted the best one.. It was really neat to watch...

Randi's first College tournament.....

I got to go to Randi's first college tournament, it was in Bossier City Louisana.... What a trip. Mark, Josh and I went and i think had a pretty good time, although i was worn out on Monday.. I took about 350 pictures and have added some here. I have her first at bat, her first time to stand on third and her first pitch... I did get some really good pictures. I also took some of some of the other girls, but don't have them on here. It was really nice to get to see the first time she stepped on the field for college. She had a pretty good tournament i thought.... Anyway....

Booster Club

Okay folks the Gatesville All sports booster club paid for the varsity football players, trainers and video people anyway....... i took some pictures....... so here they are....

Well its been a while since i have posted anything.. Not that anyone reads this or cares, but anyway... lol....Things have been crazy... We got Randi off to TVCC.. I swear it about killed me, but i seem to be living through it... anyway... Jessi is playing softball with AXE out of the metroplex, thank God for Julie who takes her to all that crap.. Her and Morgan played in Waco two weeks ago and it went really well. Jess did an awesome job... i will attach some pictures from that tournament, plus the few i have from Randi moving in her dorm. I also made a flying trip up there last Friday night to take her, her broken tail light. I watched a four hour practice, i don't know how they do it. I took Kritty with me.. That was entertaining to say the least...

Turning 40

Turning 40 is turning out to be quite and adventure. My birthday isn't until tomorrow but i am taking off tomorrow, so Brenda and Stephanie at my office decieded that today would be a great day to help me celebrate... So I get out to the truck this morning and find dead flowers.... then i get to the office and well i am just going to attach the pictures for you to see... Brenda did get me a very nice watch.... I love it... Anyway... See for yourself what they did to me... There is more, but for some reason i can't get the pictures put in the right order, so i left them out... but on the floor when you first walk in the office. it has pieces of paper with Look who is turning the big 40 Dede Smith.. These are on the floor leading to my office with dead rose petals... really funny...

Insane

You know you must be insane when you buy your daughter a new car and the bumper sticker she must have comes from the ASA Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City.. I told her i would replace hers, since the other one is on her old truck. So i go online today and order the 3.95 sticker.. The shipping was 7.95..... so this bumper sticker is costing me 12... i almost could have driven to Oklahoma for it.. Geez.... Talk about spoiled..... I shouldn't have told her i would do that, but its too late now... Well anyway... have a great day..

Rambo's car

Well Randi got a car for graduation. We had been toying with her for about the last several months letting her look at cars, and then telling her no. We finally went and got it the day the girls played in the semifinals in Austin. We drove it down that night and showed it to her. It was really cool. Here are some pictures of her with it...

Well another softball weekend has come and gone... Jessi played this past weekend in Garland with Morgan on Morgan's team Axe. They have asked her to come play with them permanent.... Jessi really liked the girls and the coaches, and she didn't do too bad playing either. Its always my worst fear they will get up there and forget how to play. She played short stop for them and pitched a game.. It was a good experience. If she does go play for them I won't be able to go much. Julie has offered to take her and since Jessi already thinks she is Julies that will be fine... I just hate not to get to go.. it drives me crazy and i am on the phone with someone 24/7 trying to find out how they are doing. Anyway it was fun to watch Morgan. Those two are a trip together... Anyway both girls are playing this weekend in Waco. Jessi will play for Texas Ice and Rambo is playing with the Batbusters... So another busy weekend. Plus we are finally having Randi's graduation party.. Just a tad bit late, but oh well better late than never..

Everyday occurence at my house...

the girls goofing off..

Well as it turns out I took Randi and Megan Chartiers senior pictures...We had a really good time doing it. We went in April and went all over the place. The problem is I wasn't able to do cap and gown pictures that day, because they hadn't gotten them yet. My plans were to go back and take them and well the state softball playoffs got in the way.. (not that i minded) so anyway i now have to DRAG Randi out to take hers... Wish me luck... I am going to add some of the pictures that I didn't put on face book. I didn't want to put them all on there.. So here are a few more.. I have some of Jessi too, she went with us and i took some of her and some of her and Randi.. Jessi is such a ham.. Its fun to take her pictures, except when she gives me this fake smile.. lol..
