Trip to OKC

What can I say? It's just a funny picture!



Grandma acted just like a teen-aged girl. She talked on the phone all weekend. Couldn't pry her away! :)




Taken by Hadley. Definitely better than a couple of the others she took of me, so I'll post the best one, even though I don't like it!



And, if she wasn't talking on the phone, she was making us eat at Whataburger.

We really had a good time--other than the fact that Hadley's soccer team stunk up the fields and lost every game and the Grandma decided to get sick. It was really nice to stay with her---hopefully we'll be able to do it again soon with better results! Love you Grandma!

And she goes for the save!

Hadley played volleyball today. It was pretty exciting---the best so far. They played the newest middle school in Amarillo and won. Got this great shot and thought you'd like to see her save it--which she did!

Procrastination Wednesday

So I have a million things that need to be done--I think that number might be literal. What am I doing instead?? Taking pictures, of course! Max just looked so cute lying in the chair, I just had to get one and share it. Hope you're having a good Wednesday!

My li'l fencer

Fencing tonight. Thought I'd share a few pics. He sure seems to like it, judging by the big smiles all night.

Family Times at the Golden Corral

Sounds like a bad western, huh? Had some fun family times this weekend. Grandma and Jean were here for the weekend, so we got to visit with them some. Today, we got to see Eva (Grandma's sister), Huck, Lisha and Cid (2 of their kids). Eva had a high school reunion to attend in Happy, which is why they were in town from AZ. We ate together at Golden Corral and visited for about 3 hours. It was a lot of fun---always nice to see family! David and Hadley missed out-she played soccer in Lubbock this weekend. Hopefully, she'll have some time with Grandma next weekend since we are planning to stay with her while we're in OKC. I didn't take many pictures---it always seems harder when I'm in the middle of it all. Need to work on that! I never get as many as I want... Anyway, enjoy these.

Meant to mention in the earlier post... I have a good friend--Julie Sutterfield, who desperately needs your prayers. She's a single mom, with sole custody of her 5th grade daughter, who just found out she has an inoperable brain tumor, stage IV cancer. They haven't offered much hope--they may not be able to do anything at all. Even in the 2 or so weeks since she found out, she has developed many new symptoms and isn't doing well at all. She's wobbly, nauseous, and losing her short term memory. I don't think she's told her daughter many details yet, so I'm letting you know just in case. It breaks my heart--Julie has had so much tragedy in her life and is such a sweet person in spite of it all. Anyway, if you will, please pray for her and Audrey and add her to your church prayer lists. She desperately needs them! Her site is HERE if you're interested in seeing pics (one of them has already appeared on this blog--she was one of the KISS bunko girls)--or more details.

2 teenagers in 1 house!?

Sounds like the pits fun, right??? :) Yep. Hadley turned 13 yesterday. I didn't get any pictures of the actual day, but I took one today with her wearing her birthday present. When she came home from camp this summer, she told us of a blue haven necklace/charm she was dying for but didn't have enough money in her trading post account. So, when Tyler went a week later, we sent money with him to buy it and have been saving it for her birthday. She was very surprised and happy... It didn't come with a chain, so we just got back from James Avery where we picked one out. I think it looks great on her.



Also, thought you'd enjoy this snap of Lance doing his crossguard duty... on crazy hat day! Doesn't he look awesome???
