T.G.I.F.

Need I say more?...........................

Woo Hoo!!

The 8th grade played North Lamar, there, Thursday night.  We lost 24-8, but those boys played sooo good!  I know that sounds weird to say they lost but played good, but if you'd have seen last week's game, you'd know what I mean!!  I have to brag a little.....Caleb made the only touchdown last night.  He picked up North Lamar's fumble and ran it in for a TD then our extra 2 points was good.  Later he caught the kick-off and ran about 50 yards before they managed to bring him down.  He ran about 30 of those yards "carrying" about 5 boys along for the ride!!  It was so awesome and those boys were soo pumped up!!  Even though they didn't win, you couldn't tell it....they were pumped and high 5'ing and so excited!!

Inviting Get-a-way

Ever wish you could escape the everyday grind for a few days and "re-group"?  Wouldn't this be the place to go?

Sad Tigers

Well, as you can see....we didn't win last night.  We were just off it seems.  Looked like nearly every play was off....lots of fumbles, missed passes.  But we're not gonna let this get keep us down.  We're gonna come back next week full of fire and beat Paris!!!!

Tigers vs. Rabbits

Well, the MVJH Tigers will go up against the Atlanta Rabbits tonight at home.  This is the 2nd District game, we played Pleasant Grove last week and won 14-6.  The boys really needed that win to boost their spirits.  Hope they play as well tonight and can put another win under their belt!!!  Stay tuned......

Thought for the day

The Spanking

Well....if you didn't watch.....OU SPANKED the Longhorns behinds today!!!  55-10.  As bad as I hate to admit it........their defense was awesome!!  There's not a lot of words to say.....BOO HOO!  Better luck next time.....I'll still be cheering,  



Texas/OU Week-end!

GO LONGHORNS!!!!!

My boss is an OU fan and member of their alumni, so we continually pick on each other during college football season.  He teases me about the Longhorns and I tease him about OU.  Texas just HAS to beat OU!!!  I have to be able to go back to work Monday with a victory!!!  Hook 'em Horns!!

Gather at the River

This was not my chair, but you get the idea!



One of our daughters and son-in-law own some property on the Red River.  They are in the process of building a "hunting cabin".  This weekend we spent some time up there.  Mike and Caleb were helping build it and then Sunday they went down to the river and tried their hands at fishing.  They were using that nasty "stink bait"!!  It's disgusting.....they all got some bites, but every time they would bring their line and hook in, it would be empty.  This went on for a few hours.  Caleb even tried wading out into the river some, where he was sure they're be bigger, better fish, but still nothing.  I took my lawn chair and sat on the sand with my Diet Coke and magazine and soaked up the sun.  It was so peaceful and serene.  I was sitting there looking around and watching them fish when we first got there and I couldn't help but thank God for creating such beauty.  Sometimes we don't "stop to smell the roses" enough.  But when we do, it's just almost breathtaking and makes me know what an AWESOME God we have.  Enjoy your week.  I will post pictures next time we go.....got off, of course, without my camera!!

Smurfs & Grasshoppers!!

Last Saturday the 24th was our youngest granddaughter's 1st soccer game!  Averie's team is called the Smurfs and their opponent was the Grasshoppers!  It was quite entertaining to say the least.....the Smurfs were all jumbled up with the Grasshoppers and it was TOTAL mayhem!!  Averie had to take lots of water breaks and would have rather sit in either Memaw Sue's lap or in mine (Nana's).  Our team would kick it really good the 1st time and then they seemed to just watch or even help the Grasshoppers get it down to their goal.  They hadn't seemed to grasp the concept of kicking it into their own goal!  Needless to say the Grasshoppers whopped the Blue Smurfs 7-0.  It was fun to watch.  The played again today and lost 2-0, but they had fun running all around the field just the same.
