Soccer Practice #2


Today was practice #2.  Coach Lewis is getting a bit more relaxed with the whole coaching thing.  Coach Bailey was out sick again so I had to step up and help out.  Flip-flops were never meant to be soccer shoes...ouch!  The Red-Breakers had their first scrimmage and did awesome.  I think the kids look forward to the Ring-pops dished out at the end of practice.  In fact, word had gotten out we had extras to dole out. :)

I know, I know...it's been almost another year!!!


Another year has passed and I cannot believe it has flown by!!! Charlie has gotten so big too fast! He is the most precious little being out there. To see him grow to where he is today is a true blessing.


He is now in his last Pre-K class and is loving every minute of it! The First School has been such a wonderful school for Charlie and I am so going to miss it after this school year. I have had the most rewarding opportunity to help out at his school and to be closer to all the teachers there. I have a great respect for all of them for all that they do for my child.
He has started Soccer for the fall. This year is a little bit more of a special year because his daddy is coaching his team "The Red-Breakers". Not only is Chuck coaching but the assistant coach is my step-daughter, Bailey. It is truly a great bonding experience for the family to be together like this.
Speaking of Bailey, she has graduated (in four years might I add) at the University of Arkansas and is in her MAT program. She is loving this experience. She has a true calling and anyone will be blessed to have her in their lives. She is engaged to her high-school sweetheart, Chris and plans are on the way for their wedding in the summer of 2010. I have the honor of being the Matron of Honor and also Mother of the Bride. I am just tickled pink over all of this! I am so happy for her and wish her only the best!
Chuck is doing well. He has a lot on his plate but is a true trooper!! I look up to him everyday and am very thankful that he is a part of my life. He is such an amazing husband and father. He so puts up with a bunch of my crap and keeps on keepin on. The man needs a medal!!
As for me...well I don't have time for all that! I was lucky to type the above! Third times a charm, right?? Let's see what this year will bring..

My Best Girls!!

Today was a great day!!  Me and the girls' that have stayed true to me all got together for a GNO.  We had such a fantastic time together.  Megan moved back from Little Rock, Melinda drove over from Tulsa and Claire flew out from Georgia.  We don't see much of each other AT ALL!!  I still keep in contact via phone but  no matter how long we have been a part from one another it was like we just saw one another the day before.  We just picked up where we let off.  We went out to Bordino's for dinner and then to Willy D's to let our hair down a bit!  Good times!  Let's not wait too long before we all get together again.
