A Day With My Team

Today I took my team to do some community service. They sold raffle tickets to help raise money for the YWCA. It was a champagne brunch and all the people that attended (mostly women) kept telling me how sweet and cute my team was. I was one proud momma coach...haha!

It was held at the Fort Worth Convention Center and only in Texas would you see a big iron star with cowboy hats all over it....can I get a YEEHAW!!!! My friend who now lives in California with her country accent calls Texas, "The Great Nation". :) I am very proud of my state but I would love to live in California as well!!

I promised my team I would take them to the infamous Fuzzy's Taco Shop. It is on the campus of TCU. They thought it would be funny to lock me outside.....don't worry...I will get the last laugh!! :)

After Fuzzy's they sweet-talked me in to taking them to Marble Slab.....guess they didn't want to make it back to 4th period....surprise surprise. You know me...you mention something sweet and I'm all about it! So of course we get there and there is only one lady working. No problem....Brooke used to work there so she hopped behind the counter and helped serve her team. We finally made it back to campus....after I tricked half of the girls into "smelling their ice cream"...hello...that is the oldest trick in the book....suckers! Told you I would get the last laugh! Have a great weekend everyone!

Sweet Trinity

Trinity received her 3rd Character Award today. She got 2 when she was in Kindergarten. I am so proud of her!! I wish my camera was fixed so I didn't have to take pictures with my phone! As you can see, the quality is not so great. I must say...I feel a little lost without it. :)

The week is almost over yet we still have a lot going on ....2 counter games for me on Friday and Saturday......Logan's baseball game.....a birthday party ...my hair appt (yay! :)) ...Booster Club Clay Shoot.....and Logan gets to go with the Fuente's to TCU football practice. Phew....that's a busy next couple of days. Now I'm really sad that I don't have my camera...ugh!!

I hope everyone is having a great week. It is finally October and Christmas will be here before we know it....crazy huh. Enjoy the cooler temps and have a great weekend!!

Class Pictures...

Kansas- 4th grade


Trinity- 2nd grade


Logan- Kindergarten

The kids got their school pictures back and I just had to post them again like I did last year. Kansas wants to take retakes but I think hers are fine even though she has a "sleepy smile". I am so glad they are all finally together at All Saints'. The school year is going well. We just found out that Trinity will be receiving a Character Award also! At the football game on Friday, when they played the National Anthem, she stopped playing and put her hand over her heart....she then started trying to get all the kids around her to do the same. A teacher at school saw her and told Dr. Pitre. I am so proud of my kiddos!!

Blue Jays Baseball 2009

The Blue Jays got to play today since it finally stopped raining! Unfortunately my camera is not working properly so Gene took it in to get fixed. I was left to take pictures with my phone...no bueno! Logan did very well for his first coach-pitch game. I am very proud of him. In the picture above he is playing catcher....he also played pitcher and outfield.

He looks like he knows what he is doing doesn't he. :) I guess watching baseball on ESPN 24-7 has helped.....and having Coach John as his coach! They had a double-header against the Rangers and they won both 10-1!! Logan scored in both games but I am more proud when he plays good defense. At the end of game 2 he got a triple....hit it nice and hard down the 1st baseline.

After the game, some of us headed to Chick-fil-a. What a great day...watching my son play the sport he loves and hanging out with my friends while I do it. Another double-header tomorrow. Have a great weekend!

It's Back.....

I woke up this morning to this face.....his mohawk or "Lohawk" as Logan likes to call it is back! His daddy thought he would be sneaky and cut his hair while I was fast asleep. I had a long weekend....took my volleyball girls on a road trip to Austin. We did well one match and not so well the other match. What can I say...I am dealing with teenage girls! So needless to say...I was looking forward to sleeping in on my one day off. I do miss his curls but they were getting a little crazy. Logan loves his new style! We will see what his teachers and friends say.... ;)

Rain...Rain....Go AWAY!!!

This has been the view from my office window for the past week! Nothing but rain. I know we needed it but I think we are a little water logged now! Our campus sits on over a 100 acres and everything is nice and green but I need some sun people!! It always seems like it is hard to get motivated in this type of weather. I just want to sit on my couch and watch some tv when it is raining. :) Despite all the gloomy weather, my team did beat Trinity Valley in 3 straight games on Tuesday....just thought y'all needed a little pick me up after the first few sentences...hehe. We head to Austin this weekend for a couple matches. Go Saints! Since it has been so wet, Logan has yet to play in his first coach pitch baseball game. Keep your fingers crossed that they will get their games in next weekend. Hope all is well with everyone and I will do my best not to write any more boring posts like this one! :) Have a good one!

UTA Volleyball Reunion!!

Me, Mandy, Sue, Yoko & Tina
UTA VOLLEYBALL....back together again! Last night we had a UTA Volleyball reunion and we went and watched the current team play OU. It was a great match but unfortunately UTA lost in game 5. It brings back a lot of memories walking back into Texas Hall. The best thing was seeing my old teammates and talking about good times.

This is an OLD pic from back in the day....that is Mandy and I warming up before a game.

Sue (with pitcher in hand :)) left her 4 kiddos and hubby and flew down from Chicago to hang out with us. It was so good to see her. We were suite-mates our freshman year and roomates our sophomore year!

Whitney, my friend and Asst. Coach came to watch OU play cause she knows the coach.

Here is the gang....some of us played together, some of us didn't. Go MAVS!

UTA vs. OU.....September 12, 2009 @ good ol' Texas Hall

The Springers were there to watch the action....Bailey is one of my outside hitters on my volleyball team. That girl is going to play college volleyball wherever her heart desires!

My old teammates and friends for life....Tina, Mandy, Yvette, Yoko (and her beautiful twins) and Sue. It was so great to see all of them and I look forward to the next gathering. All of these ladies mean so much to me and we share so many great memories! Y'all better keep in touch!!

Love you all,

Random Ray :) haha
