Where have I been?

So it's been a LONG time since I have updated our blog. Real quick (yeah right) I will try to sum up our week. Monday was work and Jakob's baseball practice...nothing too exciting. Tuesday was work, Jakob's baseball practice, and a Steer varsity baseball game. Now for Andy it was work, Jakob's baseball practice, 2 Lady Steer softball games, and 2 Steer baseball games. Wednesday was the only "down day" we had. It was work and then I went to a friends house for girls night while Andy took the boys out for boys night out. Kaleb LOVES boys night out and it is awesome for him, as well as Andy and Jakob...Kaleb is fixing to reach that point of not wanting to spend time with us so we are eating it up while he still "likes" us. Thursday was a long day, we had work then hosted a junior high track meet...AGAIN! We had one on March 5th and you would have thought they all got enough of it but apparently not because we had to have another. Andy of course was running the training room and I was running the results/awards room. Basically what I do is after the race/field events get done, the sheet with the times, distances gets brought to me and I figure out the athletes places, enter all the necessary info into the computer program I wrote a few years ago and from there I get team point totals and a "results page" for the schools with who got what place and what their time/distance was. I then put their medals and/or ribbons (depending on where they placed) in their packet for the coaches after the meet. I love doing it and 12 years ago when I started in the tally room there were 8 of us and we hand-wrote everything. Now with my computer program I am the only one needed. I do always get a couple close friends to work in the room with me so we can have some fun. Mission accomplished! Friday (today) was busy because we had work, Andy covered the 2 Howard College baseball games for the trainer at Howard (Howard is ranked #1 in the nation right now) and then he had 2 Lady Steer softball games. I cooked mom and dad a birthday dinner today since yesterday was their birthday (121 combined age) and then there was cleaning up the mess at mom's house from us all eating and cleaning up the mess here from cooking. Oh well it was worth it...they seemed to really enjoy it! Tomorrow Jakob has his baseball game at 9:30 (YUCK!) so we have to be there at 9...this is A.M. people...I am NOT a morning person!!! Then we have 2 Steer baseball games starting at 4:30...yippee! I will hopefully get some great pictures and will be able to get them posted...notice I said hopefully. Well that's our week...now on to some random pictures.

The boys last year at the airshow in San Angelo. We got to see the Thunderbirds fly...it was awesome. It was their 1st airshow of the season...unfortunately we are not going to be able to see them or the Blue Angels this year, neither one is coming close.The boys watching the airshow. Since the jet engines are so loud the boys needed ear protection. This way they didn't have to spend the whole time sticking their fingers in their ears!
