Cedar Creek Lake

Cedar Creek Lake is the lake that Jeremy grew up on in East Texas. 4th of July weekend, Joe, Jeremy's brother in law, brought the boat along for the trip. We spent the day skiing, tubing, and relaxing on the lake and the evening watching the air show and fireworks from the surrounding lake cities. One show would end and another would begin! After the fireworks we went to some friends who live on the lake who were having a huge bonfire.

4th Of July

Jeremy's mom and Bob had a 4th of July party at their new house in Athens TX. Several of Jeremy's friends from East Texas and Bob and Cissy's friends and all of the family came to celebrate. Bob cooked a ton of food on the grill. Jeremy played washers and horseshoes. For those of you who don't know what washers is, it is a game that seems to be very popular in Texas! It consists of a board with 3 holes and 6 3 inch washers. You get a certain number of points for each hole you make the washer into...I know...we are high tech here in Texas! When it came time for the Lake Athens fireworks, we had front row seats in the backyard.

Reckless Kelly

My favorite music group, Reckless Kelly was in town in Lewisville right by Jeremy's house for Highland Village Red, White, and Blue days. We decided to go last minute and almost gave up when the highway was backed up mile and the side roads were all blocked to the event. Luckily, Jeremy navigated his way around and we managed to find a parking spot on a side street that was not too far of a walk to the park. When we got to the park they had food pavillions, jump houses and all sorts of activities set up all around. We wished we had Hayllee with us. There was a decent crowd and everyone just layed out their blankets and chiars and listened to the concert. Not knowing what exactly to expect, Jeremy and I had not come prepared at all but still had a great time. When Reckless was done performing they had a huge firework show right over the park and we had a perfect view.

Go Rangers

I'm a little behind on keeping this blog updated as summer has gone by much quicker than I anticipated and was packed full of fun and exciting times. I'll do my best to get everyone caught up! On my birthday Jeremy, Hayllee, and my friend Ashley and I all went to the Rangers game. This is actually not the only one we have gone to this season. We have a special ticket package and have gone to several and have several more games to attend. It has been fun watching our young team play better and better and even be contenders for the wild card in the playoffs. We have becomd accustomed to losing in the past, so this year is fun with the turn around of actually winning! Hayllee is quite the little ranger fan and has her own ranger jersey and became a member of the kids fan club which is not a bad deal with coupons for $6 adult tickets and free kids tickets! She thinks whenever we go to a game that she must have all of her ranger gear on, including her #1 fan hand, and have a hot dog and peanuts!

2008 - So Far

Hi friends and family! I know most of you don't have myspace or facebook so I decided that I would give this a try like many of my other friends are doing to keep up to date and in touch. With summer coming, I may actually be pretty good about keeping it up to date!

So far this year has been busy with coaching tennis, playing softball, going to Hayllee's soccer, basketball, and now softball games, 4 wheeling, and of course work. In January, Jeremy and I took Hayllee and went with his sister and niece to New Mexico (finally made it to my 50th state) for some skiing. In March I took 20 tennis players to San Antonio for a tournament where we also found some time for sightseeing. We have enjoyed hanging out with friends at Crawfish Boils and 4-wheeling in Athens Texas. With summer coming things may slow down a bit and hopefully there will be time for fun somewhere hot and relaxing!
