Justins last weekend in the USA

He came up to see us for his last weekend. Randy took him fishing on Lake Jackson. Here's a couple shots from the day. We miss him and can't wait for him to get home.

Look like he's got one on

Nice one!

Looks like Justin won on this day...you know Randy wasn't happy about that!!

Tennis

Chelsea's tennis season has started. Her first match was not so much fun. It was 32 degrees with a wind chill of 17! WE WERE FREEZING! The pictures of her playing were too dark. Tori looks like she's falling over from freezing to death.

I told Randy no one would sit by us because he looked like a serial killer. I was calling him the Uni-Bomber all night.

Me - frozen to death

Race Day!

We all got up early on Sunday morning to head out at 8:00am. That was the day we moved the clocks forward so we lost an hour of sleep which was NOT good!

Just got to the Speedway

I mean, it was COLD

Then, there was a round of joke telling

More joke telling

Mary Jo and Roger

Dad and my Uncle Larry

Grizzly Adams aka Randy...he FINALLY shaved the animal hanging off his chin after the race. I'm SO happy to have my hot husband back!

Race Weekend!

So, last weekend we had the whole gang from PA come down for the Nascar race. Randy's brother, Kevin and his girlfriend Julie, Randy's sister, Mary Jo and her husband Roger, friends from State College PA, Mark and Paula and friends from Lancaster PA, Jay and Susan. WE HAD A GREAT TIME!! Everyone came in on Friday afternoon to get the party started. Friday night everyone got together at my house. My mom had a house full of Crass's who came in from Wisconsin and they all came too. It was a really fun night!

Mary Jo, Paula and Julie

Roger and Jay Mary Jo is ALWAYS the entertainment. I'd talked her into showing everyone how a girl on her old softball game used to pitch. I didn't have to beg too long and she was up to show us. As usual, I almost peed my pants laughing.

Apparently, she was snooping around in the shed and opened up a box of Randy's A - Game. Unfortunately, as you can see, it expired in May of 2006. This error in judgment landed her in the hospital the following Thursday!

Three of the guys (and Hunter the dog) slept in our camper...or "the Bungalow" as they called it.
Good Morning!
Saturday morning when we got up it was snowing! It was freezing cold, windy and it pretty much sucked. This is what the boys did all day.
Us girls stayed in the and played beauty parlor. Sam did it as you can see.
Julie, Mary Jo and Me...I do believe my "do" looks the best!

Oh and Sam lost yet another tooth!

Randy's project

So, Randy decided to build a deck behind our second garage. Here it is from start to almost finished.

Nothing but dirt

Chelsea and Justin helped too

You can see who's doing most of the work

Bumpa helped out quite a bit too

Getting there

Randy says it looks like a playpen!

Justin came up for his last weekend home before deploying to Iraq. He has made it safely and we miss him so much! Everyone keep him in your prayers!

Sam leveling concrete
Chels was the water girl for the concrete...of course she has to have her phone with her at all times...even if it means it's between her teeth.
