SPRING BREAK 2010'






WELL SPRING BREAK HAS COME AND GONE AND WE ARE ALREADY AT THE END OF MARCH.. THIS YEAR SEEMS TO BE FLYING BY.. I REMEMBER SOMEONE SAYING THE OLDER YOU GET, THE FASTER THE YEARS ROLL BY AND BOY IS THAT TRUE.. ALL THOUGH I AM STILL 29:) WE HAD A GREAT SPRING BREAK, WE DID NOT GET TO GO ANYWHERE THIS YEAR DUE TO PHILLIP BEING ON THE HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL TEAM, HE HAD GAMES SO HE HAD TO BE HERE..BUT THAT WAS OK IT TURNED OUT OK.. OUR GOOD FRIENDS THE LONGS FROM ST LOUIS CAME UP AND SPENT THE WEEK WITH US. WE ALWAYS HAVE SO MUCH FUN WITH THEM, THEY HAVE TRULY BECOME LIKE FAMILY TO US..THEIR BOYS ARE DIRT BIKE RIDERS AND SO THEY BROUGHT THEIR BIKES AND GOT TO RIDE EVERYDAY. THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN PEYTON'S DREAM SINCE HE WAS 2 TO RIDE DIRT BIKES.. I CAN REMEMBER HIM IN HIS CAR SEAT MAKING MOTORCYCLE SOUNDS AND EVERY TIME HE SAW ONE ON THE ROAD HE WOULD SCREAM LOOK LOOK.. SO HIS DREAM FINALLY CAME TRUE,WHILE THEY WERE HERE THE TRACK THAT THEY WERE RIDING AT WAS HOSTING A BEGINNERS CAMP THAT WEEK SO WE SIGNED HIM UP AND I CAN NOT EVEN BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW EXCITED HE WAS.. THE LONGS WERE SO SWEET, THEY HAVE KNOWN PEYT SINCE HE WAS 2 AND HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT THIS WAS HIS PASSION AND SO THEY BROUGHT HIM ALL OF THE GEAR THAT HE NEEDED, JERSEY, PANTS, BOOTS, GLOVES AND HELMET AND OH MY GOODNESS YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HIS FACE WHEN THEY GAVE HIM THOSE THINGS, HE WAS SO EXCITED!! SO OFF HE GOES TO CAMP AND HAD A BLAST, HE DID REALLY WELL FOR SOMEONE WHO HAD NEVER RIDDEN BEFORE. HE DID SAY AT THE END OF THE DAY THAT HE WAS TIRED AND THAT RIDING WAS HARD WORK ON YOUR LEGS.. HE DID HAVE FUN THOUGH AND SAYS HE STILL WANTS TO RIDE BUT WE HAVEN'T REALLY SEEN THE PASSION THAT WE THOUGHT WE WOULD SEE AFTER THE FACT.. TO BE HONEST I AM HOPING HE WILL FIND ANOTHER LOVE,MOTORCYCLES SCARE ME TO DEATH AND I SURE DON'T WANT TO SEE HIM GET HURT..PHILLIP PLAYED A FEW GAMES OVER SPRING BREAK AND HAD PRACTICES SO HE WAS BUSY WITH THAT BUT OH MY DID ALL OF THOSE BOYS HAVE FUN.. THEY PLAYED BASKETBALL AND BASEBALL AND WE WENT OUT TO EAT A FEW TIMES,OF COURSE THEY PLAYED VIDEO GAMES AND WATCHED MOVIES AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THEIR LATE NIGHT CONVERSATIONS WERE WHEN THE LIGHTS WERE OUT AND THE DOOR WAS SHUT, HA HA HA.. BUT OH THAT IS WHAT MAKES THE FUN MEMORIES...THEY LEFT ON SATURDAY MORNING BRIGHT AND EARLY AND I HAVE TO SAY I WAS REALLY SAD.. LIKE I SAID WE ALWAYS HAVE ALOT OF FUN AND ALOT OF LAUGHS WITH THEM.. MARGY DOESN'T REALLY LIKE TO SHOP BUT I TURNED HER INTO A SHOPPER WHILE SHE WAS HERE, WE WENT TO HARWIN FOR THE DAY AND HAD A BLAST. I AM SURE SHE NEEDED A VACATION WHEN SHE GOT HOME.. THANKS FOR COMING TO VISIT, WE ENJOYED YALL SO MUCH AND LOVE AND MISS YOU BUNCHES! WE HOPE THAT YALL HAD A GREAT SPRING BREAK TOO... A FEW MORE WEEKS AND SUMMER WILL BEGIN, AND I CAN NOT WAIT!! THANKS FOR MAKING US A PART OF YOUR DAY.. CHECK BACK AND SEE WHAT THE RAY BOYS ARE UP TO NEXT!!!

OUR JEEP EVEN HAS CARDINALS ON IT SO THESE PEOPLE PROBABLY THINK WE TAKE OUR LITTLE LEAGUE TEAM SERIOUS..LOL..I CAN NOT WAIT TO WATCH MY BOYS PLAY AND MESH AS A TEAM WITH THEIR NEW TEAMMATES AND ALSO GET TO KNOW THE OTHER PARENTS. IF YOU HAVE EVER PLAYED ON A TEAM OR HAD A CHILD PLAY YOU KNOW YOU SEE THE SAME PEOPLE EVERY WEEK SOMETIMES 3 OR 4 TIMES SO YOU BECOME FRIENDS AND THEN YOU TRULY BECOME LIKE A FAMILY AND I LOVE THAT..ITS SUCH A FUN TIME AND I AM SO THANKFUL TO GOD THAT MY BOYS ARE HEALTHY AND ABLE TO PLAY BALL AND I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT CHUCK IS A HEALTHY MAN WHO IS ABLE TO COACH AND SPEND TIME WITH HIS CHILDREN AND OTHER PEOPLES TOO..
