Along the way, we stopped over in Stephenville for a few days to visit with family. It was great to see them all. We had not seen them since Thanksgiving. Everything was well and the weather was nice....All in All.<br /><br />Aaron place 7th with is Hamp. Bailey placed 10th with her Duroc. Drew went to the truck. 2 out of 3 is pretty good. We had a nice time while we were there, but glad to see the stock show coming to an end. We LOVE it....but, just glad to see somethings come to an end.<br /><br />Bailey has been extremely busy....with Tennis & OAP. She will be done with tennis next week, that is when they have district. And OAP finished up yesterday......they did not advance to regionals....they are such a talented group of kids....I was sorry to hear.<br /><br />This last weekend, we had Pake & Tate at our house. KD & Tandy were gone to Nascar in Ft. Worth/Dallas. Wow...the boys had such a great time.....those boys just fit right in with my crew. They road dirt bikes , went to Little Dribblers games.....just had fun!<br /><br />The kids and I have been trying to go to some of the baseball games ..when they are here in town and the weather is nice.<br /><br />I am going to Floydada tomorrow for the JH track meet tomorrow to watch Aaron.

Bailey went straight through....it was okay, she was not upset. This was a backup pig that she took and plus, she had just gotten back from Ft. Worth, where she got a 5th place with Hulk (York). All in all we had a great time.<br /><br />Went out to eat at Texas Land & Cattle with Brad and James Hill. Plus, we all stayed at the same hotel (Drury Inn). So, the kids swam all week in the indoor pool, I enjoyed the hot tub.<br />The weather was really nice the whole time we were there.<br /><br />Got to visit with several people while we sat in the stands....Bailey and I went shopping at the outlet mall in San Marcos.<br /><br />Of course, I am still doing laundry......UGH!Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08280201725864438748noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655747052701945513.post-34002873898975199962009-02-14T09:52:00.000-08:002009-02-14T10:04:14.736-08:00Happy Valentines Day!Hope everyone has a great day. Mine will be a little lonely....<br /><br />Dexter and the big boys are gone to San Antonio...they left yesterday, had to haul pigs down for the show.<br /><br />Bailey is gone to D Now until Sunday morning.<br /><br />So it is just Brenden & I . We are trying to stay busy, rented movies last night and finishing up all my washing and packing. We are leaving tomorrow morning to head down. <br />The weather is suppose to be nice for most of the week. I'm ready to be away from here, just ready for a break from it all.<br /><br />Before it all starts again...And I have no time to myself......<br /><br />We are going to go to a movie & out to eat......he's my little Valentine!<br /><br />Have a good week......Pray a little prayer...that my kids do good at the show.Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08280201725864438748noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655747052701945513.post-77504902692405224642009-02-07T16:36:00.000-08:002009-02-07T17:01:47.871-08:00Gosh!!! I just do not know what to even say.....This is one of those times...that I am feeling like I want to write something to express my feelings. I know that is it hard to be a teenager in this time .....and it seems like there is always some kind of DRAMA....or at least that is the way it is in my house. I just do not understand why kids/teenagers are so cruel to each other. I mean they could be "best friends" with someone one day and the next they are spreading rumors and talking about each other. Why? What for? It is so crazy .<br /><br /> Maybe I do not remember how it was when I was that age. I remember girls being ugly and stuff...but, it is just gotten out of hand.<br /> <br />I guess with this new technology that is available...it makes it easier. The prank calls...the hateful texts that they send to each other.....they can do it so easy now....they do not have to look at that person in the eyes and say it.....our technology has made it too simple. They have labels for everyone it seems these days....is it the movies we see, the song we listen to...that it is acceptable for them to be so hateful towards one another.....<br /><br />I wonder have I been raising my children right? Will they say or act ugly towards others? I am sure that they have....I'm not always around to tell them not to. And as I was told by one of mine.....Would you not want to defend myself, when people are saying stuff about them. Yes, I want you to defend yourself....but, you do not have to ugly about it. I have just about decided that ignoring it, is almost the best way to go about it. But, it is not me they are saying stuff about. Eventhough it does make me sad to know that it is happening.<br /><br />It saddens me that kids can be friends with someone for 12 or more years....and then it seems like in a day or so....they are not even talking. Why? No one is always happy with their friends....but, that does not mean that you do not care about them.....Come on!<br /><br />Learning to accept our differences may be a something that we are not teaching our kids these days. Things happen....people talk....no one is perfect!

Is all that I can say.<br /><br />I have some amazing girl friends in my life. Last week I had my birthday. And it was the BIG 40. YEP!<br />I was told by Tandy that she was picking me up at 9:30 am on Sat. morning and to ready to go. I had no idea what to expect...I was told nothing....just to be ready.<br /><br />I was kidnapped...that it was I like to say. Tandy & Tish had been making all the arrangments and had set it all up. They took me to Lubbock and out to lunch at Harrigan's. We meet Chalone there. Then they took me to a SPA for the afternoon......we got massages, facials and pedicures. WOW!!!! It was awesome. And I had no clue........It made turning 40 really special. Something I will never forget and will always cherish.<br /><br />On Sunday....Bailey & I went to see Deirkes Bentley & Brad Paisley....it was an awesome concert.Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08280201725864438748noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655747052701945513.post-31104178410958962302009-01-20T07:17:00.001-08:002009-01-26T13:06:34.292-08:00Stock ShowThis past Saturday was the Tulia Stock Show and Sunday/Monday was the Swisher County Stock Show.<br /><br />What a weekend!

It is hard to get to do that with all the activities that are going on right now.<br /><br />But, at least when we do get to something ....it is marking one more "to do" off my LIST.<br />Yeah....one less thing to remember or be at. It gets kinda crazy this time of year.

I'm so lucky to have them in my life. When I first moved to Tulia ( almost 16 years ago) I knew no one...and it was very sad for me.<br /><br />But, when Bailey was 2 , I was introduced to a great gal.....Tish....she just took me right in and it did help that she had a boy( T) who was 2 too. So, we became fast friends.....there have been times in our years that we not see that much of each other.....she was going to school, I was working, she was working, she was going to school....but, we have always stayed friends.....in the past she was there supporting me and I hope I was there to support her....we both have twins....another bond....lol.....<br /><br />I have many others gals too....Tandy(sister-in-law), she is more than that......more of a sister to me....I'm closer to her than my own sis.....we have always had lots of fun together......she is really good to my kids too. Plus, many others ......the list goes on and on......<br /><br />I LOVE YOU ALL......ForeverSherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08280201725864438748noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655747052701945513.post-28126127995171831092008-12-09T06:45:00.000-08:002008-12-09T07:28:35.339-08:00Trying to Be Positive!!!!As, you can guess from my top line....that I am trying to be positive.....DANG! it is not working very well for me. I'm just not good at it. I think it is something in my genetic make-up...to always dwell on the negative......like I was made that way.....Why can nothing ever seem to be right......Why?<br />Maybe i need a pill to help me? Who knows. Not Me!<br />Maybe I'm just feeling sorry for myself!!!!<br />Some would ask why I would feel this way.......I guess you would have to walk in my shoes for awhile to understand. This has been a hard year on our family. Not that it has not been on the others. I guess it is just LIFE!!! Right....your kids can not always be happy and they have to go through things ......it is just part of life. The good and the bad!!!!<br />Our kids grow through experiences.....I know this.....maybe I have always wanted to leave a bubble around my kids... so something could never hurt them...but, that does not work in the real world.<br />Hopefully. it will all work out in the end.Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08280201725864438748noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655747052701945513.post-75002346147500542682008-12-01T20:36:00.000-08:002008-12-03T20:13:56.263-08:00ThanksgvingWell, the kids and I went to Stephenville to spend the holiday with my mom , my sister and family and my brother and his family.....It was really good....We had not been, since June.

I got to hold and LOVE my new newphew(Trenton).....wow, it was just great.<br /><br />So, my mom wanted pics of all the grandkids together....that make 10. They all wore white shirts and jeans....lets just say that I took over 350 pics...yes, that is right.....some were deleted along the way...but, ended up with @ 325.....<br />We thought that they turned out really good.....<br /><br />Hope you think so...Love YaSherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08280201725864438748noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655747052701945513.post-57239766108341606032008-11-06T20:24:00.000-08:002008-11-06T20:32:07.103-08:00All things come to an endWell....tonight was the last football game for the 7th grade. They lost to Childress 12-0...It was really disappointing to the kids(have to say this because they have 2 girls on their team)...But, what a great season 6-3 and 4-2 in district. They really have some talented kids on there team. It will be nice to not have games on Thursday nights...sitting in the cold....but, it will be missed too... It is just one more mildstone that we have gone through........<br />Oh yeah....basketball starts next week....games for Bailey on Tuesdays & Sat or Fridays....and practice for Aaron...that means 2 mornings a week of early practices (6:30 am) YUCK!!!! Yes, I'm the lucky one that has to take him......oh boy.....they JH does not start having games until the 17th....and the first 2 games are out of town....they play on Mondays.....Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08280201725864438748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655747052701945513.post-90979160685555676942008-11-04T14:07:00.000-08:002008-11-04T14:26:24.167-08:00VoteToday is the big day....I went out and voted this morning...Wow , it is so great to live in a country that gives us the freedom to express our opinions. It feels great.....Each one of my kids have asked me today...when I picked them up from school....Mom did you vote? I answered yes....Did Dad vote.....no, not yet but as soon as he gots off work he will.....It is just wonderful to see them so excited about the whole concept of voting for president..... I do not remember that as a kid....I do not remember asking my parents about whether they voted or not and who for.....maybe it is just my age and too much time has passed that I do not remember ....or if it was not talked about and discussed at school in such great detail as it has been this year....We are making history after all...wether it is the first black president or the first female VP(which is what I am hoping for) ......this is a day that will be remembered in history forever.....<br />GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08280201725864438748noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655747052701945513.post-5889110607452553982008-10-30T10:15:00.000-07:002008-10-30T10:24:10.941-07:00Ranch Picnic 10-08Last Sunday, the whole crew of Adams went out to the Mackenzie ranch for a 4-wheeler ride and picnic.

I was born in Florida and lived there until the age of 12.<br /><br />2. My Dad adopted me and my sister....my birth father died when I was 18.....I did not know him and had not seen him since I was 5.<br /><br />3. I am VERY affraid of heights and do not enjoy flying.....but, I will to get to go on a trip.<br /><br />4. I am shy and have a hard time going to events/parties with lots of people.<br /><br />5. I am close to turning the big 40.....yes , it is freaking me out!!<br /><br />6. Dexter went with me to my senior prom.Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08280201725864438748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655747052701945513.post-8549178273532906402008-10-14T06:58:00.000-07:002008-10-14T07:07:33.996-07:00getting betterTook Bailey to the dermatologist yesterday, this is the 4th time that we have been. She got a planters wart on the heel on foot., oh this was in the spring.... If you have never had one, I hear they are very painful. And of course, hers was in a bad spot to begin with. Well, she got the all clear yesterday....We are so glad....we really wanted in cleared up before basketball started. She had to have in froze everytime that we went.....oh she would just cry and say how much it really hurt. So, we were glad that she did not this time and that it is gone.....Yeah.<br />Then we went to see Dr. Freeze and she has a sprained wrist.(it has been bothering here for some time now). She can not work out for 1 week and no lifting for 3 weeks. Hopefully, the coach will not be too upset. With Bailey, it always seems like there is something. You know , she gets over one thing to just have something else.....so is the life with a active teenager.....Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08280201725864438748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655747052701945513.post-77676916412750043792008-10-09T08:24:00.000-07:002008-10-12T11:10:54.679-07:00teenagers<div>Why is it teenagers feel that they can say anything to anybody these days ? It is like that do not have a edit button at all. Are we not teaching are kids morals these days? It really suprises me what they say...even my own kids. They are so rude to each other. They call each other names....stupid, dumb,crack head....whatever. I hate it....The people who love you and will always be there for you.....you put down or act ugly too. Why? </div>
<br /><div>I guess because my kids are getting older they seem to be getting more physical with each other...hitting, slapping, trowing things at each other......it has been this way since the summer.....I was so ready for school to start...just so they would be gone all day and away from each other. Dexter just does not understand why I am so drained by the time he gets home....I am constantly yelling stop....do this...get ready for bed...get in bed...sit down and eat your food....stop talking to your brother like that......all I want is quiet! </div>
<br /><div>I love my kids very much.....but, I wonder what I have taught them....I have always thought of them as good kids....other people praise them on their behavior....why is that they feel they can treat me this way or each other this way! Have I given them too much and not had them earn what it is they desire? Why is they are always asking for something new and better? I did not have much when I was growing up....the name brand stuff...but, I do not remember being unhappy. No, I was not in the popular crowd .... but, I still had friends and I did enjoy high school. Who you are in hs does not mean who you will be in life.....</div>

With Bailey in HS , there is always somewhere to go or to be....she is not driving yet....so that is alot. She is not as busy as last year....no volleyball or cheerleading....believe me there is still alot. Aaron is in 7th grade so he is playing football...they have practice everyday after school until nearly 6pm....and then games on Thursday night. Brenden played soccer right before school started..so, we had games every Monday & Tuesday nights....but, he really loved it....and he had the best coaches .....He is not playing flag football...kinda glad about that....he is taking piano, so that is on Mondays at 4.....and of course, he is suppose to practice 3 to 4 times during the week....sometimes that is hard to do....We are getting really busy now....buying our pigs for stock shows....working on the pins and just getting it all ready....we do have 3 pigs now.....looks like we will have 9 or more before it is all over with.....It is hard trying to keep up with it all....but, they are worth it in the long run....until laterSherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08280201725864438748noreply@blogger.com1
