MARCH MADNESS - SPRING BREAK 2009

MARCH HAS GONE BY REALLY FAST!
CHRISPY AND I HAVE HAD AN AWESOME TIME TOGETHER. I DON'T HAVE ANY PICTURES OF OUR SHREVEPORT TRIP, BUT WE STAYED IN A GREAT HOTEL WITH AN INDOOR POOL. CALEB LOVES TO SWIM.
WE WENT TO ABILENE FOR A FEW DAYS TO SEE THE PRUITT'S. CALEB & COOPIE ARE AT THE RIGHT AGE TO LEARN TO PLAY TOGETHER. THEY ARE SUPER CUTE TOGETHER.

AUNT CINDY TOOK US TO A PARK WHERE THERE WERE SOME CRAZY DUCK AND GEESE! THE WERE HUNGRY!

CALEB IS USED TO HAVING ANIMALS TAKE FOOD OUT OF HIS HANDS SO THE DUCKS DIDN'T SCARE HIM AT ALL!

CALEB WAS FEARLESS... UNTIL A GOOSE ATTACKED HIM! HE WAS SCREAMING, I WAS KICKING, CINDY WAS SWATING. IT WAS CRAZY.

WE WENT TO THE PLAYGROUND AFTER THAT.

I DO BELIEVE THE PRUITT KID'S ARE SOME OF THE CUTEST EVER! I AM A LITTLE BIAST.

CALEB LOVES THEM SO MUCH! I CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE THE SPEND SOME TIME TOGETHER THIS SUMMER. I WONDER WHAT WE'LL DO.

THERE WAS A LOT OF GIGGLING AND SMILES DURING OUR VISIT.

CALEB GOT A LOT OF DADDY TIME DURING OUR BREAK.

THE BOYS PLAYED IN THE TUNNELS WITH THEIR CARS.

WE HAD AN AWESOME SUPRISE IN ABELINE. LEAHANNA & TQUAN AND FLIA WERE THERE. TQUAN PERFORMED FOR RICKY'S YOUTH GROUP AND LEAHANNA CAME JUST TO VISIT US.

WE TOOK THE BOYS TO THE MALL WHERE THEY PLAYED ON AN INDOOR PLAYGROUND FOR ABOUT AND HOUR. COOPER LOVED THIS SOCCER BALL.

CALEB WOULD SIT IN THE TUNNEL WITH HIS NEW BOOK.

HERE ARE THE GIRLS GETTING READY TO GO TO SCHOOL. DADDY IS THE DRIVER ON HIS WAY TO WORK.

THIS IS THE GIRLS EARLY IN THE MORNING READY TO GO TO SCHOOL. THEY HAVE AN AWESOME ROOM.

THEY BOYS GOT A BATH BEFORE BED TIME. COOPIE IS A SPLASHER! THE BOYS LOVE TO PLAY TOGETHER.

THEY LOVE EACH OTHER!

THE DADDY'S AND THE BOYS.

WE WENT TO THE GRACE MUSEUM WHERE THEY HAVE A LOT OF NEAT THINGS TO DO AND SEE. EVERYONE HAD FUN.

WE HAD A BASKETBALL AND VOLLEYBALL CELEBRATION AT ONE OF THE GIRLS HOUSE! THESE GIRLS WERE UN DEFEATED IN THEIR SPORTS!

WE PLAYED A GAME WERE WE HAD TO ID EVERYONE'S BABY PICTURE.

THEY GUESSED MINE BECAUSE IT WAS YELLOWING! THESE WERE FUN GIRLS TO COACH FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS.

THIS IS CALEB ON THE WAY BACK FROM ABILENE. HE WAS WORN OUT!

I READ THE BOYS A GOOD NIGHT STORY. GOOD NIGHT MOON.

THE LONGVIEW CARNIVAL. LAST WEEK THE CARNIVAL WAS IN TOWN AND MOM, DAD, AMY AND WE ALL DECIDED TO GO.

CHRIS WENT DOWN THE BIG SLIDE FIRST AND THEN I DID. IT WAS AWESOME, BUT CALEB LOOKS A LITTLE WORRIED!

I THINK THIS IS MY FAVORITE RIDE FOR CALEB. UP DOWN & ROUND N ROUND. VERY SIMPLE.

HE GOT TO RIDE IT TWICE. MIMI TOOK HIM ON IT FIRST. HE WOULD SMILE AND LAUGH EVERY LAP.

THIS IS CALEB'S FAVORITE RIDE. HE GOT TO DRIVE IN CIRCLES FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES. HE THOUGHT HE WAS BIG STUFF!

MIMI TOOK HIM TO RIDE ON THE DRAGON!

A NEW ADDITION TO THE PEURIFOY HOUSE!

WE PURCHASED A $599 SWING SET THAT WAS ON SALE FOR $250 WITH A $200 GIFT CERTIFICATE & 20% OFF. SO IT COST $17.

WELL, WE FINALLY HAD THE SWING SET PUT UP NOW IN MARCH, WHEN WE BOUGHT IT IN JULY LAST YEAR!

CALEB LOVES HIS SWING SET. WE'VE BEEN OUTSIDE EVERYDAY!

GRANDMOMMY WANTED TO PLAY ON IT TOO!

KATY LOVED THE NEW ADDITION TO THE BACK YARD.

THE GIRLS WERE ASLEEP AND CALEB WANTED TO JOIN THEM. HE'S THEIR BROTHER YOU KNOW.

THANKS FOR READING MY LONG POST. I'VE HAD A GREAT MONTH!

A NEW CHAPTER IN COACH PEURIFOY'S LIFE

WELL, I'M NOT SURE WHERE TO START... I HAVE BEEN RE-ASSIGNED. SO I'VE DECIDED NOT TO COACH ANY MORE.

I'VE BEEN PLAYING VOLLEYBALL SINCE I WAS 14, I'M NOW 38. THAT'S A HUGE CHUNCK OF MY LIFE! HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SPORT IN MY MEMORY. PRACTICES AT CLUB NAUTICO, V-BALL IN COLLEGE NCJC & HARDING, BEACH V-BALL ON SOUTH PADRE IS. WITH RICKY, V-BALL CAMPS IN TN, AL, FL & TX., ADULT VOLLEYBALL LEAGUE WHERE I PLAYED FOR FLORA-BAMA. AND OF COURSE MY TEAMS.

I'VE HAD SO MANY GIRLS WHO HAVE TOUCHED MY LIFE, THIS YEAR ESPECIALLY. I'VE COACHED TEAMS AT MCS, CLUB V-BALL, HALLSVILLE & SPRING HILL AND I'VE LOVED WORRYING ABOUT IT, PLANNING FOR IT AND COACHING. THIS YEAR WE WENT TO THE SECOND ROUND OF THE STATE PLAY-OFFS AND I WAS SO HAPPY FOR THE GIRLS. WE MADE THIS YEAR AWESOME!

NOW I'VE ONLY BEEN INVOLVED IN B-BALL SINCE AROUND 91. CHARLIE TAUGHT ME HOW TO COACH THE GAME, BECAUSE I'M A SPAZ WHEN IT COMES TO B-BALL. MY JUNIOR HIGH TEAM HAS BEEN 14 - 1 & 13 - 1 OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. IT DIDN'T HURT THAT THE GIRLS THAT I'VE BEEN COACHING ARE SUPER TALENTED.

THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR TOLD ME THAT MY PERSONALITY BEST FITS THE JUNIOR HIGH PROGRAM AND THAT NEXT YEAR HE WOULD MOVE ME THERE FOR ALL SPORTS. I WAS SO HURT. I WANTED REASONS, I WANTED TO KNOW WHERE I FAILED, WHAT I DID WRONG. AFTER A WHOLE MONTH & 1/2 OF BEING SAD & DEPRESSED I'VE FINALLY LET IT SINK IN THAT I'M GOING TO BE OK. GOD IS TAKING CARE OF ME. I DON'T REALLY WANT ANSWERS ANYMORE I JUST WANT OUT.

I HAD TO DO SEVERAL ROUNDS OF BEGGING, PRAYING AND TRUSTING OVER MY SPANISH TEACHING JOB AND AS OF LAST THURSDAY I GOT TO SIGN A CONTRACT FOR JUST MY TEACHING JOB. SPRING HILL IS A GOOD SCHOOL, EVEN IF MY AD IS A RETARD.

ANNI GONZALEZ IN ALL HER WISDOM SAID: "BECKY I'VE KNOWN YOU FOR A LOOOONG TIME AND YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER GOTTEN OUT OF VOLLEYBALL UNTIL THEY THREW YOU OUT." AND THAT IS SO TRUE! "TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO STAY AT HOME AND ENJOY CALEB".

SO SINCE I HAVEN'T BEEN COACHING TRACK I GO HOME TO CALEB EVERYDAY AND SHE'S RIGHT IT'S AWESOME! I LOVE MY TIME AT HOME WITH CALEB.

SO HERE'S THE PLAN: I'M GOING TO GAIN BACK 3 WEEKS IN JUNE/JULY & EVERY MONDAY IN JUNE, PLUS THE WHOLE MONTH OF AUGUST SINCE I'M NOT DOING V-BALL AND I'M GOING TO HAVE SOME FUN WITH MY FAMILY. NEXT FALL I'LL TEACH SPANISH AND COME HOME EVERYDAY AT 3:30. WOW! THAT'S COOL. I'LL GET TO SEE HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST I'M GOING TO CONTINUE TO THANK GOD FOR BEING SO GOOD AND PROVIDING CHRISPY AND I WITH A JOB AT THE SAME SCHOOL.

I TELL MY KIDS AT SCHOOL THAT I JUST WANTED TO TAKE SOME TIME OFF AND SPEND SOME TIME WITH CALEB. I'LL GET BACK IN TO COACHING ONE DAY, BUT I'LL HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN.

I DO WANT TO ASK YOU GUYS TO PRAY FOR ME. BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I'M ACTING LIKE EVERY THING IS FINE BECAUSE I HAVE MY SPANISH JOB, IT STILL MAKES ME SAD THAT I'LL BE OUT OF COACHING.

WE'LL CALEB IS ABOUT TO WAKE UP SO GOT TO GO!

SENORA PEURIFOY

GO PANTHERS! DADDY STARTED COACHING TENNIS TOURNAMENTS. CALEB LIKED RUNNING AROUND WITH HIM.

HE TRIED TO TAKE SOMEONE'S RACKET SO HE COULD GO PLAY.

WE SAVED UP AND GOT CALEB A CUTE LITTLE CHAIR. HE LOVES TO SIT IN IT WITH HIS FRIENDS AND WATCH ELMO!

I THINK THEY KIND OF LOOK A LIKE!
