To Follow or Not

Why is it that when I'm taking a shower or relaxing in the tub, I think of all the great things I want to post on here? but then when I sit and actually think about putting "ink to paper" it seems so dim compared to what I have read from my friends.....

I've been considering the family history as my friends have done and then think....what a task!! Is there really enough room on this computer for it all? Do I even remember back to the beginning, if I do...do I really want to? There is a lot back there maybe left forgotten?! Then again, it is what got me where I am today.

Sandi, I have not forgotten about my quirks.....I just have more than 6 and my list seems to lengthen with each passing day.

I think all this ~not working~ has brought out the nostalgia in me. Not to mention, facebooking. How great has it been to see all these people again and to reconnect with many of them.

So, the question I am trying to answer to myself is "to follow or not"....do I put the Team Randall history out there for all to see and read or do the old fashioned way with real ink and paper???

UGH...getting frustrated

Why can't I figure out how to change the colors on this dang thing???? I've figured out how to add pictures and am working on a slide show (thanks to Mykah) and a playlist, but cannot for the life of me get the colors to change.

Mykah, the background is great...thank you.

Tonight was game night at my house. The additional 3 are our extended family here in Vegas; Mark, Charla and Jacob. Around here they are known as Charla Mom, Mark Dad and just Jacob. We always laugh that people who don't know us probable do think we are some kind of polygamist family.

The other 4 as you may have figured out are my special rugrats. Dalton the contemplative one, Kiara showing off her cards, Carter with tokens for eyes and Payton being typical goofy Payton.

I forgot to mention the missing member of the fam....poor Jeff. He usually misses game night. His job keeps him out of town for most of the week and if we are lucky he is home by Thursday afternoon. Because he (of course) has a soccer game on Thursday nights....big surprise...I know.

Team Randall was created in 1991 with only two players. Three years later we added Dalton and then every two another was added, Kiara in 1996, Carter in 1998 and last but definately not least Payton in 2000.
At this time we have a total of 8 teams going at the same time. This equates to 8 games and 13 practices a week.
Dalton plays on 2 teams, Silverado High School JV and for Neusport, which is club ball. He loves to score so mostly plays as a right or mid forward.
Kiara plays for HUYS a recreational team. She is a solid goalie and enjoys playing center mid and defense.
Carter plays for 2 teams also, HEAT U11 gold and in the Mexican league with his HEAT team. He is in the process of trying out for ODP (olympic development program). He too likes to score and plays mostly right forward and sometimes center mid.
Payton also plays for the HEAT club as U9. I guess my boys are all eager to score, as he too plays forward. Although he will occasionally go back and play defense.
Jeff and I play on a co-ed team together and have really enjoyed it for the last 2 years...and running. Jeff also plays on a mens team with his brother.

This is completely addicting. If I don't get busy looking for and finding a job I am going to be in a lot of trouble with Jeff.

All this has done is make me miss you all even more. I told Jeff today I need to make a trip North for a visit. All he tells me to do is get out there and see what it is like outside the house and socialize a bit and I wont feel so home sick.

HERE I AM

ok...I finally think I did it.
