My two favorite photos of Lexi

The love between a mother and her child

These two love each other so much. It's so amazing to watch my daughter become a mother. It seems like only yesterday that she was this small.

Great vacation

We had a wonderful vacation. Jackie and I took mother and Alyssa and Lexi on a surprise vacation to Judys. The look on mothers face when we got there was priceless. Wow, she is such a wonderful hostess. My grandkids talk about her everyday now. Yes, she spoiled them rotten just like she did me when I was a little girl. They will never forget that trip so that makes it even more special to me..
We had a good time at Jackies too. Cooked out, went swimming, went to church. Jackie is a great navigator. That girl gets you where you want to go.

We also put some new flowers on daddys grave for fathers day. It was pretty sad, but at least I got to spend time with my mother and sister, grandkids and daddy that day. He would like the flowers. Alyssa sure broke down. Those kids loved daddy so much and they talk about him every day. But Alyssa and I were talking last night and we were outside looking at the clouds (we've been doing that alot here lately, making shapes out of clouds) and she said if she was an angel she would just fly over all of us. She said she thinks Papa is up there just having a good time. I asked her how she thinks he would look? She said just the same except with a brand new body that doesn't hurt anymore. The little girl has got it all figured out..
Judy was very impressed with the prayers she says. She always says something special in each prayer she leads..

Still winning races

Well, Lee's still doing great. Took 2 runner up wins in Hobbs and won in Amaillo this past Sunday. Alyssas favorite saying is, "Keep it coming til I pass out", so that's what I keep telling him..

This is the way we do it in West Texas

Well we finally didn't just get close, we actually took the check to the bank. You can see Lee in the finals in Midland if you go to www.youtube.com and in the search bar type in Mr. Lee Polk @ DTR. Way to go Lee...

I bet if we only knew, this is what he would have told us..Click on the picture to read it..

Happy Birthday Daddy

Well, I'm actually a day late. His birthday was the 30th but I really wasn't in the mood to post anything yesterday. He would have been 81. He almost made it. Jackie came out Monday afternoon (James told her to get going between snow storms). We didn't do anything really. I got to visit with her some Monday night and we took mama to the doctor but that was really all we did. I had to keep both of my grandkids Tuesday and it started snowing, so mother and her went to the grocery store and Kmart. I stayed in Tuesday. I kept getting sick at my stomach and had a bad headache. I finally threw up and felt better but still had a headache. Then when I called mothers Wednesday morning around 10am (I actually stayed in bed until about 9:30 because the kids came over and went back to sleep)she had already left and went home. Mother said she got a call that someone has passed away and her church was going to fix a meal so she went home to do that. She is always busy with something. I was already a little blue Wednesday missing my daddy and then I ended up getting mad when Tech fired Mike Leach so my attitude pretty much sucked. No one probably wanted to be around me anyway. I know each day will get better, I just feel real sorry for mama. She seems lost to me. I think she has a friend coming to Texas pretty soon, so I will probably take her to Jackies and let her take her around to visit some. Maybe that will perk her up a little. Well, anyway Happy Birthday daddy. I'm sure he had a better day than I did.
