Happy Birthday Daniel!!!!

We arose very early Saturday morning to excitement and anticipation....it was "Big D's birthday" (as Sinclair lovingly refers to her brother, Daniel). She started a little earlier than everyone else with a celebratory chocolate donut! We told her we were headed out to Uncle Meredith's ranch and she immediately ran around in circles and started clapping. Unfortunately, Uncle Meredith were with (his parents) Aunt Mary and Uncle Roy in route to Chicago with art curators from the Czech Republic and the MFA.

Daniel and Veronica had the whole thing planned and they had started the day before with an elaborate meal prepared by Chef Ron.

It took Sinclair the length of the car walk to the pool (100 yards) to shed her clothes and grab Veronica by the hand to "Go Pool"
Sinclair wanted to "Play Pool" and was pretty perturbed when Daddy was on the phone talking "oil bizness"
After a fun swim, lots of Chef Ron's BBQ and Chicken n' Dumplin's and a nice long nap she went to go visit her friend "Woofie" and "love, Woofie with kisses" -- we explain he is a pig but she insists on calling him "Woofie" anyway.
Ralph Lauren are you out there?

I did not know which one I loved best so I included most of my favorites
After a solid half hour of loving this cement sculpture, Daniel came and shared some birthday sugar of his own

Our friend Nae came in from Dallas and was eager to share her french fries so Sinclair shared her favorite Dora songs and even showed this die hard T-sip how to jam to the Aggie War Hymn!!!

We all sat stunned in the driveway looking at this little person that is not even two and she seems so mature! I personally cannot always master the iPod and she blows through it with a breeze. Organizing 600 songs on your ipod and 132 videos of "Dora the Explorer" and "Clifford, the Big Red Dog" is like blowing past Vince Young in the Wonderlic test and taking the Mensa test blindfolded.
I am telling you this kid could have orchestrated the Yahoo (MS) deal and there would not be any pissed off shareholders!

Heaven on Earth!!!

This week we got away for a fast 48 hours to an incredible private resort called Cap Cana located in the Dominican Republic. We were the guests of our friends Greg and Liz and they included a few more friends. This is the view at Caleton Beach we woke up to the past two days.




I cannot even begin to describe the depth of the beauty of this place. Cap Cana is secluded on 38,000 private acres along the Caribbean. This resort is less than five years old and is still what most would consider undiscovered by mainstream tourism. Naturally, all this will change within the next year since the PGA is holding tournaments there and major developers such as the Ritz Carlton and Donald Trump are building as well.

Our wonderful sweet hosts, Greg and Liz



We were all dragging our feet none of us wanted to leave....the 48 hours came to a close way too fast!



Once we were airborne the boys told stories, talked about $126 oil and the girls could not wait to get home to all the kiddos! It was business as usual...

Until next time.....

She Loves the Pool.....Today





Sinclair has been "iffy" lately where the pool is concerned. She LOVED swimming up until the last month and announced one day "No More Pool" and she did not want to swim at all - this especially included swimming lessons. Daddy and I pondered this for a while and decided we would not push her and she would build an affection for the pool at her own pace.
Well, low and behold this afternoon we were outside playing, twirling and watching "da planes" in the sky and then she said "Pool" I almost could not keep up with her as she raced towards the steps shedding her clothes. She got in with her diaper and went to bolt out and realized she was packing a few extra pounds -- her eyes got big and she looked behind her and said "Heavy panty" -- after she peeled it off she was good to go another hour splashing and laughing.

Happy Birthday KBP!!!



Today was our girlfriend Katherine's birthday!! We all gathered together to raise a glass to this Southern Belle. She is an amazing Mommy, friend and wife. We are proud to call this Mississippi transplant part of the inner circle! We loves Phelpsy!

Roger Clemens Mistress 3.0

Your daily dose of the game that’s sweeping the nation: “Who Roger Clemens may have bedded in his prime. Roger Clemens is keeping his hit streak alive with a 4th straight day of new affairs presenting themselves. You just cannot make this stuff up.


Just so I am really clear on this I need to see it in print to get it straight. Roger Clemens did not take steroids and sued former trainer Brian McNamee to get his reputation back, then went in front of Congress (which did not help his case to look innocent).




Now he met a 15-year-old and the relationship did not turn sexual until she was of age and he mixed it up with other women from California, Boston and Manhattan.



Supposedly he flew them around and paid for expensive jewelry and according to his former flame Mindy McCready's mother Gayle Inge, “I know Roger was infatuated with Mindy.” This revelation is not good news for Roger and his camp, certainly now that he has a defamation suit out there because his reputation was tarnished.


We all know this has nothing to do with steroids, but it does have something to do with his character. He’s running around in front of congress saying he’s a family man and he would never do anything to break that up. What an arrogant pig.


While you may love your wife and kids, Roger you can’t file a lawsuit knowing that others are going to dig up dirt on you, and then act like people are lying. This is definitely messing with your karma and the effects of all your deeds are coming back to get you. If you would have just kept your mouth shut this would not be happening. Just think how things would have turned out differently if you had followed the lead of your "best friend" Andy Petitte and said "I took the shot and I am sorry"



But now Roger has to field questions about the other woman he was “infatuated” with and how he flew them around on his private plane. Roger is of course not saying a thing about all this, which is funny because he did all the talking against Brian McNamee. Interesting change of events being that Roger has been so vocal in the past.



My question how much heartbreak can sweet Debbie Clemens take? I feel so much hurt for this woman and her children. She was prepared to take the heat for Roger by saying she was injected with HGH and not her husband, actually Roger threw HER under the bus....but can she take the heat for this one. The Clemens’ are in a mess that even David Copperfield could not escape from.



So where does this new information about Roger’s romances go? Well from a law stand point no judge would allow this to be part of his defamation case but it could influence the perception of his innocents. While it is not fair for all this to come out now, Roger had to know what he was getting himself into.


Now we get to mid week of allegations and the "Rocket's" latest "close ties" is to PGA golfer ("drain a keg in his sleep") John Daly's ex wife, Paulette Dean Daly. She has gone on record saying “Yeah, I’ve known Roger quite a while and we are friends. You know what, I’m really uncomfortable talking about this. I’m just going to have to say, ‘No comment.’ “I know Roger. I consider him a good friend. That’s all I’m comfortable saying.” Please note that none of these women have denied, by the way. I think it is hilarious that the one person that is doing all the "refuting" is Rusty ($1000 an hour) Hardin and he obviously was not present, unless a threesome is about to be revealed.


The funny thing is maybe Barry Bonds is probably responsible for Roger’s indiscretions hitting the tabloids. This would certainly keep the heat off himself for a while, at least until his case goes to court.

Roger Clemens won SEVEN Cy Young awards, he was a national treasure and a role model and his big fat ego deterred him from being honorable. Pete Rose has to be feeling like Mother Theresa about right now. The folks in Cooperstown should just merge the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame with the Baseball Hall of Fame....since they both consist of drug using rebels that screw star chasers.



Roger and his beautiful wife Debbie pose for a Sports Illustrated article. This woman is in her mid 40's and has four boys!



Country singer Mindy McCready, whom he met when she was 15!!! Carried on an alleged affair for 14 years.




Angela Moyer, Mistress #2. It is bad enough when you cheat on your wife and children have a mistress of 14 years....but when you cheat on your mistress with ANOTHER mistress you are REALLY a loser.



Everyone knows the only thing Daly can truly focus on is the bar in the 19th hole. ESPN commentator Skip Bayless said it best when asked how these "multiple affairs" will affect Roger's reputation he replied, "Well, I do not really know about his career but his pride has to be seriously wounded if he is playing backup in the bedroom to John Daly!"

Is Cher next???

Happy Birthday Big Daddy!


Yesterday my precious husband also known around "Casa Chaos" as "Daddy" celebrated his birthday ....17,899 days old.....588 months lived....439,586 hours....25,775,188 minutes



After doing the math we realized Daddy has slept 143,195 hours which comes to 5,966 days (these are including Sundays watching the Golf Channel too)

Hailey found out her Daddy also shares his birthday with Jay Leno and Willie Nelson.

Happy Birthday!!! We love you!



We made Daddy cheesecake and Sinclair covered it in all her favorite sprinkles. These perfectly accented the chicken fried steak, cream gravy, mashed potatoes and garlic biscuits!


By the time we lit the cake Uncle Jack was mentioning we needed Red Adair to put the flames out~

"Real oilmen wear pink"













Sinclair the aspiring photographer snapped these.....obviously she needs a little fine tuning in her aim
