This is Our sweet Dog Apollo

Hello All, I wanted to take this time to introduce ya'll to my Family's Sweet Great Pyreneese Dog named "Apollo" , Seen in the photo above with My Dad , Apollo's Buddy other buddy other than "Daphne " , "Badger" , "Maggie" and all the other animals he's lived around since becoming Our Pet. He's the most Loveable " Big Teddy Bear " you'll ever see. He can be all up in your face begging for food or Loving or he can take down anything that tries to fight him. He 's been in 2 Fights that we know of. The 1st one. He was gone " Visiting" we'll say. And he was gone maybe not a full week. But he came back Covered in his Oponet's Blood! No cuts or anything on Apollo on that one. But , what ever he caught he fought it until it was DEAD! the 2nd time was just before Halloween of this yr. He was gone "visiting" again for 3 whole weeks this time. He came back , You guys , He looked like he'd not eatten or had anything to drink in a week or 2. And , also he got into a fight with what the Vet said might have been a Raccoon .... Well, The Raccoon took 2 big bites or scratches on either side of his nose. His left side had even punctured some of Apollo's Sinuses. But, He stayed over night and had repair surgery. And had 3 whole weeks in our Utility Room. To make sure he didn't scratch and rip out his sutures. And then 2 or 3 weeks ago he had more surgery so he CAN'T Impregnant every Female Dog in our area. But, now he's in a Huge Kennel out side my bedroom window. with "Badger" sleeping on the out side of the Kennel right by the door so he can keep his Uncle Company. Anyway. I just wanted to show you what My Pretty Boy looks like. I sure do love my Sweet Apollo

EXCITING NEWS

Hey Everyone!
Man , Have I got some EXCITING NEWS to tell all of ya'll! And NO, Before I get any IM's , E -mails , or anything like that. Let me just clarify by saying this right now. That I've DEFINETLY NOT . . . . . A.) found a Boyfriend! , B.) I'm Not Getting Married. , C.) Nor am I expecting a HUMAN baby anytime soon !!!!
Here's the EXCITING PART BELOW!

Although , I just found out about 10 minutes ago that I am a "NEW Mom # 2 " to a Beautiful Tannish looking Baby Boy Calf with a little White face. He's is so adorable!!! He's just about 1 - 2 days old now. He's still got the cord hanging from his Belly Button but it's drying up already!!! And "Mama Cow" is letting him nurse good. I'll let her do that since I don't have the "Right Number of Equipment" for me to do it myself if ya'll know what I mean! If something ever happens to Mama Cow except a Huge Bottle of course. . When Dad found him just a while ago he was in another part of the pasture and the Mama Cow and others were in the other part so Dad came in and got one of the HUGE Animal feeding Bottles and he fed him I'm guessing water from that. And then he picked him up and put him in his Truck and took him over to a large bunch of our other Cattle. To try to find Mama to feed him. Well , even after Dad fed him the WHOLE BIG BOTTLE of Whatever it was. The Baby still was able to nurse on Mama Cow after finding her. So , I'm so excited that I can't stand it! I'll try to post a photo later. Love Ya'll Lots! Have a great Day. Love Always , Randee

Please pray for Mr. Kenneth Ballard

Hello Everyone ,
I'm coming here to ask all of my Family and Friends to please keep my Cousin , Chelsea (McCaghren) Ballard 's Husband , Kenneth in your thoughts and prayers. He was here in TX either bringing some horses to a Horse holding place here in TX. Or he was taking some home to Arkansas alone yesterday afternoon and started feeling sick while on the road. Well , He pulls over on the side of the road. And he calls 911 and the Dispature sent out a man who checked Kenneth's Blood Presure and sees it's too high. The Wonderful man decides to call for an Ambulance for Mr. Kenneth since Mr. Kenneth was complaining that his left Shoulder hurt and he felt sick . So , Then Mr. Kenneth calls Chelsea back in AR. To let us know. And she calls my Dad here at home . He eats real quick. And , I'm talking only 4 - 5 bites of Salad . Then , Thankfully My Brother , Josh walks in just in time to stay with me so Mom and Dad can head out the door. They get there and see him The Dr.'s in Greenville gave him so much meds that we couldn't believe it. By this point Mr. Kenneth's panicing to where both Mom and Dad thought that Mr. Kenneth wouldn't recognize either one of them. I mean it's been 2 years since we've seen either one Mr. Kenneth or Chelsea. But , I'm so thankful that Mr. Kenneth did recognize Mom and Dad off the bat. The Dr. 's do a few tests to see what they could find. Then , My Mom leaves to come back home for the night. They finally decide that my Dad , Mr. Kenneth and all needed to be transported by Care Flight to Dallas's Baylor Medical Center. As they get off of the Helicopter , The Dr. 's & Nurses are waiting at the door on their arrival to do a "Heart Cath" immediently on Mr. Kenneth! Then after that Mr. Kenneth was sent up to a room to rest for the night where the Nurses could watch him over night. Dad stayed there all night with Mr. Kenneth so if he needed something right away , Dad could go get a Nurse or Dr. if need be. This morning around 2:45 a.m. - 3:01 a.m. Chelsea, Kenneth's Wife , and a Co - Worker / Friend walk in . Well , this morning when Mom and I got up. Mom and I hussel around the House to get ready to go visit a bit and Pick Dad up. And , Like Emeril Lagossi , "BAM!" We are on the road to to the Hospital and also to pick Dad up since Mom had the Van to get back home in . And , As of this afternoon. The Dr. came in and told Mr. Kenneth that their was nothing wrong with his heart , Blood Pressure came back down after this morning 's ordeal. And was sent home. And , YES! As in all the way back to Arkansas with his Wife , Co - Worker /Friend . He was ordered to see his Dr. sometime this week to take pills as needed.

Hey Ya'll,
I just wanted to let ya'll know that my family and I are back from Oklahoma. We got back home Sunday evening in time for it to start storming. But , we all had a good time while we were their. Like I posted in the one before this one. My Cousin , Hannah Pike Graduated 1 week ago today. We are all so very proud of her and all she does. She's such a good kid. Now, I'm not saying that Jessica and Aidan arn't good kids too. Because they are very good kids. I just love all of them to pieces. And , I miss them already. Once again , Hannah , I'm so proud of you sweetheart. You sure looked so Beautiful the night of your Graduation in what I liked to call it your "Taylor Swift Sun Dress!"

We are in Tulsa , OK until Sunday or so

I'm 24

Hey Ya'll,
It's me, "The Birthday Girl" here. Ok, Yes Ladies and Gentleman. I'm here to report that I'm finally able to tell people that yesterday Friday, May 15 , 2009. I, Randee Danielle McCaghren. Has turned 24 years old now! I'm so incredably EXCITED to finally be able to tell all of "My Homies" that I'm now offically 24 yrs. old! I've offically entered "ADULTHOOD!" I know other people say that when you turn 18 years old. Your their! No , not this chick. I wanted to stay "A Kid" Just a little bit longer! So, yesterday afternoon , My Parents & I went and got my hair done. Now, People, When I say "Get my hair done" I mean Cut and Colored all in the same day. I NO LONGER have "LONG Brunette / Red hair". It's Cut SHORT just like TLC's Kate Gosslin , The Mom of Twin Girls Cara and Madelyn, and 6 Little ones Collin , Aidan , Joel , Alexis , Hannah , Leah . And we can't forget her Husband, Jon. "Jon & Kate + 8" Red hair with Alburn High Lights in it. "We" , Meaning the lady who did the cutting copied off the recent People Magazine with Kate on the cover. But, I like it so far. I still think some needs to come off around the ears. Because Kate always has the right side in her right eye almost. And , the left side is short. But, I'm kinda glad that we stopped when she did. Because, I was litterally getting cross eyed and hungry too. From sitting there during the Hair cut and the Coloring processes. Next time I'm taking a book and a snack or something. Because , I know from this LONG experience that I'm gonna NEED it. Oh , My Mom got a Hair do of her own too. then , we met Joshua at "Los Mochis" here in Commerce , TX. Then we got to go see all but the last I'm guessing 15 minutes of Matthew McConughey & Jennifer Garner , Micheal Douglas 's latetest movie "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" Which was for the most part CUTE! I mean Come On Ladies . . . And , NO Ladies Matthew doesn't get Shirtless in this movie... It's Matthew McConughey!!! So, It was a good movie we are home now. And , I'm heading to bed now. I hope everyone has a good week. And I probably won't do another post until Monday or so. I love you all. Thank You to some of you for My Birthday Wishes! I appreciate them all. Love Ya Always , Randee

R . I . P Kayleigh Ann Freedman June 23, 2008 - May 11 , 2009

Hello Everyone ,
OK , for those who haven't heard the sad news yet . . . Ladies you MIGHT wanna grab some Kleenexes before reading any farther. The news is that 11 month old Little Kayleigh Ann Freedman , Better known to the blogging world as "Baby Kayleigh" died lastnight in her Hospital Bed in the NICU at 9:44 P. M . I'm guessing that she died in her sleep . She left behind her Daddy & Mommy to take care of her older sister & older brother . Even though she is gone from this life . Little Kayleigh still lives on in her Mommy 's & Daddy 's and her older Sister 's & her older Brother's Hearts. And also in all of the hearts of the strangers around the world who loved to go to her parents Blogs to get to know and read about her life with family . I can tell you right now that my heart is still breaking for her family. To The Freedman Family , Like I said above , My heart goes out to you guys and gals ! Just know that Kayleigh is in a better place now . She's in NO Pain what - so - ever ! She's a Happy Camper ! NOT saying that she wasn't Happy down here on Earth. I 'm saying that she is Happy to be with Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ . And , You'll be with her again soon. And , I hope that I'm not gonna step on anyones toes here. But , to the Kids . I have a solution for you 2 if you get sad and you miss her at night and all . Maybe if it's alright with your Mom & Dad maybe if some of her stuff isn't already packed and ready for the move . Maybe you each can pick something out like a blanket Kayleigh got to use to keep as a keep sake . And also , I've found that in the room where one of my loved ones who has now died slept . I always sleep on that person's (Both Grandpa's) side of their beds when I'm over . Maybe , if it's ok with your parents ask them if maybe this Friday or this Saturday night one or both or all of ya could make palots in the floor in Kayleigh 's room since none of you can lay in Kayleigh's Baby Bed . Or make a family inside camp in her room on a weekend . And this can go on for in the new house too . Have your parents put out Kayleigh's things as if she were coming home. And camp out in the floor on the weekend. Love & Hugs Always , Randee
