February 2nd

Sunday, February 2nd was a BIG day in our house!  Not only was it Groundhog's Day and Superbowl Sunday, but it was also Wally's birthday!

We started off our day by checking in on the groundhog!  Unfortunately, we didn't hear very good news!

Then we gave Daddy our cards!











Next up was church and breakfast at Cracker Barrel!



Then we took our first family outing to the local golf dome. Wally & Luke have gone many times, but this was a first for Paige and I!

Paige started off by doing what she does best - snacking!



We watched Luke and Wally do their thing!





Then it was Paigey's turn to try!

Some afternoon cuddles after naptime!



Then it was time to change into our team colors - go Seahawks!



Pizza was on the menu that night and then some chocolate pie with a birthday song!



The kids played in the basement through most of the game, but Paige did come up dressed as Sophia and took some selfies - ha!



They did come up for the halftime show though!  Luke was busting a move!  We are big Bruno Mars fans!

I would say it was a pretty good day!

Golf Banquet 2013

This week we celebrated the end of golf season with Wally at the golf team's banquet. 

This is the first time both kids have gone to a banquet and they were so well-behaved!  I had several parents come up to me at the end and comment on how good the kids were.  There is nothing better than hearing that from other parents!

There is also nothing better than hearing how appreciative the parents are of Wally and the time he has spent with their kids this season.

Paige was taking pictures too!


Here is some of her photography :)

Another season in the books!

Why Hello!

We have been back from vacation now for about 10 days (it was a great vacation by the way!) and I have gone through some of the pictures, but we have a new laptop coming our way next week so I figured it would be easier to actually sort through all of the pictures on the clear screen of the new computer rather than the blurry screen our old one has been sporting for awhile!

So in the meantime, here are some pictures of the kids enjoying the gorgeous weather last night!






An attempt at kite flying was unsuccessful - we needed more wind buddy!


 Paige doesn't quite have the golf swing down yet, but she certainly looks the part, doesn't she?!?!


 Now, this guy? This guy has the swing down. It really is amazing how well he hits it when he really focuses.

We found out about some golf lessons offered to young kids and when I asked Luke if he wanted to go, he was super excited about it! The lessons start in September - I can't wait to see how he does!
 
Then look who I found at my house this morning!

The cutest pirate you ever did see :) Luke has all of the sudden been into picking out his own clothes for the day. He usually does a good job and always makes sure he matches!

And a little video for you!

It's hard to believe summer is over - well at least for Wally it is. He was back to school on Monday with students starting today. Luke doesn't start until after Labor Day so he still has some summer left (although today certainly feels like a fall day!). Wally's golf season kicks off today and the kids' activities are starting up again with gymnastics for both kids beginning next week (so excited for Paige to start!) and then golf in September as I mentioned above. On one hand it is nice to get back into the swing of routines, but on the other hand, where the heck did the summer go?!?!

Oh and my sister's wedding is coming up very soon - August 25th - so we have been preparing for that :) The million dollar question is "will the kids walk down the aisle?". Luke - yes! Paige - no way! Fiona - leaning towards yes, but on the fence!

Vacation posts,wedding posts and a summer recap to come!

My Little Golfer

So most everyone knows that Wally LOVES golf! And I have posted on here before that Luke has been golfing with his Daddy before and seems to enjoy it as well!

On Wednesday evening Luke went to the range with Wally and when they got back, Wally was literally raving about how 'good' Luke is. He even went as far as saying that "grown men were coming out of the clubhouse to watch Luke". I know Wally's stories are always a bit exaggerated so I needed to see for myself...on a cool Friday evening we headed to the range.

Luke was showing me where we had to go!


Getting set up...


and here we go...




What a cute little golfer!


Don't forget to clean your clubs when you are done! It is so funny because Luke does everything Wally does. He cleans his clubs, he uses the brush, and then he towels them off!




My favorite picture of the day :)


After practicing driving, it was time to practice putting for a bit!






So I will say that Wally was definitely exaggerating a bit [although Wally will tell you that Luke just had an off day :) ]. While Luke gets what he needs to do, he is by no means showing signs of being a #1 golfer on the PGA Tour at the age of 2 1/2; however, time will tell :) He really does enjoy it though and poor Wally can rarely spend some time alone on the golf course because Luke ALWAYS wants to go with him.

I took some video too!

Good Luck Daddy!

Wally leaves tomorrow morning for Edwardsville, IL. One of the boys on the golf team made it to sectionals which are held ALL THE WAY down there (a 4-hour drive - crazy!). He plays on Monday...here is Luke saying "GOOD LUCK!"
