Golf camp...

My little golfer... getting some practice in before the tournament...
riding the golf cart...
according to Benjamin, "this was the best part!"
you can hardly tell by the big smile on his face!
now, I offered to be his caddy, but he said no...

until the 2nd hole and he was "too tired" of carrying it! stoppin to take a pose...

concentrating very hard! takin a break...

"this is what they do on TV, mom"

um, ok
puttin one in...

ok, so he's not Tiger Woods just yet,

but I thought he did pretty well for his first time

...right in the middle...

(the "18" was the directors son, go figure)

After playing a 4 hole tournament, he was pooped and it was only

9:00 in the morning still, so we ran for the donuts!

But, he got his ribbon and that's all that matters, right;)

Good job, buddy!

This is why we love our daddy...

I was going through some old pictures and

the boys were watching over my shoulder

and commenting on alot of them,

so I thought I would post some!

Of course, Ella wasn't commenting,

she was already asleep for the night,

but the boys had enough comments for her!

**********************************************

"He puts bubbles on Ella's head and thinks it's funny" (L)

"He helps me with Tball even when I'm not paying attention" (L)"He helps coach my baseball team" (B)
"He takes us to airplane shows"(B)
"He pushes me in the stroller so I can relax"(L)

"He rides in the big ol elephant with me,
even though he barely fits" (L)
"He took us on the airplane,
and I LOVED going on that airplane!" (B)

"He let Ella go swimming by herself in the pool"(L)

(um, no he didn't , but he sure did enjoy watching her!)

"He let us have the most-awesomes birthday part ever" (B)

"Yeah, he even let us wear camo-paint on our face"(L)

This one is from me:

"He even partakes in my family's crazy christmas eve game

and doesn't mind when the most of the time,

we are all laughing at him and

how funny he looks in his almost-too small hat!

did I say that, I meant laughing with him"

But, sweetheart, you have to admit, walking into QT

dressed like that earned all the laughs!!!

"AHHHHHHHHHHH" (B, L, and me)

"Oh Yeah! He got up on the surfboard!!" (B)

Come on people, you've got to give it to him,

this was harder than it looks! You're suppossed to get to up

on your knees and then like kneeboard through the waves,

do turns, pretty much just hang on honestly!

And some people,

(cough, cough, won't mention any names,

weren't able to get up I don't think;)

(But hey guys, "A" for effort!)

Good thing I was prego at the time, I didn't even have to try it!

(Shlitterbahn, wave pool thingy)

"He loves to eat!" (L)

We love you daddy!!!

Happy Father's Day!!!

(yes, this is an old picture, but I love it,

even if my hair now is a completely different color!)

Happy Father's Day...

To Some AWESOME Men!!! We love and appreciate each and every one of you!
