Dreaming Big

Over Spring Break, we decided to go out and play the course where the Shell Houston Open will be held in a few weeks. It was BEE--YOU---TEE--FULL!!!!! They had that course in such gorgeous shape..........I want to think it was all for US, but I think it had something to do with the fact that it is going to be on TV in a couple weeks. (But I'm sure our visit had "something" to do with it.....ha!)

Here are some pics of our wonderful family day!

It will be kinda cool to watch it on TV and actually "know" the holes that they are playing! I don't think everyone shot what they had "hoped" to shoot, but it was great just to get out there and play.

As an overly proud mommy, I must admit, when I would look out and see my sweet boys surrounded by all these grand stands, I would get this little glimmer in my eye and think, "Someday....they will fill up these stands with everyone wanting to see R and G play!"

(And the oober famous R and G will win lots of $$$$ and buy their mother lots of very expensive things with all that green!)

Five Dog Weekend

My sister came down this weekend and brought my niece-dog, Lily, and my nephew-dog, Otis.



From left: Otis, Lily, PeeWee, Maggie, Ruthie:-)



Having five precious puppies in the house all weekend made me want more.



"May I have a bite, please?"


All our plates were squeaky clean by the time they made it to the dishwasher.

"FORE" the boys..............

So we have been playing LOTS of golf around here, both in tournaments and as a family on the weekends! G plays in roughly one tournament per week and here he is last week at the Longwood course.


I decided to attend the tournament and follow quietly behind. I hope I didn't make him nervous. I couldn't resist taking a picture of this shot............he was BEHIND a tree in the fairway and had to use his putter to get out! (not his favorite hole on the course to say the least)


We have started going out as a family on the weekends and play a round. T surprised me with my very own set of clubs for Valentines day and I can't wait to take a few lessons and play with them. For now, I'm happy just being the second cart driver:-)








I'm hoping all teenagers look this thrilled to be taking a picture with their momma.


..............or their daddy. Teenagers are just a ray of sunshine, let me tell you.


Once we are away from the clubhouse, I always let R drive..........I never know where the balls are and it's just easier for him to drive to his own shots:-)


After spending a considerable amount of time sitting in golf carts over the past year, it suddenly occurred to me that maybe golfers aren't that smart based on the above picture? I would have never been able to master this thing had it not been for the clear signage.
