The Masters

Scott and I went to the Tuesday practice round of the Masters.  It was wonderful!  Everything was pristine and beautiful; not a pine needle out of place.  All the volunteers were so friendly and helpful.  The lines for food and the merchandise store were fast-it was like Disney World for golfers.  We really enjoyed our day.  We walked a ton and the course is really hilly; you can't tell how much from TV, but it is and we got our exercise in.  The weather was perfect; a little chilly in the morning, but it warmed right up.  We set up chairs at hole 16.  We walked almost the whole course, but then had our chairs to go back to.  At hole 16, the golfers hit over water.  After their t-shot, they would try to skip balls over the water, so that was fun to watch. It was an experience to remember.

This is on Magnolia Lane, the road the golfers drive up to come to the course and clubhouse

Easter & GA Trip

Sorry I have been gone forever.  I feel like everything is just the normal stuff and not much to post.  Now I will catch up.  For Easter, we were in Georgia at my friend, Rachel's house.  We got in on Saturday.  Sunday we went to church and then on a nice hike.

Rachel took this picture while Scott and I ran to the store. You can tell it was someone else because Tyler smiled for her.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Monday we went to the Columbia Zoo.  It's a really nice zoo.  Payton was excited to show us the ropes course they had.  Molly and I said we'd try it.  Tyler doesn't like heights. Anyway, it was scarier that I thought it'd be.  Molly did the first level and said it was terrifying and was finished. I was proud of her for doing something scary!  We all need to do things that scare us and stretch us sometimes.  I did the second and third levels with Payton and it was nerve racking. 

Molly on her first time across

Her second challenge.  The next one was a plain balance beam with no sides to hold onto.  Tyler didn't get a picture of that one.

Me on the second level

Me on the third level.  It was scary!

The zoo also had a fun water park that the kids had fun at.

Tuesday Rachel watch Tyler and Molly while Scott and I went to a practice round at the Masters.  My next post will be that.

Atlanta Girls Trip

The first weekend in January, Debbie and I met up with Rachel in Atlanta for girls weekend.  We hadn't all 3 been together in over 2 years.  It was colder than normal, highs only in the 30's, so we had to change some plans.  Our segway tour was cancelled and it was the College Football National Championships, so Centennial Olympic Park was closed.  We made the most of it and had a blast.  We had amazing food, we shopped at Ponce City Market, went to Krog City Market, drove down Krog street to see all the graffiti, rented bikes to ride on the Beltline, rode the Skyview Ferris Wheel, went on a CNN tour, went to the Coca-Cola Museum, and went bowling.  We talked and talked and laughed and laughed.  It was a blast!  Here are pictures in no particular order.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I love these ladies so much.  We can't wait for our next trip!

Molly's New Look

Yesterday Molly had an eye appt. to get her eyes checked.  She was having trouble seeing the board at school.  Just like the rest of us, she is nearsighted.  She got two pairs of glasses and looks so cute!  She is amazed by how well and how much she can see now.

These are a nice blue color since that is her favorite color.  The sides have different patters and colors.  See picture below.

 

These one she picked out because they are cheetah print and are teal on the side which she also likes.

 My Atlanta trip with Debbie and Rachel was so fun!  I'll have pictures up soon.

Catch Up Post

I want to get caught up here on the blog.  We had a nice Christmas.  Stacey was in town from CO and Brett & family were here from Austin for one night.  Of course, Harry and Mary were over since they live 1 mile from us now.  I don't have a ton of pictures.  Here's one of Tyler and Molly decorating cookies with Stacey, the kids Christmas morning, and me and Vienne.

 Molly got two dolls, new horses, new leotards, shoes, ice cream maker, new slides for her microscope, and her big gift was her new circle swing for outside.  It's been a hit. 

 

 

Tyler's big gift was tickets to the Cavalier vs. Spurs game in a few weeks.  He also got a Cavs jersey, pennant, wall stickers, and floor rug.  He got some new outdoor things that every 10 year old needs such as a new knife, folding hand saw, folding shovel, and a new air soft pistol. 

 

On the 27th, Scott and I went with my best friend, Debbie and her husband, Blair to the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort in Bastrop.  Scott and Blair played in a golf tournament back in October and got 2nd.  They each got a free night and two free rounds of golf.  They played both rounds even though it was freezing.  I don't know how they did it.  Debbie and I left a little later than the guys, had lunch, and shopped at the Outlets.

We met up with the guys when they finished and sat with them while they ate.  We each checked in and spent some time together.  We met up with Debbie and Blair for dinner.  While we waited we played Monopoly by the fire.  It was fun.  Dinner was delicious too!

 

For New Year's Ever Debbie and her family and Scott's friend Philip and his family came over for dinner, games, and fireworks.  New Years Day, we went bowling.  It was the boys against the girls.  The boys won, but we all had fun.

Tomorrow Debbie and I are flying to Atlanta to have a girls weekend with Rachel.  We're excited.  Only bad thing is that instead of being in the 50's, the high is 35.  COLD!  We'll have fun no matter what. 

Phew, that was a lot and now I'm up to date till I get back.
