Catch Up

Here are some things I need to catch up on.  Some from before my long break and a few recent things.  Tyler continues to play basketball.  He had a winter season and just last Saturday finished his spring season.  He'll take a break this summer and start a team again in the fall. I can't find the picture from winter season, but here is spring season.  Scott was the assistant coach.  Tyler really enjoyed him coaching.

Molly was in dance from Jan-March.  This was her recital.  Her group did a Hungarian Bottle Dance.  They actually had a bottle on their head for some of the dance.  Her teacher just had a baby, so she's taking a break for now.  Molly is also in Tumbling & Trampoline.  She stated in Bronze, moved up to Silver, and two weeks ago moved up to Gold. 

The kids had field day about a month ago.  Molly had fun and Tyler volunteered to run a station.

The end of April, Scott, myself, and Tyler went to an Eric Church concert in Austin.  It was suppose to be last Sept., but got postponed because of Hurricane Harvey.  We had a good time! Here are my tries at selfies.

 

Scott and Tyler went to the Valero Texas Open ProAm day.  Tyler got several autographs on pictures from last year and on balls and his hat.

This is the picture of Tyler and Matt Kuchar from last year that we printed and had him sign this year.

Last week I went with Molly on her field trip.  We went to Morgan's Wonderland.  It's a fun place with several parks, swings, carousel, water play area, train...the kids had fun.

Molly's teacher had a baby on April 25th.  It was a little girl, named Charlotte.  We took her dinner and got to meet Charlotte.  She was so tiny and beautiful!

 

Tyler and Scott went  fishing with his friend, Anthony and his Dad two Saturdays ago.  They were out on the boat from 10-5.  Tyler loved it and can't wait to go back.  He even got a new fishing pole, reel, and line. 

A fish Tyler caught.

Anthony caught this one, but he doesn't touch the fish.  Loves to fish, but won't touch them!

 This should catch us up almost all the way.  I'll do a Mother's Day post this weekend. 

Parents & Cousin Visit

The plan was for my Mom to come down with 3 of the kids cousins for Molly's birthday.  When I picked them up at the airport, my Dad surprised us and came too.  I was so excited to see him as were the kids.  Friday night the kids just played and played.  Saturday was Molly's birthday so after presents and breakfast, Scott took the boy to Top Golf.  They had fun there.  From there, they went to Tyler's basketball practice and game.  Us girls were home for Molly's Spa birthday party.  As soon as it was over, we booked it to Tyler's game.  After the game, my mom and I took the kids to Target to spend money.  We ordered pizza for dinner and Harry, Scott's Dad, came over to celebrate Molly's birthday.

Sunday, we went to Son's Island on Lake Placid.  I had never heard of it before I saw the Groupon.  It's a little island.  We had our own covered hut, and dock, grill, hammock...it was nice.  The water was cold, but the kids got used to it once we got this cool thing called a lily pad. You'll see it in the pictures.  We kayaked, paddle boarded, fished, cooked out, and had a nice time.  The weather gorgeous.  Me and the kids are going back with my best friend, Debbie and her kids on the 24th. 

 

This was also nice because they could run on it, dance, play, sit...it was nice to have it to go on and not spend tons of time in the water.  We had seen a water snake.

This was my first time to paddle board and it was pretty easy.

They had my mom go out on her knees, but I think if she started standing, she'd be able to do it.

 

Tyler and Zac each caught 2 fish.

 

 

When we got home from Son's Island, we has s'mores.

Monday we headed downtown to the Tower of the America's.  We saw the movies, went up to the top, and played at a nearby park.  After that, we had to drop them off at the airport. 

This picture is a little misleading.  It was about 55 when we woke up and up top it was very windy.  It warmed up fast to the 70's.

 

 

 

 

The weekend flew by and we are so thankful they all came down to visit!

Molly's 7th Birthday

On April 14th Molly turned 7.  My parents, Zac, Bailey, and Kaleb all came down for the weekend to celebrate.  Molly had a Spa birthday party.  There were 10 girls and it went great.  We played Spa Bingo, Spin the Bottle manicures, facials, pedicures, and made cute flip flops. 

My sweet and sassy girl

For Spin the Bottle, they each took a turn spinning and whichever color it landed on , that was the color we painted their nails.

Facials!

While the facials hardened, we gave each one a manicure

These are their flip flops.  They each got a pair and then we had lots of ribbons that they tied onto the part that goes over your toes.

 

 

Holly surprised her and showed up dress as a cupcake.

It was a fun party! Molly loved it and that's all that matters.

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.
