Bourbon Derby

 

This handsome forever date of mine is also my favorite co-party planner.

We had the best time planning and hosting our annual Kentucky Derby party.

 

As you know, my favorite part of life is taking pictures, so we loved the backdrop. 

 

My favorite snack was the chex mix.  It was so unbelievably addictive and delicious. 

 

Gary and I love having guests to our home.  We are thankful for our friends old and new.

 

Even though the race result wasn't what we hoped we still had an amazing night celebrating and entertaining. 

Easter 2018

We spent our Easter morning on the golf course.

It was a wonderful day for golf.  The weather was breezy but nice and the sun was shining bright!

The Easter bunny delivered eggs to our backyard.

I'm so obsessed with our backyard view.  If this isn't God's work!!  

Gorgeous clouds on an Easter evening!

We enjoyed a relaxing afternoon on the back porch.  Layla drew pictures, Hayden played with his lizard friend and Gary and I just enjoyed the warm April sunshine!

I played the worst round of golf ever.  I actually quit.  I had high hopes for my Easter golf game, but it was less than pleasant.  It's been awhile since I failed so terribly at golf.  You win some and you lose some.

Happy Easter y'all!!

golf lover

We see him climbing the fence and leaving the gate open to chase after stray golf balls.

We see him every single morning sporting a 'polo' shirt, because that is what golfers wear.

We see him hitting the snot out of the ball as it launches up high in the sky.

We see his smile when his golf coach tells him how awesome he is doing.

We see the want to learn in his eyes and we are proud of his hard work!!!!

goalie for the last game

 

Last Saturday at the game Hayden hurt his knee, so today for the last game he played goalie.

He  did an amazing job.  It's so hard to see him limping and I know he wants to run and play hard, but he just can't.  He had a wonderful season and scored at least 2-3 goals per game.  I just love watching him play.  I hope his knee feels better soon and that he is back to running fast soon.  You know when you're 8 years old it is all about how fast you can run!! :)

Mother's Day 2016

  

We celebrated my first Mother's Day back in Texas.

I had a great day with my people.  They spoiled me all day long.

We all cracked up laughing when we set up the timer for this picture.  Lily licked Hayden right on his face.   I couldn't find the selfie stick so we did the best we could with the auto-timer on my iPhone.  The family is so sweet to let me get pictures.  I asked for a family shot and they totally knew it was coming!  I've got them trained right! ;)

All  I wanted for lunch was Chicken Parmesean.  

Gary decided on Carino's, back where Gary and I worked once upon a time.  We splurged on Italian nachos, a salad, entree and a tiny dessert.  The dessert shocked me. It said mini, but it was really mini.  I got a tiny square of cheesecake and I was not impressed by it's size.  I saved my chicken parm to take home and finish for dinner.  I purposefully only ate a little so I could have room for dessert, but the dessert was definately different since we worked at Carinos. Kindof a bummer, that they were out of TIRAMISU. What in the world??

Gary got chicken picata and the kids got pizza dippers.

After our lunch they took me to HEB and let me pick out a hanging basket for my back patio.  I'm easy to please.  Anddddd since the cheesecake I ordered was so tiny we ended up getting another whole cake. LOL!  oink.  It was just a little frozen turtle cheesecake, but we all had more dessert and laid around full for the rest of the day!

Happy Mother's Day to all my favorite moms!!

happy kiddos [finally} at TopGolf

Gary and I have been to Top Golf a couple of time since moving to the Atlanta area.

The kids were not happy with us going without them, but we decided to try it out and make sure it was fun before taking them.  You know, we wouldn't want to take them somewhere lame. ;) heeheehee!

We took them today!  The wait was crazy long, so we drove to check out a nearby lake and then we went back.  The wait was a bit shorter but we still had to wait.  We ate a few appetizers and the kiddos go the donut holes.  Top Golf serves infusable donut holes.  It is brilliant!!

I love my guys!!

We had a wonderful time and the kids seemed to love golfing at Top Golf.  Layla was doing amazing.  At one point Hayden was complimenting Layla on her swing.  He said, "wow those golf lessons really paid off!"  I'm surprised he remembers her taking golf lessons in Texas.

Ahhhh!  I love this girl!  This is what our selfies have turned into.  Silly stinker!

We had a fun day golfing.  At one point it was raining and we were completely dry.  

Yay for indoor golfing!
