Dell Match Play PGA Event in Austin, 2016

I got to attend my first PGA event this weekend - and it was in Austin! I had never been to Austin Country Club before, and I was actually surprised at how beautiful it is!!! Barrett went to the event for 3 days, but I only joined him for Friday. We got to go with two other couples, the Averys and the Gunthers. Here's a shot of the girls... Bloody Mary on a Friday around noon... rare treat!!! 
(I forgot my glasses so went immediately after this picture to buy a visor! Excuse my squinty eyes!)

 And the boys! 
  
Love this! 
 We saw this beautiful view and had to attempt a picture- before we even realized that it was right on the tee box for #12! Thanks to the lady there for letting us finish taking our picture! Hah! 
  Rory behind us! 

 Had to get this one!!! So fun! 


Here are some shots I got of the golfers! Before meeting Barrett, I knew very little about golf! But after watching these guys for the last almost 9 years, I felt like I was seeing celebrities! It was so much fun and even more exciting than I could have imagined!! 

Rory McIlroy
  
 Rory- We followed him for a while! He was fun to watch, but not very friendly or happy!! I snapped this (wasn't allowed) and he happened to look right at me! Lucky shot! 
Phil Mickelson warming up! He was very serious... 
 Bubba Watson heading out to warm up... he was so happy and nice! 
 Dustin Johnson warming up... 

 Jordan Spieth! 
 Phil... 

  Jordan walking right by us! 


  The beautiful view!! I hope we make it back to this event next year! So much fun!

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Ellie - Our Earliest Crawler!

Our little 'surprise' baby got us again and started crawling 2 months earlier than the boys did! She was close for about a week, and then at just about 8.5 months, she took her first crawls! She is getting the hang of it quickly... time to secure the legos that seem to always be all over the floor! First she started rocking on her knees, and doing little army crawls/ knees/ army crawl to get places. Then about a week later, we saw her first crawls. Within a week after those first crawls, she was all over the place!!! She will come find me in the kitchen if I leave her sitting in the living room and will venture all over the house! She's not fast, but she's pretty good! And so proud of herself! Here are some videos of her progress... Ellie's first little mini-crawls: h ttp://www.youtube.com/watch? v=xm3GTgjZXbU And she has mastered the roll-to-sit move! Yay! http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=0cmXfOE3GrA Five days of crawling... she is so obsessed with the t...

Mother's Day Celebrations

What a special and spoiled week I had!!! On Tuesday I picked these two precious things up from Champions:  Then the first celebration (well not including the Chick-fil-a mom-son date knight) was on Wednesday. LJ's class at WHPP had a Mother's Day Tea- and how lucky we were that Gigi came to town late on Tuesday night and was able to join me!!  Since Gigi was there (the only Grandmother in the room!), we got a table all to ourselves... and also LJ had twice the amount of work! He served both Gigi and me our tea/ lemonade, cookies, and fruit snacks!  He made me a very fun necklace and made me a new coffee mug all wrapped up...      I started crying when I read it: "This is the hand you used to hold when I was only 4 years old" with a hand print ned to it!!! How special!!  And a flower for Gigi!!!   This was outside LJ's classroom...  I am chopped liver with these two! Haha!!  We picked up Evan a...
