2012 Walnut Creek Member Guest Golf Tournament

This is one of my favorite golf tournaments and I always look forward to it!  It is super fun and a great opportunity for Kristie and I to get on the course together.  We started golfing at a young age it was a big part of our lives growing up.  After college we put the clubs up for awhile while focusing on our careers, family, etc.  We love to play but just don't get out as much as we would like being the busy moms that we are today.  :)  

Heading out the first day...

 

Love this picture.  Just like the old days :)

We had a tough start.  We hit the ball well but left some shots out there...especially a few 3 foot putts we missed.   We shot a gross 79 in best ball format. 

Day 2 was scramble/shamble format.  Our A games showed up this day.  We gave ourselves lots of good opportunities to score, made good putts and shot a 66 which put us at 2nd Gross and 3rd Net for the tournament.  Hooray!!!

Thanks to our wonderful husbands for holding out the fort and keeping all of the kids safe!  :)  

Y'all are the best!! 

Me and the boys :)   

Morgan is such a great little helper with Sadie!  They guys are lucky they had such a good helper. ;) Sweet girls 

  Sadie at 10 months...some of her first steps!  

Busy finger painting.  Such sweet little cousins!

What a fun weekend!!

My Husband the...Triathlete!

No resting this Labor Day - Bryan competed in his 1st Sprint Triathlon - The Blackland Tri in Plano. 

His friend, Casey encouraged him to sign up.  Bryan loves having fitness goals so this was right up his alley.  I am proud of them for wanting to accomplish something of this magnitude. Training for an event like this takes real discipline, both mental and physical variety.   

The kids were busy the night before the race making their cheer signs...

 Look at those great coloring jobs!!!

 The cheerleaders with signs, whistles and a blow horn to help cheer on Daddy, Casey and everyone else!

 Casey heading out of transition 1...All smiles

 Go Daddy!!!!

 Transition 2...about to take off on run

 Bryan and Casey met up on the last mile of the run.  

 There was just a little bit of rivalry between the two of them. :)

 Coming across the finish line!  

 Daddy's little support group :)

Labor Day was hotter than heck...

 The kids had so much fun at the race!

Bryan and Casey - A little tired but they did awesome!!

Bryan's mom was a great cheerleader as well as a big help to me.

Judy - we are so happy you were there with us to support Bryan!! 

Bryan - I am so proud of you and I love you for everything you are - healthy and fit, well-balanced husband, father, businessman, friend and now triathlete. You are truly amazing!!

Our little boy's Big Bed!

Our little Graham got his BIG BED!  He is super excited about it.  We have been talking about getting one and just got around to converting his crib to a full bed last night.  Graham has been an excellent sleeper and loved his crib.  He always slept curled up in one corner, never tried to get out and would not make a peep until around 8 or 8:30 every morning.  Yes, we are so spoiled!!  I just woke up one day and was ready to change his room but I was hoping it wouldn't mess up his good sleeping habits...staying in his bed and sleeping until 8!  :)

Last night in his crib

  Happy as can be!

  Love my baby boy!

 So...last night was the big night.  First sleep in his big bed.  Went to bed very easily, just like before!  

He looks so little in there... 

 And he did PREFECT!  We told him he couldn't get out of his bed and he didn't.  

We didn't hear a peep, slept until 8 and just laid in there until I went in this morning.  

 Still all smiles! 

 Here is his bed all make up.  Now on to decorating the rest of his room.  I picked this bedding because I figured it would grow with him but I am adding 'sport themed' decor because that is what he loves!  

One thing we did was put swim noodles under his fitted sheet to act as bed rails.  

Got this idea from my friend, Jennifer.  Brilliant!  

Couldn't have asked for a smoother transition into the big bed!   So proud of my little boy!
