Golf Camp!!

The kids had three days of golf camp, and they loved it!! They learned more about their drivers, putters, chipping, etc. Courtney was of course the only girl at the camp, but hopefully that will keep up and one day we can capitalize on a scholarship! They are both turning out to be great golfers, and love to go all of the time.

Summer Fun!!

I am so glad that school is out, and the summer fun can begin. The grass is turning green finally at our house, and the trees have their leaves. My kids can finally go outside and play!! Hooray!! Being outside is the best, and the kids love to just hand out and do their thing. We are excited as a family to get out and boat. Dave and Zack are changing the oil, and putting new sparkplugs in the boat this very minute. He loves working with his dad, and he asked for his own set of tools today. Courtney's patience with Brett never seems to end!! She loves to follow him around, and help him navigate the swingset or throw the baseball. Brett asks to be outside from the very second that he wakes up in the morning.

After months of snow and cold weather, this is just the ticket. It is amazing how a little Vitamin D is good for your mood!! Ha Ha. Do you think any of my kids have noticed that mom has a little spring in her step these days. I doubt it.

We are sure looking forward to all of the visitors that are coming out this summer. My good friend Annie and her family are coming out in June, my brother and his family are coming out in July, and one of Courtney's friends from back home is coming out for five days in July also!! The kids and I were talking about how our summer is filling up really fast, and it will be a blink of an eye and school will start again. Have a great summer everyone!!

Hopefully I can get the Hang of the Picture Thing!!

Kearney, Nebraska

Aren't friends awesome!! I am so glad that Suzette and Wendy got me going on my blog this weekend. Without their help, I am not sure that I would have been able to figure it all out!! Our families all met in Kearney (pronounced Carney), Nebraska to hang out. Why Kearney, Nebraska? Only because it is half-way in all directions, and it just plain didn't matter where we went. They are all just awesome people, and a riot to hang out with. We didn't do anything special. It was just an absolute riot to play at the local park, and just sit around and catch up on all that we had missed over the last year or so.

Good friends are hard to come by, especially those where all the husbands, wives, and kids all get along. I am so grateful for these great families, and would be lost without them. Thanks for coming and making our weekend one that we will never forget!!
