1st trip to the golf course!

While I was at work one day Matt took Easton to buy his first golf club, a putter. Golf is an easy concept for 3 year olds...you hit the ball, it goes in the hole (at least it's supposed to!) and you get "super, berry, really, berry, super" excited (or mad!). As soon as I got home we rushed over to the nearest golf course. He loved the putting green, the driving range and the "free" balls (especially a blue one & yellow one which he wouldn't let Matt touch). Matt was eager to teach, Easton was more eager to do it by himself..."I do it!!!!" Both my boys had a great day! We had to peel him off the putting green by bribing him with ice cream. (Matt, not Easton!! LOL, I crack me up!! Is this mic on?!)

Sax-a-NO!!!!!!!!

Let me first preface this blog entry by telling you that I will most definitely be in the doghouse for posting these pictures...BUT I just could NOT resist! (Sorry Matt!)

Once upon a time Matt was a saxaphone player (luckily he stopped before we started dating!) In the 12 years we've been together he has kept said saxaphone....I've only seen him play it twice... Once when we were first dating (I called him Lisa Simpson) and once the other night for Easton. Easton is far more impressed than I. As soon as I saw he was dusting off his sax I RAN for the video camera...which he's probably since erased :( It was super duper funny. Of course I'm sure in his day he was an excellent saxaphone player...he's good at everything he does. (Hopefully that saves me!)

Better watch your back Kenny G!

Easton playing the "trumpet!"

Happy 4th of July!!

Enjoying Kettlecorn!

Watching the Fireworks.

Front Porch Looking In...

Easton wanted to water the plants out front today because he said, "They're schweaty & firsty." (sweaty & thirsty). I couldn't help but think of that Lonestar song "My Front Porch Looking In."

"The view I love the most is

my front porch looking in...

I see what beautiful is about when I'm looking in

not when I'm looking out."
