LumberKids FunFest 2009

Ashton wanted to participate in the NC Volleyball Clinic. He had such a great time! It was 3 Fridays, and then there was the LumberKids FunFest. This involved kids ages 4-14. All 3 of my boys participated. They had soccer, volleyball, hoola-hoops, coloring books, games and puzzles, bubbles, and sidewalk chalk. It was a really fun time!

Auntie Heather's Graduation

My little sister graduated May 9th with a Master's of Art in Speech Communication from the Minnesota State University, Mankato. She was a graduate assistant, which means she taught while she went to school. She never fussed or fretted over school, she paced herself and made every deadline without breaking a sweat. She put 100% in and it paid off, because she graduated and will be having her thesis published, which is such an honor.
Congratulations Auntie Heather, we are so very proud of you. All of your hard work has paid off. You attempted grad school and you more than succeeded, you rocked it! Great job, you are our inspiration.

Waiting for the Graduates! Do you see all the chairs, this was only the first of 3 graduations that day. Holy pickles, that is one big school!

Playing Miniature Golf . . . For the Second Time!

Random Bath Photo, it was such a cute picture of his little bubble beard.

Most of you know Ashton's favorite thing to do is play golf. At home, he plays golf in the yard, in the house, probably at school. He has played golf with his tooth brushes! He told us he wants to play golf when he grows up, we convinced him to be a doctor so that he could play golf all the time. Terrible, maybe. I have often wondered if Tiger Woods did this, played golf non-stop when he was a youth.

We went to this wonderful mini-golf course. Ashton had such a blast, we had to do it again. One would think the second time around wouldn't be as fun, but then they would be wrong. The kids had a great time. I didn't play, I had to chase after the kids (who all split in different directions and duck from all the darn birds).

Jackson's Ball~Eight Ball

TJ's is a red ball

Ashton had a yellow Ball

Nana's was Purple.

There was Goose Poop on this hole, so we had to avoid it! Gross!!!

Some of the really cool holes, they were huge and we peeked inside the wondows. Some of the windows in the house were broke, golf ball.

Visiting the Minnesota State University, Mankato Campus

Auntie Heather is graduating with her Masters from the Minnesota State University, Mankato. She is in the Speech Communications Master's of Art program. The boys had fun playing in her office as she attempted to get some work done. That didn't last long!
