Saturdays...

Warning: Obnoxious number of photos ahead.


This past Saturday Matt and I pulled on our golf shoes, tossed our girls in the van and had a heck of a beautiful day at the course. 


Can't wait for the trees to green-up.


Since CJ can't much master a golf club, she became the official caddy for the remaining family members.



Although our caddy was quite lazy sometimes and instead of catering to our needs she'd hang in the cart stuffing her sweet cheeks full of popcorn. I guess I can't blame her really.


Where is that caddy when you need her?!


Oh, there she is. Still eatin' up all the popcorn.


After squeezing in nine holes of golf we piled back into the mini-van for home, but made a quick pit stop at the park.


This slide is huge and Miss Claudia, not unlike her sister, LOVES it!


As you can see here...


Yep, there's the big slide...in case you didn't believe me.









After that we dug the soccer ball out from underneath the van seats.
An Iowa State soccer ball...of course.
I've never met anyone who loves Iowa State as much as Matt.


CJ was not a very good goalie.
Kate liked that. :)


Pressure is setting in...or she was just warm.






One of my favorite pictures from the day...

And Kate's golf/soccer shoes of choice...pink, plaid, bow covered shoes with Belle socks.
Why not?


Oh, and in case you were wondering, despite the lack of proof, I too was golfing and park playing and soccer ball kicking...but I was also in charge of the camera.

Here's to another fun weekend ahead...

That is a big slide!!

I was going to comment on how cute Kate's outfit was before I even got to the bottom of the post. Gotta love little girl fashions! I saw a few more funny ones in Wal-mart this afternoon. It made me not feel so bad. As I feared when I bought them, Emily has insisted on wearing the brightly colored pair of socks corresponding to the day of the week printed on them rather than any sort of color matching for the last 3 weeks. I should have stuck to day-of-the-week underwear. ;o)

P.S. I tried another new muffin recipe today that turned out pretty good. It's a coffee cake muffin made with real coffee and a spoonful of fruit jam/preserves in the middle.

To be brave...

Image
At the young age of 14, our oldest daughter was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Glioblastoma is not a cancer with stages. It is only stage four; that's how deadly and impossible it is to heal from. When the pediatric oncologist sat herself onto Kate's hospital bed to share the awful news, Kate simply and stone-faced asked if she was going to die. "Do nothing and yes, you will." Kate's diagnosis and she shed no tears. Whereas I had minutes ago been sobbing into my husbands chest wishing I could die instead.  Kate was fortunate(?) to live two and a half more years. Two and a half years without hair, without pursuing her dreams, without...a lot. She bravely and boldly walked into the high school any chance her body would allow wholly different and beyond recognition from the girl she once was. Two and a half years after diagnosis on a chilly November 21st, I read the MRI report minutes before we were to meet with her oncologist. The report was damning. Seated n...

March Madness 2024...

Let's talk brackets. I love a good competition. I love to win. But when I don't win I can typically move on quite quickly from a loss (unless we are specifically talking about Big Six Swim Offs, but I digress.) We have a family group on ESPN for the men's NCAA basketball tournament and it's "high stakes" with no entry fee, a chocolate rabbit for the winner and most importantly bragging rights. While I've never won, nor have I ever been close to winning, I thought I'd share my rationale for my picks through the first round of play. You should not follow this advice but if you so choose to, don't blame me when you too lose out to a cat with it's own bracket. East Region UConn 1 v Stetson 16: This is a silly way to start because it's a 16 v a 1 seed and clearly we know the very likely outcome of this game. But if I could, I'd choose Stetson cologne over a Huskie dog because Huskies kind of scare me a little. Regardless I am going with the ...
