Almost Famous

On Saturday, we headed out to the beautiful town of Azle, Texas. 
My brother came in town for a golf tournament and asked Aaron and Jonny to play with him.  When I agreed to come and watch, I was unaware that tee off time was at 8:00.  I decided to go anyway, even though it meant waking up at 5:30 to be there in time. 
We had a great time and the guys played really good!  They shot a 57, 15 under.  Unfortunately, that was only good enough for 4th place.  They probably should have won, but I think some people can't keep score accurately.  Oh well.  It was a good time and that is the most important thing.
It was a very well run tournament.  They had a "Vegas Hole" on a par three.  You paid $5 to get in and whoever won split the pot with the tournament.  Aaron teed off and it was going way left, but it hit the cart path and bounced all the way back onto the green and rolled about 10 feet away.  They ladies measured it and told us he was the closest one so far :)  He ended up losing to someone who hit it 8 feet away.
On one of the par 5s they let you tee off from the ladies tee if you paid $5 again.  The only stipulation was that everyone on the team had to pose for a picture in ladies skirts!  The guys were all really good sports and even said "I feel like a piece of meat"!  It was pretty funny.  I am so glad I brought my camera with me :)  Here are a few pics.

The Team

 Daniel and me :)

 Good sports....showing off their legs

 Daniel wanted to hit the ball in the skirt too

About bringing the camera with me....I just wanted to get some good pics of the guys playing golf, but I had a funny conversation when I went to the clubhouse to get some food.  When the guys were making the turn, I ran in to get some snacks for us and as I was going back to my cart, one of the ladies working the tournament ran up to me and asked if I was taking pictures.  I told her yes, but just of my group.  She then said, "well, yeah, but is there someone famous in your group?"  I almost started laughing but told her no, it was just my brother and husband and their friends.  She said, oh okay, I just wanted to make sure we weren't missing someone that we should be catering to. 
It was really pretty funny.  I guess we did kind of stick out...it was a tournment to raise money for the Azle High School Football booster club and we didn't know anyone in the tournament.  I guess my nice camera threw them off and they didn't know what to think.  When I came back and told the guys about it, they all got mad and said I should have said yes there was someone famous in our group.  I guess I missed my chance to be famous :)

Blame Game

Ok, so obviously I have been slacking in the blog area lately.  I completely, 100% blame the iPad for this.  Ever since we got it, my blogging has taken a hit.  I hardly ever turn on my computer anymore, and I only blog from the computer because I don't like how it looks when I try to write a new blog on the iPad.  Anywho, now that you know who's fault it is, I feel better :)
Lots has happened since my last blog...the most important being that Aaron started with Dallas Fire Department!  It has been a long journey to get to this point, but he did it!  Right now he is in the training phase so he is not enjoying it as much as he will when he gets to the station.  Training incluedes sitting in a class and learning all of DFD's protocals and LOTS of running/training.  Because of this, he needed some good running shoes.  Another guy told him about this store where they would fit you to a perfect pair of running shoes that supported your foot.  It is called Run On.  We went to the one in Coppell and the workers there were very friendly and knew what they were talking about.  I was a little scared we would be spending $200 on shoes (they didn't have the prices on the shoes and thats never a good sign).  However, I was pleasantly surprised to see that his shoes were $90!  Hopefully they work out well and keep him from getting shin splints.
Another big event happened recently.  Baseball started!  If you know us, you know this is an exciting thing :)  I have enjoyed watching baseball almost every day when I get home from work. 

For the second year in a row, I am participating in Fatasy Baseball with the girls.  We have gotten a bit more competetive this year and all put in $10.  The winner and second place teams will get the money at the end.  Last year I ended up getting second place, so I am hoping to see some improvement and WIN this year!  We'll see :)
I promise I will do better with my blogging!
