LPGA here I come!

I was priveledged to get to play in the 2008 Meijer Charity Classic..which was by far one of the coolest things I've ever done! I played with Stephanie Louden - who is just getting back into the swing of things in the LPGA tournaments after have a baby three months ago. She was such a delight and inspiration to talk to. It was amazing playing right with one of the pros. Our team ended up 11 under and we actually used quite a few of my shots.

Oh yeah, I'm feelin it! LPGA here I come!

Is that Natalie Gulbis or Renee Kolzow?

I can't begin to explain what an exhilerating experience this was. I don't think I'm any better at the game, but my respect for the sport is even greater than before. All I want to do is play golf now...Andy's pretty happy with that!

Celebrating Camryn's Birthday With Our Family

We had a great time celebrating Cami's birthday with our family. Camryn got really good at opening presents and loved when everyone clapped for her after she opened each one.

Kisses for everyone! Thank you all for the wonderful birthday presents and especially for spending time with me for my first birthday!

~ Love, Camryn

My 1st Birthday!

Camryn is one! I can't believe it's been a year already. Every moment has been such a blessing. I never could imagine how awesome having a child would be. Each week has been something new and it's so much fun to see Camryn grow and learn. Her little personality is definitely starting to shine. We've had so much fun this year with her, I can't wait to see what the next year brings!

For Camryn's birthday we went out to eat at Red Robin. Camryn and Daddy started the evening off with a little pedal to the metal. I'm so glad we have 15 more years till the real deal!

I'm ready to blow out my candles!
Our good friends Karl and Lindsey were pregnant with their first the same time we were pregnant with Camryn. Our due dates were a week apart, but both Camryn and Madison ended up being born on the same day. What a surprise! So we were so excited to share and celebrate their first birthday together.
Both Camryn and Madison loved the french fries!

Camryn loved the Red Robin mascot that came around.

And Madison couldn't wait to play with her balloon!

The staff came and sang happy birthday to the girls and brought them ice cream. Usually about half the wait staff hides in the kitched for birthday songs, but almost the entire restaurant staff came out to sing because everyone thought they were so adorable! The girls smiled the whole time they were singing and clapped along with them to the song.

"French fries and ice cream! What a great birthday dinner!"

"It was so much fun sharing our first birthday together Madison!"

Swimming Lessons!

Camryn and I did swimming lessons recently at the MAC.
She loved being in the pool and splashing around with the other kids, but didn't really like going under water. She was a trooper though and quickly turned her tears into laughs! Her favorite part by far was the end of the lesson when we'd all get in a circle and do Wheels on the Bus - Camryn's favorite song.
