So much going on, so little time to post to my blog.
Good stuff! Z turned 4. Grandma and Z share the same b-day, so we
had a big party. It was a Cowboys and Indians Birthday Party! Lots of fun!
I'll have to post more again soon.
Right now I am getting ready to go meet my friend Meredith who took this photo. We are going to go hiking with the kids. Meredith is an amazing photographer...check out her website. http://www.meredithparmelee.com
Have a great weekend y'all!

Here is another classic! It's the windmill hole at miniature golf.
Z wanted to play miniature golf and kept asking me for 2 days straight. "When can we go to miniature golf?" He'd ask almost every 1/2 hour it seemed.
Yes, we made it to Castle Park. Z was so happy! He even got a hole in one on
hole #13. I made a hole in one on #12. Bruce made a hole in one
on #17. It was a good round of golf for all!

We got to play the full 18 holes over Labor Day weekend at Shandin Hills Golf Course. Bruce's parents watched Z.
It played very slow with everyone and their uncle playing due to the holiday weekend. It was so worth it though. I was way better on the back nine after I had a chance to practice a bit on the front nine.
I don't get much practice in these days, so I am getting my practice in while on the course. Bruce says that's the best way to practice anyways. It was fun!

Here's Z with his best friend A playing miniature golf.
He loves golf right now. Z loves putting and going to the driving range. He had a meltdown when we had to leave the course.
He loves to play!!! This was a temporary mini course set-up for
an Employee picnic at Mattel. Notice the Barbie golf pin flag.
It was fun. Z had the most fun on the course.

I love the long summer days! Z loves them too.
Last week it was windy in the afternoon, so we got the ol' kite out.
Up it went into the sky. Z is able to hold the kite string a lot better now. I usually end up flying the kite, but I enjoy it. It brings back fun memories of flying kites. This kite we have is so easy to fly. The kites we tried to fly when I was young seemed to have all kinds of
mishaps, crashes and re-trys. So, I'm loving this kite...so easy.

Here's the remnants of the nest. I think a hawk or a crow got it.
It's sad. I was so excited when I first discovered the nest with the tiny eggs, then to look out my window and see tiny beaks peeking out waiting for mom. Then one morning it was gone. Just a piece of it was left.
