Little Golfers

Last Saturday, Joe took the big girls out to the golf course to try out their new clubs.  They fell in love!  They have asked daily if they can go golfing again.  Carter and Jack were in town this weekend so we called Grandma Candy to join us.


Jack loves golf balls and clubs.  Jen says his plastic golf club is like his lovey!  lol  He carried around a putter and that yellow golf ball.  Carter wasn't really feeling the golf that morning, but enjoyed the golf cart ride.

Learning the basics right now.  Good grip and making contact with the ball.  Molly was excited to get to try out her driver finally.  Now they understand what Joe is doing when he is at golf practice with the high school kids!  Molly had to wear her "golf shirt" that Gma and Gpa Murphy brought back from St Kitts Golf Resort.

Our tiniest golfer loved the grass on the greens

Can't you just imagine these three sisters 10-15 years down the road all golfing together on a Saturday morning??? Watch out Dad, they might be beating you then!  :-)



Brynlee loved to get the balls out of the hole! 

We golfed almost 2 hours then we took the kids across the street to Great Grandma Merle's house to visit!  Those straps on the back to hold in the golf clubs work well for little people too!  Lol  I think this will turn into a weekly family activity!  Now Momma needs to learn to golf too!

Colorado Family Trip Day #1

Image
Well I haven't blogged in years, but have missed it so much!  Life is crazy and I want to be able to look back at all the fun we have had.  Last week, we headed to the mountains in Cuchara, CO.  We have vacationed with Joe's family to this tiny town since Molly was our only Murphy grandkid (now there are 8!). We left early Wednesday morning and we are beyond thankful that we have such great little travelers!  We made it 4 hours with NO stops.  That's amazing for all of us! Everyone beat us out there.  So we had a warm welcome from Doug, Ben & Tracy (Parker -3 and Evie 1) and Grandma Candy and Papa Tom. The cabin has a giant deck that we spend most of our time on.  There is nothing better than a cup of coffee in the morning out in the cool mountain air. Evie is now walking everywhere and smiles all the time.  It took some warming up to us, but we all won her over (until her parents were around, then she wanted them)....

Family Fun Night

Image
  The other night the girls planned a Family Fun night for us!  We played air hockey (I won!), sang karaoke and watched some shows.  I asked the girls what they wanted to eat at the Family Fun night.  They said Hot Wings!   Lol.  Our neighbors (Dale Family Farms) sells their beef, pork and chicken from their shop at the farm.  It's so convenient to run down the road and get some wings.  Joe seasons them up with some olive oil and seasoning salt.  Grills them and dips them a few times in a mixture of Frank's Wing Sauce and butter.   I finish them under the broiler to crisp up the skin.  The wings we get at DFF are big and meaty!   I roasted some potatoes and cut up some fruit to go with our hot wings.  I should say that they are not too spicy at all.  It's always fun to eat downstairs since I'm a stickler for only eating at the dining room table or at the bar! It is fun that the girls still enjoy our company! I know th...
