Family Frolf



Now that the weather has warmed a little, we have once again taken up our favorite summer pastime of frisbee golfing at the local course. OK, this is really Tom's favorite (because he is stinkin' AMAZING at it and places at all the area tournaments!), but he lets us come along and Derek and I are learning together. Dallan gets to ride in the stroller and play at the park when we are done.

If you are really savvy with a frisbee (like my Tom), you actually call it a "disc" and thus "disc golf", and carry a specialized bag full of expensive, varying weight "discs" including distance drivers, putters, etc... Yes, you would think that this being like and actual SPORT I would normally run and hide, but I actually quite enjoy it. Last summer I even bought a basket to practice putting in our backyard!! Roller blades here I come!!! OK, so I'm still scared of all sports that require balance. Oh, and balls. And teams. He he. But I am seriously thinking about trying to play in our famous family four-square tournment this year.

Tom looking very serious about the game.
We thought this picture was awesome becuase of the way the sun is shining on Derek's frisbee.
Dallan the happy rider.
If any of you out there want to try it out sometime, come on up, we would love to take you! :o)

I'm old!!

OK, so I'm not that good at frequent blogging. Big surprise huh? I hope no one was waiting on the Christmas pictures. I did get them into scrapbooks in record time but forgot about the blog. I'll try and post a couple below.

So I survived my 28th birthday. Can't believe how old I am! I remember my own mother when she was my age. Speaking of my mom, she and my little brother Brock were nice enough to come up and watch my kids for a whole day while I went shopping and went to a chick flick with Tom. It was so nice! THANKS MOM AND BROCK!


Derek has started going to preschool and loves it. He is such a social kid and wants to play with friends all day every day. Dallan is getting to be a little "smarty" like his brother and has already mastered the fine art of clicking the mouse to play his favorite PBS and Nick Jr. games. I have to pull him off the computer several times a day.

Tom is back coaching track and is pretty busy at his other part time job as well (Academic Mentor for Achieve Online School). We don't see him much in the spring but appreciate how hard he works for us. It's nice that we have the summer together to make up for it.

I finally finished my brother's art website . It's not the most professional site ever, but I'm proud of it and he got it for free. :o) I also finished the 6th season of SMALLVILLE (great incentive to ride my elliptical each morning). I am now back to watching LOST and THE OFFICE. I haven't worked out so consistently.....well, ever! Thank goodness for good TV on DVD!
