FORE!!








Sean bought Brandon some real golf clubs last week. When I'm in school, they get to have a lot of one on one time, so they have been going to the driving range. Brandon loves play golf and to be outside, but his favorite part is hanging out with Dad. These are just some shots of the boys messing around at our apartment complex. Check out the video of Brandon hitting with his driver; it's really cute!

Swimming at the Trump's




During our visit to Utah, Joel and Julie invited us to Julie's parents house to swim and for some lunch. After a few setbacks like a swimsuit for me, floaties for Brandon and goggles for Grace, we made our way to Centerville. The Trumps have a beautiful home and pool with a slide and diving board. The water was nice and the lunch Julie made was tasty. Brandon was nervous about the slide at first, but after going down with me and a few successful solo attempts, he didn't want to do anything else. Grace was comical with her underwater tricks, Lizzie impressed us with her all around athletic ability, and Amanda made friends quickly with some of Julie's siblings. I was able to get to know Julie's siblings a little bit as we were playing in the pool. Ryan was shocked to find out that I am the baby of my family, as he is in his, and that Joel is my older brother. However, Megan and he seemed to understand when I told them that Joel used to tease me when we were younger. Overall, the day was great and the company was greater. Thanks for a wonderful day!
