Kiah combs daddy's "hair"


So, the other day Kiah found a brush and decided to "comb" Jason's head! It was cute. She can stand for a few seconds by herself. I think she'll be walking in 2 weeks; I hope I'm wrong.

The boys



I just had to post these pictures of the boys, they turned out so well. I love the one of Justin, he is hard to photograph. (Jason took the photos)

Triathlon


Jason ran his first triathlon on Saturday. He did a really great job and finished:) Is was a hot day, so it made the running difficult, but he did it yeah! I am so proud of him. The distances were 300yd swim, 12 miles bike, and 3 miles run.

Golf Dream - At Least for me...






Justin, Isaac and I went to the local golf tournament at the course I used to work at as a server. We went to watch my favorite golfers, Omar Uresti. The previous few weeks, while watching the Golf Channel, the boys and I had been practicing our "hook'em horns"a hand sign from the University of Texas. Omar and his caddy use it in a handshake after every birdie, so the boys and I were prepared to join in.

The day was hot, and sweaty. I looked part Sherpa with two water bottles hanging off my belt, and my cargo shorts full of carrots and trail mix so the two boys would make all 18 holes in the 95 degree heat. As luck turns out, Omar was paired with David Morland IV, a golfer from Aurora, Ontario. On the second hole, David gave Isaac a ball with a smiley face on it. When we got the the 18th (they started on the back nine), Omar and David asked if Justin and Isaac would like to ride with them to the next tee (about 6-700 yards away, up a hill) in their courtesy cart. So Isaac climbs up on Omar's lap, and David holds onto Justin. When I finally caught up to them, I was running behind, Justin and Isaac were each drinking from water bottles given to them by the pros. They also got some Powerade as well. By the end of the day, they each had a ball from both players, signed. To walk around a course with a 4 & 5 year old who stayed quiet and polite the whole time was a sight to behold. At the end of the round, both Omar and David had a lot of nice things to say about the boys. After five hours on the course, the boys had a bath, dinner, and a long sleep. I watched the pros play the front nine the next morning, and they asked about the boys. It was impressive to see guys who are amazing pro athletes, take the time to recognize some kids. As a dad, it was one of my best days with the boys. They made me so proud.
