First Golf Win!!!

Curtis and his 4 man team (including his brother, Les) won the BYU Alumni Golf Tournament last week at the Highlands Ranch Golf Club!  They finished 15 under in the scramble, just one ahead of the next group of golfers.  They have won a trip to a national college alumni tournament in Pinehurst, North Carolina at the end of October, in which 60 other colleges are taking part.  Even though he is the only alumni on his team (it was called the "Friends of BYU" golf tournament :)  ), they are all pretty excited to golf at one of the nation's oldest and prestigious golf courses.  When I get some pics from the day, I will post them.  Go Cougars!

Ryan & Trinny's Wedding

Maya taking a nap on the way down. Most of you probably got a text from Marianne with a photo very similar to this but she just looked so cute I had to take my own picture and post it. 

Dave hid his phone right as I was taking this picture because he thought I was trying to get a photo of him being antisocial with his iPhone. That wasn't my intention but it is kind of annoying when he does that during family functions, don't you think? 

Antie Mers and my cute Maya.

Thought all of the sisters who weren't able to be there would appreciate a photo of the cake. The ribbon on it was gorgeous and looked so pretty when it sparkled in the sunlight.

When I went to the zoo in 4th grade my parents sent me with a camera and said that I should make sure to get my friends in the photos and not just the animals. That advice stuck with me so I made sure to get Mers and Maya in the photo with the cake. (See, I did take some of my parents advice every now and then.)

Mary Lou giving Trinny's bouquet a thorough examination. I do believe it was approved by all. 

Maya loves slides. 

She claps every time she gets to the bottom. 

She especially loves going down slides with Daddy.

Prettiest girl I've ever seen. 

Mary Lou assisting the photographer. 

Maya loves her grandpa.

Not sure who the little girl is holding Maya (she was a server) but she loved her and probably would have carried her around all night had we let her. 

Such a happy girl. 

Cake cutting time. They were way to nice to each other and no messes were made. 

Pacifiers and Parties

I uploaded some photos today and noticed that Maya had the pacifier in her mouth upside down. I remembered that Meg posted photos of both James and Emily with theirs upside down as well so I thought I would share this with everyone:

Also wanted to share these photos from the 24th of July party:

California Shamu

Hey, we were sad to miss out on meeting the California Shamu with the Holman family! Sounds like you had a great time at the beach and all together. Wish Texas weren't such a big state to make the drive a little closer. We went to Sea World here on Friday night to enjoy the crowd and heat ourselves:). Sure would love to feel that nice SD weather! Looking forward to seeing photos of all your adventures. May 2011--Since baby is on the mind here, Shamu and white seal get a little newborn pampering with onesies and love from their mamma Alyssa.

Pictures

Hi! I wanted to share a few pictures and I wanted to thank everyone for the birthday wishes and for being understanding (or at least putting up with) my choice not to celebrate it this year. Next year we will party for sure! 

Anyway, here are the pictures. Hope all is well!

Mother's Day 

Grandpa Miles' birthday. I think Maya likes whipped cream. 

She has found her nostrils and she loves them! 

Happy Birthday to my favorite sister-in-law!

I know it is a day late, but I didn't want to overwhelm Shandie with too many birthday wishes in one day! Just wanted to give a happy birthday holla to my favorite sister-in-law!

Love you Shand, hope it was a good one!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to my awesome Mom, sisters and sister-in-law! Thought I'd share the cutest picture from Mother's Day. Take a look at those teeth — Maya's I mean.

xoxo,
Mers
