Baby Shower for the Pipester

 Brooke's friend Hailey decided to give Brooke a baby shower.  She had it at Lyndsay's house in farmington.  I decided to bring a gift. I really haven't given them a gift yet, waiting to see what they still need.  But I shopped at the Target and bought some Diapers. It has been a long time since I bought diapers.  I liked Huggies but I bought them for McKenna and she wanted some organic kind.  Nope I like Huggies.  When you buy small sizes, don't get the huge box because you never now how long they will fit in them.  There is my only words of advice.


This is the sign by the door when I showed up.

We walk in and there is this sign

Here's Brooke and McKenna near the sign

Look how cute the table was all decorated.  That is Hailey in the back ground in the grey shirt

She got so many great gifts

Quilt the Hailey made for Brooke.  It had Corgi's on it.  It was sooo cute.
Piper's diapers she wore when she first was born

Now she's up to these bigger ones. Way to 
go Piper.
She had some scratch off cards to win a prize.  I didn't win.

I did win the guess how many chocolate kisses were in the vase.  I got the kisses AND a gift.  A Cauldrin with some shampoo and a gift card to Chik Fil A. Always a good fit.  

It was such a great time.  Hailey and Lyndsay knocked themselves out for Brooke.  Hailey said I didn't need to do anything but show up. I can do that.  Fun time was had by all.

She got her first real bath






Shes up to this size in the diapers.  

She's doing so well.  I can't wait for her to get bigger and breathing and come to see her Grandma!!

St. George Tuacahan

After the golf tournament, I arrived home on Sunday, and on Monday I turned around and headed back to St. George.  Michelle and I had tickets to Tuacahan.

On our way, we stopped in Fillmore to golf.  It is a great course and a nice break about two hours in to play 9 holes.  It is just 9 holes anyway.  Here's Michelle showing her skill


Great time was had by all.  Then we headed the rest of the way to St. George.  Tonight was Finding Nemo.  We parked on Row 6.  Gotta take a pic in case we get liqured up and forget.  Or we just forget all on our own which is more like it.


This was our least favorite shows in a LONG time.  Like 2/10.  They do a great job, but it was just not very good.  At least it was only 55 minutes with a 15 minute intermission...

Next day we headed to the Foot Spa for a massage.  It was fantastic.  We kept our clothes on, and got a 60 minute massage.  It actually helped my knee.  I think the massaging got all the fluid moving and so it felt better.  It is a definite every time I end up in St. George.

Next show was Grease.  It isn't usually one of my favorites, but it was fantastic.  I really liked it.  They left out some of the scenes I don't like, like the track team try out which was fantastic.  
I don't usually like it because in the end, Sandy has to be a slutty girl to fit in.  But this time, I didn't get the same vibe.  She did change her appearance a bit, but not so much.  It was really good. 


Michelle decided to do these stairs.  They are up by the old airport and you walk down or up them.  She decided to walk down and up.  I decided to watch from the top as my knee hurt.  Down is the worst.  She made it back in about 10 minutes. She did great.  She is cool like that.  




Last show was Les Mis.  This is absolutely the best of the three of course.  I had seen it in June but it was every bit as good as it was in the summer.  It was super long, so that might be why the did a shorter one, Nemo in the same season. 

Headed back home after 3 days.  Stopped in Fillmore again to golf.  We did soo well, we got a Senior Discount this time.  Funny, if we remember to ask, we usually get one.



Great trip.  Til next year!

Bank of America Golf Tournament - Part 2

 Friday we headed over at the same time.  I have hurt my knee so I have this brace on it.  I was a bit worried I couldn't walk but this brace helped.  Started out with breakfast and a shuttle to the 18th hole.  We are professionals now so we know where to go.  




Leaderboard that was on our hole.  It was fun to watch the board change.  I thought everyone had one on their hole.  Nope, we did because I think we were the last hole.



This is Max Homa.  He is one of the more prominant PGA players that showed up for the tournament.  He is also one of Mark's favorite players.  




Tony Finau was also a prominant player.  He is from Rose Park, just down the street from my house.  He hit a drive on our hole, that went ot into the lava rocks, then bounced back in the fairway.  THEN his second shot, we heard this loud noise from the gallery.  He hit is second shot and hit the roof of the gallery right behind us and bounced somewhere behind it.  This photo is the relief he got from his wild shot.  I was that close to him.  He was deciding what to do.  He did have a really great line to the green from there.

Tony on the green

He ended up taking two putts.  I thought for sure he would have a double bogie or more.  Nope he took a par.  He didn't make the cut or Saturday play however.  He finished -2 and you needed -5 to stay for the weekend.

Here's his wife doing her social media thing at the tournaments.  I don't think his kids go to school

If you look closely, you can see a ball stuc in or chair thing.  Sandra and I took our stuff and moved out of the way and let the Rules official decide the call.  It was just a drop a club length away.



We ended up going to Culver's on or way home and then we went to the hot tub to rest or aching bones.  We are old.  Great day.
