golf

Here they are: McNary 408, WS 421
Kate 98
Julia 101
Kayla 101
Kristin 108
Kaci 113

WE played well. Your sister said that she didn't play well because she was worried about losing her #2 spot. WEll, she didn't.

Not much happened today since I was at the course all afternoon. The puppies are good, watching me write this and waiting for my clan chowder bowl.

Your dad got to watch Kristin for a little while. There are alot of people who say that you two act the same on the course. Today, Kristin did look like you.

Your dad is still talking about the Nike Outlet Store. He will check to see how late it's open. If Dylan can get here earlier on Thursday, we might be able to go then.

HOpe you did have a good day in the sun. It got cold here at about 4pm, so the back side was cold.

Talk to you later.

Had a decent day at golf. Shot a 90 with two triples on the back, 11 and 14. Stupid shots. My irons are getting better. Tell Dylan I will be ready to be his partner and beat you and your dad in a best ball rematch. Your sister didn't play with us. She was up until 11 last night and wanted to go to the driving range instead (read between the lines).

WE have a tee time at Juniper on may 26th. WE will drive over in the morning and come back in the evening. With the gas prices the way they are, it is too expensive to take the motorhome over. That's what we did yesterday and it wourked out great. WE play at 12:03 and 12:12. You get to play with your sister. She will have more fun with you and Dylan. Make sure to get that day off. If you work Sunday morning, we can go and play somewhere in the afternoon, or you and Dylan can. Your dad might try to get into the Nike Employee Store on your birthday. He needs to see how late it is open, since we have school That would be a nice birthday gift, huh? We can still take you to Rice Time if we have the time. You might have to make a decesion on that one.

I'm sitting on pins and needles to see what our grade is on the paper. I hope you did well.

Where does Jeremy live? Does he live at Bengal Creek too?

Sounds like you had fun last night. What time did you get up this morning? How many classes do you really have to go to this week? Did you get any packing done?

Have a nice evening and a good dinner.

Talk to you soon, if you have the time.

Love,

US

Beautiful Day

Wish you were here.

WE had a nice day today. It ended up to be about 77 degrees take or give a couple degrees. Golf course is in great shape. I kept thinking about how Dylan and Katie would like this course. It is challenging but fun. You can't let it get to you.

WE left at 7:30 this morning and had breakfast at the golf course. Then, we came home.

I did hurt my wrist a bit. I hit a ball and hit a rock that was under the grass. It feels like I jamed it a bit, but that won't stop me from playing tomorrow morning.

The weather is not suppose to be quite as nice tomorrow, but the rain is suppose to hold off until Tuesday. I hope so. It would be nice to have our last match in the sun.

Did I tell you how good dinner at Rice Time was? I told your dad you wanted to go there for your birthday dinner and he said OK.

Thanks for the update on the boys. I hope they do well tomorrow.

Sounds like you will have some human interaction tomorrow with Ally. That's good. You need a break from studying. Did you do any coloring? More pictures of puppy dogs? Speaking of puppies, Lexi is now 5 and Maddie is 4. They had B-days last week. My, they are growing up.

HOpe you had fun tonight all dressed up. HOpe you got a good dinner out of the deal. What did you have to do?

Dad is speechless.

Puppies are having alot of fun in your room. They are actually sleeping up there in the evening.

Just bought three songs on itunes from Earth, Wind & Fire. If you want them you can have them when you get home. Marlo and I are really bored so we are doing random stuff.

Kristin is at home doing absolutly nothing. she was suppose to vacuum before I go home.

Saw Mrs Biamont at our PE meeting this morning. She wants you to stop by when you get home. I don't why she has so many nice things to say about you. I thought you siad that you didn't brown nose.

Did I mention that we are going to Rice Time tonight? If I didn't, that's where we are going. I might be losing my mind but I won't forget that we are going to Rice Time after your dad's baseball game is over.

Tomorrow we are taking Fitz to Juniper. I think we are leaving at around 8am for a 12:12 tee time. It is suppose to be in the upper 70's. Your tan will never catch up to me. Sorry.

Only 6 more weeks of school. I think I will make it. When it is sunny in the mornings (like this morning) it is easy to get here. Just put on a little Rascal Flats and drive. Wow.

Your dad is really looking forward to coming and picking you up. he did actually at one time be a good bowler. I think you will have fun. I bet you will elave very early on sunday morning so that he can get back to work, like 5am. You better warn Dylan about that.

Rice Time is that much closer. Have a good dinner at Turner tonight.

Have a nice time this weekend and get alot done.

Team scramble, just the girls today. It was nice weather and the girls had fun. W3e had two threesoms and one foursome. Kayla M., Julia, and Abby shot two over. NOt too bad. Julia is playing well right now.

Your sister's lesson went well yesterday. Jim was shocked at how well she was hitting the ball. He is now ready for you and is excited about working with you. He actually showed moe excitement yesterday about Kristin's lesson.

No school tomorrow. WE meet with the middle school PE people to compare notes and do grades in the afternoon, but guress what? I'm done with my grades. i might actually clean my office area a little bit.

After Kristin hits golf balls, we are going up to your dad's then he is taking us to Rice Time. Maybe, just maybe, when Dylan is here we can go over there. WE will have to see.

I think Larry is ready for you to come back to work. It's like he has May 15 circled because you are working and you will do things without him having to tell you what to do.

OUt in the sun today and gained on my tan. Your sister has a glove tan and a shoe tan. WE are leaving you in the DUST.

Talk to you later.

If you were home, you would probably get something. Maybe this summer we will splurge for things.

I got all of my grading done. I hate grading those fitness plans. there were a few good ones, but not many.

I got observed today during my women's Weight Class. That was easy.

We have practice this afternoon, then I run Kristin up to Woodburn for her lesson. I will talk to Jim today, set up a time for you, and let you know what it is.

They plugged the greens at McNary on Monday so today we are going to chip for one hour. that will be ok. Tomorrow, we are going to play a scramble just to get out there and practice on the greens a little. We play West on Monday there.

Friday, we are meeting with Whitaker's PE dept for our morning time. that's right, Kristin doesn't have school on Friday. She is going to sleep in if the puppies will allow her. I bet she ends up downstairs. They will sleep with her then.

If I get your paper to you, it will be later this evening. I have to meet my MAT student at 6:30 here at school. I will try. american idol is on. it's two hours tonight, so I'll kick your dad into the bedroom.

Have a nice time and don't be a loaner while dylan is away.

DAD'S HOME

Can you guess what your Dad got me at the Nike Outlet Store? First two guesses don't count.

The tan on the face is looking mighty good. Are you shaking in your shorts in fear that I'm going to win the tan war?

Your sister got a pair of running shoes that have blue in them.

Now that your dad found wireless here at home, I get the computer more, like right now.

Had practice at the driving range today. Everybody is hitting the ball better. They think that we are going to beat Sprague at distirct. I sure hope so. As long as nobody goes nuts because they have one bad hole, we could pull the upset. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Only two more days of school this week.

Your sister is in the kitchen doing make up for culinary arts. We are having a cheese roll up and some crescents. Should be interesting.

Hope you have a nice evening.

We had the best team score of the season, a 420. Julia-99, Kristin 101 (with two bonehead holes on the back and a birdie on the back), Kate 106, Kayla 113 and Kaci 131. Our #5 is not going to help us this season. WE beat South and now all we have in duals is West. Hopefully, we can beat them too. Weather was great.

Nice talking to you today. HOpe you are feeling better.

Your dad din't get to play golf today. He was in sessions all day. Poor guy.

No school on Friday. 12 week grading.

That's about it for today. I'm tired and am going to bed soon.

The puppies are cleaning my dishes from dinner.

Have a good day tomorrow.

Mom

Paddingtons

Guess what your sister and I had for dinner? That's right, and it was good.

Your sister had Larry rolling on the floor with laughter today after the tournament. When she bends down with her rain pants on, she makes a farting sound. Larry thought it was really funny and made her do it over and over. Fitz was egging her on also.

Glad you played well today. As I told you earlier, your dad was proud of you.

Tomorrow Creekside-67 degrees. I might have to pull out the golf sandals. I won't play but walking will do me good.

Your dad said that he didn't play really well today. Right now he is at opening ceremonies for that conference. He really has alot of fun there. I would never make him stay home from that. He would be unbearable to live with.

I'm trying to get the puppies to remember you. I might have to let them up in your room so they remember what you smell like. Maddie might even leave you a gift. I haven't decided yet.

HOpe you are feeling better. Have a good week. What are you going to do with the boys gone at the end of the week?

Mom

Bummer

If you read your e-mail, you know that as of this afternoon, I cannot look at your blog at school. Maybe by next week it will be different.

Had a tanning day. I'm starting to pull away from you. I'm glad you look tan though.

Your dad is in Sunriver. Played the course at Black Butte and shot an 81. He is a happy camper. He e-mailed me and told me that he found wireless.

Your sister and I played 18. On the back nine Grant Kessel and his dad joined us. It was amazing how much better Kristin's attitude and golf game got when he arrived. She was kind of giddy. I didn't know that they have catering together. They were ripping each other all the way around the course.

I don't know if Nick did the dirty deed today. Jeremy was working.

Have a nice weekend. HOpe you got some of that homework done today. Let me know when you know for sure when your tee time is on Sunday.

Only three more weeks. You are going to get bored fast here. I think after two weeks you will be ready to go back (or when you get tired of eating my cooking).

Mom

Nice Day

Turned out to be a nice day today. The girls played (if you want to call it that). Julia didn't play, just practiced because she had to stay after school. Kate was low with a 56. Kaci Linton will play #5. She shot a 67. She is getting better. Poor Rachel shot a 73 today. I'm not sure who I will take as #5 to district. I might take Rachel and Kaci. I will see how the next two weeks pan out.

Kristin and I are going to play tomorrow after school. I will take her out to dinner after that. She wants to go to MiNa's. If she doesn't cop too much of an attitude, I will take her there.

Your dad leaves tomorrow morning for a few days. He is playing Black Butte, Eagle Ridge and a course at Sunriver. He will be home on Tuesday.

I have a picture on my computer of Kristin and Julia that Mr. Sanford took. Cleary thought it was you. I guess you tow look alike. I really don't see it too much. You are so much fairer than she is.

I'm ready to compare tans when you get home. WE are taking Kristin over to Juniper next weekend and it is supose to be 74. YOu know what high altitude does to the sun. Bring it on, baby.

Did you get the classes that you wanted? I would love to be a fly on the wall during that bowling class next fall. That could be scary.

Hope your family dinner was good tonight if you had one.

Only three more weeks.

rain, sun, rain, sun

What will come next? Who knows. I do know that I'm getting tired of this. I'm ready for some sunshine.

driving range went well today. Everyone is really improving. I'm hoping it shows on the course soon.

I'm sitting at my desk at school waiting for my MAT student. this is the last time we meet, so I don't have to wory about this any more.

do you realize that I only have 4 more years until I can retire. That is pretty exciting to think about. Kristin will be in college, who knows what you will be doing, and your dad will still be at work. What will I do with all of my time. I'm sure I will figure something out.

Tomorrow, the girls qualify again for Monday. They are playing at Creekside again. Let's see if they learned anything from the last time we were there. That might be our lst one. I'm going to pick the district team. the only thing I'm not sure about is #5, Rachel or Kaci. We will see how they play tomorrow and Monday. It's hard to believe that we only have two more district matches then head to Redmond for district. That will be an interesting two days. Some teams are really going to struggle with the course.

We have out big tournament on sunday. Kristin is playing with Fitz, Bill and Jim McKillop. I think she will keep them entertained. I hope so.

The first picture of the tree without Katie. Look how tall the tree is.
The three lovely ladies.

Hope your day went well. We played golf today. Kristin and I didn't play very well. At least it wasn't raining and I could wear my golf sandals. Kristin had to buy drink at the turn from her last par last week. Your dad had to buy today. He burdied 8 from off the green, under a tree. He was excited until I said "nice birdee". Oops.

Fitz is going to play with Kristin next Sunday at our tournament. She is also going to ask Bill Sanford and Jim McKillop. HOpefully the weather will hold. Doesn't look good right now, but things can change.

When we came home Kristin mowed the lawn and cleaned her room. It was quite a mess. She wouldn't let me go up there. I still haven't gone up there, but I will tonight.

Lum Yuen for dinner togin=ght, your dad's choice. I about fell off my chair when I heard that. Should be good. Going to order when I get done doing this.

HOpe you had a great day today. PLease if nothing else, have fun. Just remember, not everyone gets to go to conference as a freshman. I'm not worried about you at all.

Love Us.

Things

Kate and your sister played real well at Lewis River.
Your dad getting pumped before the prom tonight.

This Morning

Was at the Courthouse by 7am. Had nine people swim today, one being your sister. She swam a mile. Kraig Massee showed up and swam 100 lenghts. At teh pool we made about $1200. Not bad for 9 people.

Shopping

Your grandmother gave your sister a $10 coupon and $40.00 to spend at Macy's today, so we did that after I dropped things off at South High School. She ended up buying a necklace and earrings. Couldn't find any clothes that she really liked.

Rest of the day

Came home and ate lunch. AS you can tell by your dad's picture, he is doing his usual Sat. thing.
He is going to Jonathon's for dinner then the lovely prom. He is so excited.

TOMORROW

Tomorrow morning we are playing like usual. Your sister is playing too. She wants to be ready for Monday. I think you will really be surprised to see how she plays golf. She can hit with the best of them except probably Ashley.

Hope you had a great flight. Still looks like you are going to have great weather. You are a good friend to Ally to take care of her. Nice job.

Oops, I have to go and fold underwear.

Talk to you later.

MOM

I read your sister's blog, so I won't repeat what she said. dinner will be good tonight.

Tomorrow, I have to sit at the Courthouse for 3 hours watching and monitoring a swim-a-thon for the Salvation Army Croc center. If we make enough money in the city, there will be a real nice pool there to use for swim team and the community.

tomorrow night is your dad's favorite night, PROM. He can hardly wait. Kristin and I will be on our own for dinner. Maybe Mongolian Grill, I don't know. We will see. I don't feel bad not having you there since you will be in warm weather by then.

Monday, we play North at McNary and Tuesday we are going to a little tournament at Illahee. It will be fun to see how your sister plays there.

Have a fun night tonight. Hope you smiled pretty for the picture and had a good practice. I'm sure you figured out your irons.

Mom

The big week is over. This was the only week with so many golf tournaments. Today was cool and breezy, but not much rain. You already know what your sister shot. She did a great job coming back. She played with a girl who has a good chance at winning state this year as a sophomore. She is from LO. The rest of the scores: Kate-109 with two 10's. Kayla DQ'ed because she signed a wrong score card. She said that she got a 5 instead of a 6 on 18. I had talked to her dad before she turned in her card. Rachel-125, Kaci Linton-122. We got 4th, would have been third because Kayla had shot a 104. Oh well, better now than at district. I got my point across today.

Suppose to rain a ton tomorrow. At least we won't have practice. WE are going out to dinner with your grand parents.

Saw Brianne Smith's mom today at Canby and she said hi. Yesterday in the pro shop when you were talking to me Nick was talking to Greg McDonald. He said hi too.

I'm sure you will pull the new golfer out of her shell. You were probably quiet too when you talked to ally and jen. Could the girl be the fourth in your room? Would you want to go that far? Just a thought.

Say hi to Dylan, and have a nice day tomorrow. Don't get use to your classes being cancelled. What are we paying the big bucks for?

Mom

PISSED

It took me 15 min. to get on this. I almost threw the computer against the wall.

We are getting ready to go and qualify. I don't think it's going to rain much.

Tonight, your sister and dad are going to dinner with your grandparents. I have my last methods class tonight. My loss. On Friday night, we are taking them out to Italian Food in Keizer. That will be fun.

I will tell Kristin to blog tonight.

HOw did the golf go today? Who did you play with? It looks like you will only have one bad day of weather.

Your sister is playing #1 tomorrow. She plays Aloha#1 and Marshfield #3. do you think she will break a 100 on that course? She might be able to. I'll let you know tomorrow how she did.

Great job on the bowling. You might have to challange your dad. He used to be in a bowling league. That would be a kick to watch.

Talk to you soon. Only 4 more days until you return to the warmth of Az.

MOM

GOLF

I have a bunch of golf info if you haven't received it yet.

Lewis River: cool with showers. While your sister was on 18 it started to hail.

Scores:Julis-didnt' play was pucking her guts out at home, Kristin-99, Kate-105, Kayla-109, Rachel 125. We finished 8th out of 16 teams. Not too bad. Of course the best part was Burgerville afterward.

Have you seen the scores from your teammates today? Brit-74, Bri-81, Hannah-83, Ali-88, Sami-84. You guys gained some strokes on Montana. Go and get them next week.

Tomorrow we are qualifying for the next three varsity tournaments.

Thursday, we are going to Willamette Valley to visit Canby. That will be a test.

Not much going on here. If you hear any gossip, you know where to reach me.

MOM

Blustery day

Wow. It was like Pocatello today on the golf course. 16mph winds and rain on and off. Luckly, the bad rain held off until your sister was on 18. Sprague beat us by 24 strokes. We were even after 9 but then we folded. Your sister went 50-57. Julia shot a 100, Kayla and Kate 114 and rachel a 119. WE are still getting better. I have not given up yet.

Tomorrow, we go to Lewis River. It's suppose to be showers in the morning and partly cloudy and 59 in the afternoon.

I hope you are not getting sick. Take it easy. I know you did todaywithout having any classes.

Mom

Easter

Thanks for the cute Easter cards.

We played golf this morning. It was sunny for awhile. I wore my sandals and shorts until the back nine when is started to spit. I still had the shorts and sandals on, but put by 3/4 sleeve back on. WE had a nice time.

Now, we are watching teh masters, eating cheese sticks and writing this.

Tonight, we are having ham (it's in the oven), potato salad (not mine), baked beans, and cheese bread sticks.

Tomorrow, it's back to school. WE play Creekside. It will be interesting to see how it holds water and how the girls play.

I can't believe you don't have any classes tomorrow. What's the deal? Are you living right?

HOpe to talk to you soon, and hope you are having a nice day.

Rain

Woke up at about 4am to rain. It fianlly stopped around 9:30. suppose to be nice tomorrow morning before the next storm comes in tomorrow night. It is suppose to rain on Monday for the match at Creekside.

Your dad is washing the motorhome right now. We are going to costco after lunch and I'm doing laundry. What an exciting day. It would be nice if it were sunny so I could add to my tan.

Your sister is not doing much this seekend either. I guess it's better to rest after the wonderful week in Palm Springs.

Your dad has his plane reservations and room reservations to come and pick you up. I guess there is a soccer tournament and baseball tournament that weekend so you guys are staying at the Holiday Inn. It's probably nicer thatn the econolodge anyway.

PROUD

I want you to know how proud your father is of you. At breakfast club this morning, he announced that you qualified 2nd from your team to go to conference. Maghan came back and congratulated me for you. How about that, people still care about KP.

Saw Mr. Vann yesterday. He got his hair cut real short. Shorter than MR. Wilson. I didn't recognize him at first.

Beautiful day today. WE got in 18 at OGA as you know, since Kristin called you. The course was in ok shape. Some places were like packed soft mud. It was weird since we haven't had rain for a week. The greens were in good shape. WE had to wait on almost every hole but still got done in under 4 hrs.

I need to claen the house this weekend. Costco is on the books as well as changing the oil in the sub. We are playing golf on Sunday and I'm also fixing a ham for dinner that night.

Kristin is taking care of the Weiss' dog for a few days. They are going down with Marty. I guess he is going to Iraq. Kristin says that he treats his mom and did not too nice. He hasn't changed. He needs to get the crap knowcked out of him a few times.

Have a great weekend. Hope your weather holds up. WE are now supposed to get rain tomorrow.

Mom

beautiful

I'm sitting here at 2:13 listening to katie's itunes #1, thinking about being out in the sun for an hour and a half. We are going to hae contests with prizes for practice today. We will do putting, chipping, and a combo. I went and bought a bunch of easter candy to give as prizes. That will be alot of fun.

Your dad has been in an AD meeting all day, but I called him and told him that you made the team. He felt very sorry for Hannah.

We are having Octoberfest Sausage for dinner with Dylans favorite, sauerkraut. YUM!!!!!!!!!! What should we introdue the boy to when he comes to visit again. It would be fun if we could go over to Redmond to play golf.

Looks like you are going to have great weather over the weekend. We are too, so watch out for the bronze body of mine.

Keep your chin up, make good decisions, and keep me in the loop. I'm learning (and so are you) what not to do (if you catch my drift).

It's a great day to be a Bengal.

qualifying

Big day for McNary girls golf. Another day of qualifying. Three didn't need to qualify but scored, Julia 51, Kayla 53, Kristin 57 (ouch). she was kind of acting like the old KP. Kind of pouty. WE had a little chat. Kate was next with a 59 and one broken club. I saw the whole thing. The only reason she got away with it with just a scolding is because there was a person on the team last year that would hit herself and do bodily damage. (I wonder who that was?)
Rachel 62 with one double bogey pick up and Lindsay (freshman) 62 with 2 double bogey pick ups. She will be JV #1 but play 18. Kayla and Kaci were next with 68's. Amber Stahlberg 71 and freshman Abby 81. WE are really killing them. This group is really improving. If we make it to state, this is the best coaching job that I have done. Greg Miller has really helped too.

School was fine today. My freshman classes were in the classroom all day, so I actually had to teach. I'm glad I don't have to do this every day.

Your dad had track, baseball and frosh softball at his place today.

Eather wise, we are going to be really nice for the next couple of days. Tomorrow it's suppose to be 73, then when we go play OGA as a family on Friday it's suppose to be close to 80. Rain comes in next week.

Have a great evening and a good day tomorrow.

MOM

Tuesday

Your father in all of his glory. AS you can see, he was listening to his ipod. And he gives me a bad time about my ipod.

WE had fun yesterday. It was a long trip but the girls played better than at McNary before spring break.

Your sister had a breakthough today. She wanted to go to the driving range early today and hit a small bucket of balls. She paid for it with her own money. I know she is close to breaking 100. Just had some stupid holes yesterday, like a par 4 and got a 10. She was in the weeds and wifffed it. After that she took an unplayable and was all over the course. At least she followed that up with a par (par5). She is so close.

School was tough today since I didn't get to bed until after 11pm (early for you college kids). I slept until the alarm went off at 5:30. I didn't even hear your dad snore last night.

Tomorrow, the girls qualify for Monday at Creekside and Tuesday at Lewis River. Your sister doesn't have to. It will be interesting on who will be 4 and 5. Rachel is playing really well for Rachel and Kate is Kate. Iee Kaci play a little better. I think she has it in her.

Nice job today. Keep up the good playing.

You are suppose to get your package on Thursday. I guess by Pocatello time that means Saturday. Just be looking for it. It is coming UPS.

Tell Dylan nice job on his 69. Maybe you will have a run of birdies tomorrow.

Talk to you soon.

MOM

HOME SWEET HOME

See what great things happen after you leave?

We have arrived. It was a great week of sun and golf. The only thing that will be better next year is that you will be with us.

Reno was fun. I won $100 on black Jack but your dad was not so lucky. That's ok because we got a free dinner with our points and the weather was nice.

Congrats on your score today. You are out of your slump.

When we got home the puppies were realy excited to see us. WE were excited to see them too.

As you know, tomorrow we go to Redmond to play the new Juniper. Your sister is really excited. WE will have a nice bus ride over and I think the weather will be decent. WE are not very good, but we will look good. Julia's dad was going to pick up our team shirts and hats. So. at least we will look like a team.

I will call you tomorrow nigh with the results of the match. I hope your sister beats Julai and becomes the #1. She is really starting to hit the ball. Just a little inconsistant.

Talk to you soon.
