Our life ...right now.

Well as many of you know we have been very busy.

We returned from a very important meeting and golf tournament this past monday. Things went very well. Now Matt will have more on his plate, but we are thankful for the new challenges and blessings coming our way.

We are now enjoying a very rare summer weekend off. No Tourney...No Meetings....Nothing. And of course Cami and I both have ear infections. Luckily neither of us is feeling too bad. We are however laying low. This is fine with Matt as he doesn't get to spend much time 'do nothing' at home this time of year.

We are gearing up for a few more busy weeks. Next weekend, SCAGA is hosting the Mid-Am Championship. After this championship, we only have 2 more events on the Amateur schedule (not including qualifiers). On Sept. 1st Matt will be competing in the Mid-Am Qualifier. We are really hoping and praying that he qualifies and we all get to go to NY. I will do my best to keep everyone posted on the qualifier.

That's whats going on with us

Congrats to Matt

Just thought everyone should know....

Matt has been picked to represent NM at the USGA State Team Championship. This will be his 3rd State Team appearance in a row and his 13th USGA championship. We are very excited. This is an event that we look forward to every year. For those of you who don't know, every two years the USGA holds this event. Each state sends its top 3 players (excluding collegiate athletes) and the states compete against each other. Last year we went to St. Louis for the event. I don't think Cami and I will be going this year.

The event is Sept 14-16th. Matt and the rest of the team will be heading to Santa Rosa, CA soon. You should be able to follow the event. Go to USGA.org and you should be able to follow the links from their to the State Team website.

Past couple of Weeks

Hey everyone. Sorry my posts have been so sporadic. July was a whirlwind. Cami and I traveled to KS to see our Family. We were there the 4th thru the 12th. We had a wonderful time (aside from missing Daddy of Course). Cami enjoyed her cousins, rode on the golf cart and tractor, swam at the Holton Pool, and of course got spoiled by her grandma and papa. I am hoping to find the pictures I took while we were there?!?

After we returned from KS, we left the next day to help Matt with the NMWT Amateur. We drove down to El Paso. Luckily we were able to stay with my mom and dad. I know...from one grandparents house to the next! Cami was really spoiled this 2 weeks! :) The tournament went well. Thanks so much to my mom and dad for helping us out with Cami so that I could be at the event helping out.

After that we had the Junior America's Cup. This is a very prestigious Junior Golf Event. We at the SCAGA/SCPGA hosted this year. It is a huge undertaking. It may have been the busiest and most exhausting week of our year....maybe even our life. Cami was a trooper. Her and I spent a lot of time at the golf course (10 hours straight one day) and in the car transporting players. She never had a fit or fussed once. It was truly remarkable that our 15 1/2 month old can be so well behaved. We were so proud of her. Besides that she was entertaining captains and playing with some of the players. After 5 long days, we were glad to see that event come to an end. Matt was able to take the next few days off and spend with us at home. One of the things we did was go to the zoo.

Here are a few pictures from our adventure to the Zoo.

Mommy and Cami in front of the big cats exhibit. I believe there was a huge snow leopard pacing back and forth. Not sure if we caught it in the shot.
She missed Daddy so much during the JAC, she was really loving on him this day!

Elephant exhibit.


Elephants are Matt's favorite exhibit at our zoo, luckily they were out showing off today.














At the Zoo. Cami was much more interested in checking out the Giraffe than smiling for mommy.







Overall we had a great weekend after our crazy busy week.
Now as August is already upon us, we have a couple more very busy weeks ahead. Matt is playing in a local event at UNM this weekend. Sunday- Monday is the Players Championship. Then next weekend we are off to Truth or Consequences for the Challenge Cup and a very important board meeting.
