Golf Getaway!

Jaysen left Thursday afternoon for his much anticipated golf trip with his cousins and a couple of friends. There were six of them that went. They went all the way down to St. George where it was warm so they could still play in the middle of winter. Lucky ducks!

Here are the Burnham's...Odell, Byron, Elmer, and Jaysen. Friday morning was their first game and Jaysen said it was a pretty gloomy day. Only 40 degrees and looking like rain. He said they "braved it" anyway. Such courage they had!
This is Jaysen's long time friend Patrick. No, he's not tons older than Jaysen...he's just going gray early. But let's not talk about gray hair here. Sore subject.
Day two was just beautiful he said. Look at the blue skies and green grass. I am very jealous. He's wearing a short sleeved shirt!
This was such a pretty course. The pictures of it are amazing. All in all, I think he had a pretty good time. He better have anyway! It was a long three days for me without him. He was definitely missed.

Family Fun Night!

Jaysen wanted to take the kids out golfing on Monday night for Family Home Evening, but the weather was not really cooperating with us. So, we decided to go tonight instead. Mackenzee has never been to the golf course before, so this was her maiden voyage.

She used Landon's old putter (it's the only club left that he didn't break) and Jaysen showed her how to play the game. She enjoyed herself thoroughly.

Landon still has a great swing. Well, at least for as often as he actually goes out to golf. Which isn't enough unfortunately.

And then afterwards we went over to Jaysen's parents house to visit. They have a little pumpkin patch in their backyard, and so they let the kids each pick out a pumpkin to take home.

Mackenzee is now in love with the orange ball. She is carrying it all over my house. I'm waiting for her to drop it and have it shatter pumpkin guts and seeds all over my house. Sigh.

Gotta love fall!
