Birthday Golf

Last weekend we had a combined birthday celebration for Dad and Jack. 

We met Mom and Dad and the new Florida residents, Jake and Meredith for dinner.

Jack chose Texas Roadhouse so he could sit on the saddle. He was so excited!

Dad and Jack opened presents. Jack got two awesome Lego sets he was super happy! 

We had planned to go miniature golfing after dinner for Jack and he was excited for it but after opening the Legos he just wanted to go home. We reminded him he could build anytime but how often do you go miniature golfing.

 

We hit Fantasia Gardens which is a Disney miniature golf course.

 I am and always have been a horrible golfer but I had the best time watching everybody. 

Jack was so good getting several holes in one. He came in second with Jake first place.

I had been at the beach all day with the youth so by the time we got in the car after hitting all 18 holes I was spent but so very happy. It was my kind of party and it was fun celebrating Jack!

At the closing of Summer.

Summer has come to an end and it is officially Fall with the days not as hot. It was a wonderful Summer and to celebrate we capped off the Summer with a trip to Disney and to the beach.

Trying to get Jack's cute facial expressions on the Winnie the Pooh ride. However Jack is not even in the picture but I love Jason's photo bomb face.

Labor day we hit our favorite beach of all time, Siesta Key.

It is sad to see the lazy days of Summer go but nice to have the heat dissipate. 

We have land!

Big news!

We are building a house!

We have been looking at houses ever since we moved. We knew that we wanted to build. Jason doesn't have the time to really fix up a house and I do not have the energy. Plus new is always better for my health, allergies and so on.  While we were in Utah Jason went on overdrive checking out potential locations and houses. After we got home Jason took me to some model homes just five minutes away from where we live now. We walked into this one model home and I fell in love with the floor plan. Jason loved it too and there was a superhero room so Jack was sold.

Mom and Dad have come out several times to help us with the decision. It was great to have them to ask questions that we wouldn't have thought of. Plus it was fun hearing dad talk about all the things we could do design wise to enhance the house. Dad also was good at checking out everything! 

We got to pick out our lot. We are the first one in on our block so we had free range with our color choice and elevation. Plus we are right across from the pool.

Moments after we signed all our papers.

After signing all our papers we headed to celebrate the Mormon way(as my dad put it) over milkshakes.

This last week we got to go to the design center and pick everything out. It was so much fun.

 

Jason and I celebrated all our choices over frozen yogurt.

  It's been a dream. I go to bed thinking about the house and our future in it.

It's something to know that we will own land in Florida.
