Our Sunday

Sunday was a whole new day of fun.  We began the day at church, and the three Kuhlman boys were looking nice!  There were a lot of people in the service, and communion ran a little long . . . so we took a few pics!
We went for a yummy brunch after church, and Daddy had a funny exchange with another diner.  A man stopped Daddy on the way to our table and commented that he recognized us from church earlier.  Daddy's response, "I hope we weren't memorable in a bad way!"  He responded that he had a chuckle at Daddy and Beau taking communion and that Beau had an aversion to being told what to do.  No surprise there!!!  He also commented that we seemed like a sweet family, so thanks for that!!    After we got cleaned up, Mommy ran a few errands while the boys played and Daddy got in to the new NFL season.  Just about the time the Cowboys game began, Mommy and the boys headed to the pool.  Sometimes the team can be extremely frustrating, and Daddy gets really (REALLY!!) frustrated.  Nana met us there and swam with Beau, and Lincoln and Mommy worked on his different swim strokes.  He jumped off the starting block and had to pick a swim stroke to practice on.  He did great, and it is so cool to see that he really does well with each different technique.  All of those lessons really do pay off!  Lincoln's favorite part of our swim was definitely that he got Mommy soaked!  Daddy texted that the Cowboys were beyond ridiculous after just the first quarter of this first game, and he was coming to the club to play golf!!  That sounds like a great plan because probably more people have a heart attack screaming at the tv when their team sucks than when playing a nice round of golf on a peaceful Sunday late afternoon.  After Daddy finished the first 9, we were kind of done at the pool.  We grabbed Lincoln's clubs from the car and joined him on the back 9.  The Kuhlman boys all wanted to ride together . . . sad for a Mommy to ride alone but great photo!  Cutest golf cart pic ever! 
When we pulled up to 12, Beau looked back at Mommy alone in the cart and asked if he could switch.  Sure!!!!  So sweet to keep Mommy company.  It wasn't long before his true motive became clear.  This was the spot that he got to do "donuts" at the last time we came out with Daddy and Lincoln.  He didn't feel sorry for Mommy; he just knew he could ask to do donuts again.  So donuts we did, and he loved it!!! 
Lincoln got to play from the Children's Tees (how cool is it that our club has Children's Tees?!?!) and did great when he was paying attention.  I mean, it's been a super busy weekend and one can't be on their best game with surprise golf at 5:30 on a Sunday night.  The practice did serve him well, and he will just keep getting better.  He almost made par on one hole! 
Beau and Mommy selfie!  Even after the donut hole (get it?????), he chose to stay with Mommy.  We are great golf cart partners. 
This quote spoke to me today:
"To hear the laughter of a child
To wake up to the love of your life
To know that God has placed them on this Earth for you . . .
You are blessed."
In this crazy busy season of life, the best moments are those that are often unplanned and unrushed . . . just enjoying this blessed life of being together.  We spent so much time with Nana and Pops this weekend which was also a blessing, and we have plans to spend this next weekend with Minnie and Bubbles which is also a blessing.  We are loved, and we love, and that's the best!
