HER ROYAL HIGHNESS

THE DADDY DAUGHTER GOLF BALL was held here in March, in conjunction with the TPC. The event was at the Hyatt Riverfront and was a very enchanted evening for KGB and her dad. She talked about it for two months leading up to it, and is still talking about it two months later. She said "Mommy, daddy twirled me three times!" I'm sure dad had a good time too. Apparently they danced all night. I'm sure that she was the prettiest princess there... I'm sure the place was full of pretty princesses. It's nice to see dads do something with the little girls like this. DB and LBB do flag football, scouts, outside stuff, etc., but KGB got a little one-on-one that night. I can remember, when I was a little girl, thinking that my dad could do anything. I will never forget when he told me that he could't throw a rock over a skyscraper. That blew my mind. Even more than when I found out about Santa, Easter Bunny, and those guys. I just knew he could if he really tried.
Still, for now, KGB's dad is up on a pedestal, and is certainly Prince Charming.

I THINK MY LITTLE BOY GREW 4" TALLER THIS WEEKEND....That's my boy, with both feet off the ground!
Friday night: Dad took LB to meet Mark Brunell and get his autograph. Mark is a professional football QB who used to play for the Jacksonville Jags, who is a great Christian guy, and made himself available on Friday night for meet & greet. LB got an autographed poster and had his Bruenll #8 Jersey signed.
Saturday morning: LB intercepts a pass at his flag football game. AWESOME!!!!!!!! Gets a medal for that one!
Saturday afternoon: Right after the game, Dad takes him down to Jags spring practice. There he meets and gets autographs from about 20 pro players and one player even asked him to hold his helmet for him while he signed LB's football. This is good stuff ya'll!! How 'bout that dad of his, by the way??? And you just thought his MOM was cool!
Later that day: Gets his 1st summer job (EVER). Mr Roy across the street said LB could mow his lawn this summer. He is so excited he can hardly stand it. We spent the rest of the day with very good friends swimming and cooking ribs on the grill. It's great to live in Florida:)
Sunday morning: Even after everything wonderful that has happened to my little boy up to this point, he still sits next to me in church and rubs my hand. He is soooooo sweet.
Sunday after church: He goes fishing with his big brother, RB. RB will be 24 on Saturday and he's pretty important to his little brother and sister. They were going to go deep sea fishing but the water was too rough so they stayed inland on the river mouth around the jettys. He caught some big fish. Apparently they had to let them go because they were too big??? I don't understand that one.
Sunday night: LB and his brother get home and we are cooking out (again) and swimming. He has some chicken and goes right to bed. He looked very, very tired. He also looked a little older, a little taller, and a little bit like the very special young man I know he will very soon be.
