RBC Golf Tourney

My department had a golf tournament this past week. Thanks to a co-worker, who has a 6 handicap, our team won. Here's just a glimpse at his skills...this was his drive!!!


Bowling

For those of you who don't know...bowling is happening...it's incredibly cool. Or, at least, that's what we tell ourselves. Just for kicks, we joined a bowling league (yes, that's right, a league!) with Emily and Chad. Quite the scene...80's jeans, some wrist gaurds, fashionably chic uniforms, denim shoes (those are mine courtesy of Max!), what am I missing Schulze?!?!...you get the picture.

Here is a pic of Andy. I wanted to capture his approach (a cute little skip), but missed it.

And, Emily is very upset that competitive Tara cirlced her handicap and tried to calculate her score to see where she ended up in the standings.

Saturday at the Dog Park

Andy and Gracie at the Elm Creek dog park. This is Gracie's favorite place to go. She knows the route and starts whimpering about half way there. Too cute :)


Hangin' with the Lil' Guys

Sarah and Maxwell

Ivo and Charlie (or as Andy calls him...Chuckles)


Wedding Weekend Two

Last weekend we attended a wedding of our Villard friends Jim and Amanda. Here are some pics of our nephews playing games at the reception.

Lee driving the race car.

Myles on his fifth "pink drink". No wonder he didn't want to go to bed!

Habitat for Humanity

What's not safe? Tara and power tools. Regardless, they let me loose with them (not even sure of the proper terminology). Several co-workers and I volunteered at the Habitat for Humanity site build on Monday. I spent the day building stairs, which is much harder than it seems. We had a fantastic time and enjoyed being able to do something so rewarding. I wish I had the pictures from the site (hard hats, reflective vest, etc.). Unfortunately, this one will have to do.

Carlos Creek Grape Stomp

Karin, Andy and I hit up the Carlos Creek Grape Stomp last weekend while we were up North. We had a great time! The best part? Andy getting hit on...by a man!


The First of Several Wedding Weekends

Last weekend we attended the wedding of the Dziegel's family friend, Kassie Skurat. Here are some pics from the evening...

The whole clan: Sean (Amber's fiance), Amber, Mike, Janelle (David's wife), David, me and Andy.
The siblings.

The "old" softball team!
Andy (Mr. Serious) and I.


And who would have thought, at a Villard wedding, I would run into one of my former interns!

Back at the Dziengel pad, Andy snapped a few pics of the dogs. Lucky is the newest addition to the lab family.



Labor Day

Over Labor Day weekend, we had the pleasure of having our friends over and shared some food, adult beverages and lots of laughs. The little ones were quite the entertainment.

Wesley and Reese making s'mores.
Krissy and baby Charlie.
Big Max!
Lexi giving Lily kisses :)
