99 Balloons Golf Tournament for TEAMWorks! :)

Privyet! (My version of hello in Russian) actually, when I say it sounds more like "Preeeveeyet y'all"

We are in the throws of planning and preparing for two groups to travel to Guatemala in September, and Ukraine in October.  Ukraine in October, is kinda like Paris in fall, right? :)  I will be a happy traveler on the Ukraine trip.  Ukraine is where the heart is.

Keep TEAMWorks mission and plans in your prayers.  More on that later.

Back to the golf tournament.
It was a SUCCESS.  I had reasonable hopes for the amount of money we would raise.  But God sure multiplies and exceeds my expectations.  We had a very hot, but fun day!  And so many people came, gave their time, played golf...and worked together to raise money for children around the world.

registration ladies!

some golfers i love.  my bro and cousin. 

 silent auction!

it's a hard job sitting at hole 6 watching for someone to make a hole in 1.  
it got easier with the delivery of peanut butter crackers and diet cokes.  

 bryan and adam out and about on the golf cart delivering the crackers and coke.

random summer pictures..

i am loving mornings at Mama Carmen's this summer.  i am so productive with a almond latte and a corner table!  and i apparently like to take pictures of my coffee before i drink it...
  
the hats of summer 2011...i have gotten my money out of these $12 purchases!
 looking at plants in front of my house, instead of weeds....the butterflies aren't bad either, and now that we have had rain this week, they are doing even better! 
 desserts, really into desserts...but really, this is a year round thing.  
my new keurig with all of it's fanciness...and gloria jean's hazelnut coffee brewing in it...
TEAMWorks Ukraine/Guatemala plans...and fundraising golf tournament....it's not too late to sign up!  

loving time with my sweet girl, getting her nails painted at the glitter box.  she was so good, and sat very still while they were painted and dried.  love her soooooo much.  
summer concert...George Jones...it was funny stuff, brings an interesting crowd.  
i can't help that my dad raised me listening to old country music....
and if you're at a george jones concert...you eat chicken wings...
fun summer night!


 afternoons at the lake, or as we joke, the redneck yacht club.  :)

Happy summer!
