the masters...

the masters... also known as chris' favorite golf tournament of the year. the weeks leading up to the actual tournament chris gets excited and basically giddy everytime he hears the theme song on the commercials or he sees the famous green jackets.  this year was especially exciting as it was the first time in a couple years he didn't have to study for any test the whole weekend and we didn't make any big plans so he could watch the whole weekend.  he was also excited to share the experience with daniel...

they watched live feed together on our computer for a while on saturday until the tournament started showing on tv.  as you can tell daniel was very focused on the screen (like his daddy). i believe it is because the computer screen is bright and colorful... chris thinks he has a future famous golfer sitting on his lap... haha 

i am not much of a golfer myself (i'm pretty good at miniature golf but thats about it)  but i have gotten to know the sport more just from spending time with chris watching a few tournaments here and there.  chris' dream is to one day go to the masters with some buddies of his and spend the whole weekend eating food and watching good golf at the amazing Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia.  after watching the tournament for 3 days you can't help but get involved... even my mom was anxious to see who would win.  

chris and i can't help but make games or bet over everything and as per usual we picked different winners... i felt that Louis oosthuizen should have won since he had the amazing and historical double eagle on hole 2... and someone who makes a historical shot should win... chris was going for Bubba watson because he had never won a major tournament before and he really likes his pink driver (wishes he had one himself).  when it finally happened and bubba made the amazing 40 yard hook shot from the pine straw and then the putt right after... it was fascinating to see what kind of winner he was... a big blubber baby.. kinda like this

it actually made me like him so much more... he was so touched and overwhelmed and excited that he won he just bawled like a baby and every time he got interviewed he bawled... he was overwhelmed with emotion since he had just adopted his son two weeks before which was life changing and then he won the masters which was also life changing... and he just cried .. and really it looked more like this when he hugged his mom:

 it was a fun weekend and its always more fun to watch when chris is so excited the whole time.  i'm glad bubba won and i'm glad daniel apparently likes golf.. haha...
