Justification??

A good piece of chocolate has about 200 calories. As I enjoy two servings per night, and a few more on weekends, I consume 3,500 calories of chocolate in a week, which equals one pound of weight per week.Therefore...In the last 3 1/2 years, I have had a chocolate caloric intake of about 180 pounds. I weigh much less than that, so without chocolate, I would have wasted away to nothing about three months ago! I owe my life to chocolate.

Million Dollar Mermaid

She's not Esther Williams, but Kaylee is our own little million dollar mermaid. She is so accomplished at Synchronized swimming, and she's only been doing it for 18 months. Kaylee swims with the 13-15 year old team, and also does a trio and a solo. She had a great meet this weekend placing 4th, 6th and 7th. Not being allowed to go to practice is the best threat we have to make sure she gets her work done!! Ask Kaylee to tell you all about synchro and she can talk your ear off. She absolutely loves it. And yes, that really is jello in her hair!!

Make a slideshow - it's easy!

X Games 2018

Who needs one of those expensive store bought ramps when you have a garage full of junk just waiting to be used? Travis can make a ramp out of anything. Notice the toy treasure box I use for swim lessons? Just one of the many components that he found in the garage. This is ramp number 4 this week alone. Maybe someday he will make it big and show up on ESPN's X Games!!

We are OLD!!

Well, it finally happened...there is a teenager loose in our home. Ty is way excited to be official, even though we feel like the attitude has been here for a while. Notice the Shaggy "cool" hair, the braces, the "cool store" shirt (dang, no more Target shopping for him), and the ever present Ipod in the ear. (No mom, I can't hear you tell me what to do!!)
So I am finally realizing how old I really am. Try as I might, I am not a mom to cute, sweet little children any longer. I don't quite fit in with all of the young moms who have or are having babies, but I don't feel like I am old enough to hang with the "old" crowd. I guess I feel like I am stuck in the middle, with no one else there.
