Kentucky Derby Pick Has Been Made

The serious business of picking our horses is done. They going to race Mama?

Little guy has 2
Dada has 3
Mama has 6, with a female jockey

And the winner is 16. But the little guy's horse gave it a nice run. Just got tired. Or as the little guy so eloquently said, my horse went home for dinner.

1st Place Overall for Dadda!

Week In Rewind

What would the world be without modern marvels? This week, the little guy talked to both grandparents through FaceTime. Now, let me set the stage. Initially, there is the squeal of delight of Pop Pop. This is quickly followed with his illusive side of dashing into and out of site. Another cool feature, the grandparents see many wonderful sites such as the ceiling, sofa and table. Then there is the finale good bye which often results in the little guy pushing the button with someone in mid sentence. And, of course, lets not forget the call back. Yes, I said it: the call back. It seems that someone has gotten quiet good with making this call unannounced to everybody. Ladies, the call back is coming your way soon

Speaking of gentlemanly ways. This week, someone had to go pee pee REALLY REALLY BADLY while playing outside. Now Mama assessed the situation and quickly determined that with no one around it was time to unveil the "outdoor emergency potty". Which, I might add worked just fine. Until....someone had to poopy and promptly pulled down the pants to go. Try explaining that outdoor pee pee is only fine during an emergency. But poppy never ever can be done. Come again Mama

The little guy continues to charm his swim lesson mates, particularly the mothers. Let me tell you, when this little boy kicks his big feet, it makes a very big splash. And one mother with her beautifully upswung hair was none happy. She did her best to stay her distance. But the little guy true to his charm left the pool with one big kick, that landed you know where. If you can't take the heat ladies, please step aside

Riverwinds Tri

Today, mama completed a bucket list. I've always wanted to compete in a tri type race. But with a bad hip and knee, it seemed beyond the realm of possibility.
But today, Mama officially completed her first aqua bike. And Dad well he completed his first tri. Now grant you, this was a sprint style race but huge accomplishment nonetheless.

Lessons learned

We have an elite athlete in the family. As in the guy next to me said the elite athletes are going now. Say, was that Dada that just jumped in? And is he the only one doing the backstroke? I kid, Dada really is a special athlete who is very dedicated and fast. He rocks.

Mama still has some game. May not be the fastest in the field. But darn it, I finished and still felt pretty darn good. And to those two women who blocked my swim path, move out of Mama's way

The little guy is one lucky guy. PopPop and MomMom got up really early to bring him to watch us race. Pretty special. And awesome to hear them cheer as we made transition

This family is close and supportive. Afterward, we headed to our fav dinner to get our chow down. Which wasn't easy because someone was super tired by then. I don't need a nap Mama, really.

Little guy, always go for your dreams. And don't let obstacles get in your way. Life's a journey. It's way more fun when it's fulfilling!

Lunch Time!

When I'm President, I'm ordering up more Fun Time!
