Football Finally!

-
My son has been begging to play football since he was 5 years old and he finally hit the age and weight requirement to play this year! He needed to be 7 years old and 40 pounds. He is 7 years old (almost 8) and 51 pounds. Yee Haw!!!

He doesn't have his jersey yet, but I was so excited that I had to get a picture of him in all the pads. I can't wait to see him play and to scrapbook the memories. August 16th is his first game!

He has football practice 5 days a week for 90 minutes each. Wow! He will need to start eating more or he will lose weight and be too light to play! LOL! Today I was going to walk around the field while he practiced, but it was too hot (about 98 degrees). Or was I just so proud to watch my son doing something he has wanted for so long and finally experiencing it. So I was lazy and just sat in the shade smiling and watching my son get the workout of his life. And guess what? He loved it! That's my son for ya! He loves to exercise. I swear, he will never be fat.

My daughter asked if she could play princess football! Can you picture little girls wearing all those pads under a pretty princess dress?! She always makes me laugh! Maybe I should get a picture of her dressed like that while my son has all his football gear! It would be a hoot!

OH man...you're a brave mom...lol...Dalton wanted to play football and I told him let's try something else first...lol. Pop Warner scares me...let me know how it goes...I'm so afraid of my boys injuring themselves. Every boy wants to play it...the uniforms are just so tough...what boy wouldn't want to wear that...he's such a cute kid.

I'm sorry, did you say "hot" and then "98 degrees" in the same sentence? Come to Arizona! No wait - don't. I'll come your way instead. I want your "hot" days.

I love the football uniform. That is so fun. You're right, if he keeps up the sports, he will never be fat. I need to play some sports. (SIGH) It's too hot.

My 1st Half Marathon of 2013!

-
Image
I ended 2012 with a GAIN (weight that is) but I started 2013 with a BANG and ran a half marathon yesterday (well 15.1 miles actually)! And my children both ran a 10K (6.2 miles). I am so proud they run with me. The race was inside the Olympic oval which was fun to see. I love my BLING (below). My next half marathon is in 19 days! It will be a FUN run and I cannot wait to run it. I ran 6 half marathons last year and I hope to run even more this year. I ran 2 miles more than a half marathon because the line to turn in the timing chip was long. Funny thing about it is my friend knew she was two laps behind me. Because I kept running so did she. She was so mad when she found out she could have stopped earlier.  After the race my daughter passed out cold. I think she is ready for a day of rest after 3 days of snowboarding and a day of running.

Fun in Florida at Walt Disney World!

My children and I spent nine days in Florida at Walt Disney World with my best friend. We had fun, but it is good to be back in the dry heat! My children and I cannot stand the humid weather! The last time I was in Walt Disney World was 15 years ago. I loved it. I decided it is far too big of a place when you have small children. Disneyland is so much better for the young ones because it is smaller.
