Lucy Gets BIG Air!

Screamin Demon #360!

Hah! I love it! My 38 year old sister is the belle of the Denver Roller Derby Dolls (Bad Apples team.) As a Blocker and a Jammer, she takes and gives out hits like a 300lb linebacker, not a barely 100lb girlie! She is amazing and I hope to be able to watch her at her Championship game on October 17th in Denver. I told my sister that she looks "hot" in fishnet nylons and she told me, "Thanks for the compliment about my fishnets. The only problem with the fishnets when you fall, is that you get a floor rash that looks like a waffle! Pretty…" Sounds like a serious roller derby occupational hazard to me! Ha ha!

Go Screamin Demon #360!!

Sigh!

I thought it would be fun to purchase the girls pretty princess costumes from Kid to Kid, so they could play dress up like real girls. As you know from previous blogs, my three little tykes are quite the tomboys (Dan's influence! Ha ha!) Anyhow, my attempts to make them "pretty" backfired. Apparently, Abbie didn't think she was pretty enough and thought she would make herself up with a little bit of mascara. Did I say "little bit?????" Anyhow, I am not sure if she is Abbie or Alice Cooper. Ha ha! Never a dull moment with that little monkey girl!

Let The Games Begin!

Our family is very excited to cheer on the athletes at the 2008 Beijing Olympic games. Of course, Lucy and Abbie are partial to both of their home countries! :) The games begin on 08-08-08. The number 8 is considered to be very auspicious in Chinese numerology. I am sure China has gone all out to make these games highly successful and very memorable. What a wonderful opportunity for China to make its grand debute to the entire world! On behalf of our entire family, we wish all the athletes a safe and exciting time in China and best wishes in their quest for the Gold!
